flooring a value, simply means, dropping it to the closest integer, so for the floor function or ⌊x⌋, that means
⌊ 2.5 ⌋ = 2
⌊ 2.00000001 ⌋ = 2
⌊ 2.999999999999⌋ = 2
⌊ -2.0000000001⌋ = -3
⌊ -2.999999999999⌋ = -3
let's recall that on the negative side of the number line, the farther from 0, the smaller, so -1,000,000 is a tiny number compared to the much larger -1.
⌊ -5.2 ⌋ = -6.
Answer:
$8.40
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating simple interest is
principal * interest rate * time .
Plugging 140 into the principal, or starting value, 3% as the interest rate, and 2 (years) for the time, we get 140*0.03*2 = 8.4, or $8.40 as our answer. Note that 3% turned into 0.03 as turning a percentage into a decimal requires us to divide the decimal by 100
A = 80/2 = 40
b = 100/2 = 50
d = 180 - (a+b)
d = 180 - (40+50)
d = 180 - 90
d = 90
First, we draw our line.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
a e
Next, break up this line into segments using the information.
|----------------------|----------------------|--------------------|------------------|
a b c d e
The entire line is 29.
ab + bc + cd + de = ae
ab + bc + cd + de = 29
You also know that
bd = bc + cd
Due to midpoint theorem,
ab = bc
cd = de
Then,
2ab + 2cd = 29
The equations we will use are
bd = bc + cd eq1
2bc + 2cd = 29 eq2
Dividing both sides of the equation in eq2 yields
bc + cd = 14.5
bd = bc + cd
bd = 14.5
