Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The baseball player leaps into the air with an initial velocity of 14 feet per second. This means that the player leaps from the ground, the initial height is therefore zero.

The height (y) is given by the formula:

y(t) = ut - (1/2)gt² + initial heigth

u = initial velocity = 14 ft/s, t = time taken, g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s². Substituting:

y(t) = 14t - (1/2) * 32 *t² + 0

y(t) = 14t - 16t²

b) when the player is on the ground, the height = 0. hence:

0 = 14t - 16t²

16t² - 14t = 0

t(16t - 14) = 0

t = 0 or 16t - 14 = 0

t = 0 or 16t = 14

t =0 or t = 0.875

Hence t = 0.875 seconds

c) The domain is the set of possible values for the time. Hence:

Domain = (0, 0.875] = 0 < t ≤ 0.875

A 20-year loan of 1000 is repaid with payments at the end of each year. Each of the first ten payments equals 150% of the amount

Alja [10]

Answer:

$x = 97$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$t = 20$ --- time (years)

$A =1000$ --- amount

$r = 10\%$ --- rate of interest

Required

The last 10 payments (x)

First, calculate the end of year 1 payment

$y_1(end) = 10\% * 1000 * 150\%$

$y_1(end) = 150$

Amount at end of year 1

$A_1=A - y_1(end) - r * A$

$A_1=1000 - (150 - 10\% * 1000)$

$A_1 =1000 - (150- 100)$

$A_1 =950$

Rewrite as:

$A_1 = 0.95 * 1000^1$

Next, calculate the end of year 1 payment

$y_2(end) = 10\% * 950 * 150\%$

$y_2(end) = 142.5$

Amount at end of year 2

$A_2=A_1 - (y_2(end) - r * A_1)$

$A_2=950 - (142.5 - 10\%*950)$

$A_2 = 902.5$

Rewrite as:

$A_2 = 0.95 * 1000^2$

We have been able to create a pattern:

$A_1 = 1000 * 0.95^1 = 950$

$A_2 = 1000 * 0.95^2 = 902.5$

So, the payment till the end of the 10th year is:

$A_{10} = 1000*0.95^{10}$

$A_{10} = 598.74$

To calculate X (the last 10 payments), we make use of the following geometric series:

$Amount = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1 + r)^n$

$Amount = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1 + 10\%)^n$

$Amount = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1 + 0.10)^n$

$Amount = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

The amount to be paid is:

$Amount = A_{10}*(1 + r)^{10}$ --- i.e. amount at the end of the 10th year * rate of 10 years

$Amount = 1000 * 0.95^{10} * (1+r)^{10}$

So, we have:

$Amount = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

$\sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n = 1000 * 0.95^{10} * (1+r)^{10}$

$\sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n = 1000 * 0.95^{10} * (1+10\%)^{10}$

$\sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n = 1000 * 0.95^{10} * (1+0.10)^{10}$

$\sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n = 1000 * 0.95^{10} * (1.10)^{10}$

The geometric sum can be rewritten using the following formula:

$S_n = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

$S_n =\frac{a(r^n - 1)}{r -1}$

In this case:

$a = x$

$r = 1.10$

$n =10$

So, we have:

$\frac{x(r^{10} - 1)}{r -1} = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

$\frac{x((1.10)^{10} - 1)}{1.10 -1} = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

$\frac{x((1.10)^{10} - 1)}{0.10} = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

$x * \frac{1.10^{10} - 1}{0.10} = \sum\limits^{9}_{n=0} x * (1.10)^n$

So, the equation becomes:

$x * \frac{1.10^{10} - 1}{0.10} = 1000 * 0.95^{10} * (1.10)^{10}$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{1000 * 0.95^{10} * 1.10^{10} * 0.10}{1.10^{10} - 1}$

$x = 97.44$

Approximate

$x = 97$
