Remember that the formula for simple interest is:

Where I is the interest to paid, p is the loan, r is the interest rate (in decimal), and t is the time (in years).
A. We know that the interest rate for a loan of 9 months is 2.9%, but we need to convert that rate to decimal. To do that just divide the interest rate by 100%:

Next, we are going to find the time t in years. Since the period of time is 9 months, we are going to dive by 12, the number of months in a year, to obtain the time in years:

Now, we just need to replace the values in our formula to find the interest owned:

We can conclude that <span>the interest owed for a home improvement loan of $900 after 9 months is $19.58.
</span>
B. Similarly:



We can conclude that the interest owed for a home improvement loan of $2500 after 18 months is $116.25.
C. Similarly:



We can conclude that the interest owed for a home improvement loan of $5600 after 6 months is $67.2
To check for continuity at the edges of each piece, you need to consider the limit as
approaches the edges. For example,

has two pieces,
and
, both of which are continuous by themselves on the provided intervals. In order for
to be continuous everywhere, we need to have

By definition of
, we have
, and the limits are


The limits match, so
is continuous.
For the others: Each of the individual pieces of
are continuous functions on their domains, so you just need to check the value of each piece at the edge of each subinterval.
We have that
<span>triangle ABC
where
A(-5, 5), B(1, 1), and C(3, 4) are the vertices
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the hypotenuse is the segment AC
find the equation of the line AC
</span>A(-5, 5) C(3, 4)
<span>
step 1
find the slope m
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=</span>(4-5)/(3+5)-----> m=-1/8
step 2
with C(3,4) and m=-1/8
find the equation of a line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-4=(-1/8)*(x-3)----> y=(-1/8)*x+(3/8)+4
y=(-1/8)*x+(3/8)+4----> multiply by 8----> 8y=-x+3+32
8y=-x+35
the standard form is Ax+By=C
so
x+8y=35
A=1
B=8
C=35
the answer isx+8y=35
