<h3>Answer: 173.04 dollars</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

The down payment is $400, so that means they must pay back 1495-400 = 1095 dollars. Let L = 1095 be the amount loaned

The annual interest rate is 28% which means r = 0.28; the monthly interest rate is i = r/12 = 0.28/12 = 0.02333 approximately

There are 12 months in a year, so n = 12 is the number of payment periods

----------------------------------------

In summary so far, we have

L = 1095
i = 0.02333 (which is approximate)
n = 12

Those values will be plugged into the monthly payment formula below

M = L*( i*(1+i)^n )/( (1+i)^n - 1 )

M = 1095*( 0.02333*(1+0.02333)^12 )/( (1+0.02333)^12 - 1 )

M = 105.671914631108

M = 105.67

The monthly payment is $105.67

If they have a monthly payment of $105.67, and they pay that for 12 months, then 12*105.67 = 1,268.04 dollars is the amount of money they pay back to the credit card company.

The total amount of interest would be 1,268.04 - 1,095 = 173.04 dollars

Side note: the formula is a complicated ugly mess, so it's understandable to use calculators that already have the formula built in. Many websites offer free calculators that do this.

Given that the volume of a cube is 2744 cm cube find the length of its edge

bixtya [17]

Volume of cube =a^3
2744=a^3
by making prime factors of 2744
2*2*2*7*7*7=a^3
2^3*7*3=a^3
by taking cube root on both sides
2*7=a
14=a
so<span> the length of its edge =14</span>

Find the exact value of cot 7pi/4 & sec13pi/6 including quadrant location

Gennadij [26K]

First we will convert those radian angles to degrees, since my mind works better with degrees. Let's work one at a time. First, $\frac{7 \pi }{4} * \frac{180}{ \pi }=315$ . If we start at the positive x-axis and measure out 315 we end up in the 4th quadrant with a reference angle of 45 with the positive x-axis. The side across from the reference angle is -1, the side adjacent to the angle is 1, and the hypotenuse is sqrt2. The cotangent of this angle, then is 1/-1 which is -1. As for the second one, converting radians to degrees gives us that $\frac{13 \pi }{6} * \frac{180}{ \pi } =390$ . Sweeping out that angle has us going around the origin more than once and ending up in the first quadrant with a reference angle of 30° with the positive x-axis. The side across from the angle is 1, the side adjacent to the angle is √3, and the hypotenuse is 2. Therefore, the secant of that angle is 2/√3.

Is AB a tangent why or why not??

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

As angle B is a right triangle, the sides AB and CB are perpendicular to each other. From the property of all tangents to a circle given in the beginning it can be concluded that AB is a tangent of the circle

What is the row echelon form of this matrix?

USPshnik [31]

The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2 &-5 \\ 0& 1 & -7\\ 0&0 &1 \\\end{bmatrix}$

<h3>What is the row echelon form of a matrix?</h3>

The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.

The given matrix is presented as follows;

$\begin{bmatrix}-3 &6 &15 \\ 2& -6 & 4\\ 1&0 &-1 \\\end{bmatrix}$

The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;

There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.

Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-2 &-5 \\ 2& -6 & 4\\ 1&0 &-1 \\\end{bmatrix}$
