Ricky is taking out a personal loan for $12,000 to remodel his kitchen. He would like the lowest monthly payment possible, even

if it means a bigger finance charge in the end. His bank has offered him a loan at 13% interest for 36 months or 12% interest for 60 months, both of which are compounded monthly. Which of the following statements most accurately describes what Ricky should be thinking?

Answer:

The answer is:

a. More payments with the 60 month loan will give him the lowest monthly payment.

Let me help you, but first I will explain the formula used to calculate monthly compound interest.

The formula used to calculate compound monthly compound interest is

a=p(1+r/n)^nt

P Represents the principal

R Represents the rate (in decimal)

N is basically 12 months

T Represents the time (in years)

Let's plug the numbers in.

First statement

"His bank has offered him a loan at 13% interest for 36 months"

12000(1+.13/12)^(12)(3)

12000(1+.13/12)^(12)(3) = $17,686.64

Second statement

"12% interest for 60 months"

Plug in the numbers into the formula.

12000(1+.12/12)^(12)(5)

12000(1+.12/12)^(12)(5) = 21,000.36

<u>Answer</u>

The answer would be "13% interest for 36 months" as it is much lower compared to the other statement.

Hello:) anyone able to explain how to solve the equestrian for part (d) ? Thank youu
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4a^{4} - 5a² + 1 = 0

Use the substitution u = a², then equation is

4u²  - 5u + 1 = 0

Consider the product of the coefficient of the u² term and the constant term

product = 4 × 1 = 4 and sum = - 5

The factors are - 4 and - 1

Use these factors to split the u- term

4u² - 4u - u + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

4u(u - 1) - 1(u - 1) = 0 ← factor out (u - 1) from each term

(u - 1)(4u - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u - 1 = 0 ⇒ u = 1

4u - 1 = 0 ⇒ 4u = 1 ⇒ u = \frac{1}{4}

Convert u back into terms of a, that is

a² = 1 ⇒ a = ± 1

a² = \frac{1}{4} ⇒ a = ± \frac{1}{2}

Solutions are a = ± 1 , a = ± \frac{1}{2}
