Answer:

smallest number=626

middle number=628

larger number=630

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the numbers, let's use n as the variable. Since we know that the numbers are consecutive even numbers, we know that they increase by 2. For example, we could have 2+4+6=12.

Knowing that the consecutive numbers increase by two's, we can use this.

smallest number: n

middle number: n+2

larger number: n+4

All we have to do is add these together and set it equal to 1884.

n+(n+2)+(n+4)=1884 [combine like terms]

3n+6=1884 [subtract both sides by 6]

3n=1878 [divide both sides by 3]

n=626

Now that we know n=626, we also know that the other numbers are 626, 628, 630 respectively.

A certain college graduate borrows 7864 dollars to buy a car. The lender charges interest at an annual rate of 13%. Assuming tha

White raven [17]

Answer:

Therefore rate of payment = $ 3145.72

Therefore the rate of interest = =$1573.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider A represent the balance at time t.

A(0)=$ 7864.

r=13 % =0.13

Rate payment = $k

The balance rate increases by interest (product of interest rate and current balance) and payment rate.

$\frac{dB}{dt} = rB-k$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dB}{dt} - rB=-k$ .......(1)

To solve the equation ,we have to find out the integrating factor.

Here p(t)= the coefficient of B =-r

The integrating factor $=e^{\int p(t) dt$

$=e^{\int (-r)dt$

$=e^{-rt}$

Multiplying the integrating factor the both sides of equation (1)

$e^{-rt}\frac{dB}{dt} -e^{-rt}rB=-ke^{-rt}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-rt}dB - e^{-rt}rBdt=-ke^{-rt}dt$

Integrating both sides

$\Rightarrow \int e^{-rt}dB -\int e^{-rt}rBdt=\int-ke^{-rt}dt$

$\Rightarrow e^{-rt}B=\frac{-ke^{-rt}}{-r} +C$ [ where C arbitrary constant]

$\Rightarrow B(t)=\frac{k}{r} +Ce^{rt}$

Initial condition B=7864 when t =0

$\therefore 7864= \frac{k}{r} - Ce^0$

$\Rightarrow C= \frac{k}{r} -7864$

Then the general solution is

$B(t)=\frac{k}{r}-( \frac{k}{r}-7864)e^{rt}$

To determine the payment rate, we have to put the value of B(3), r and t in the general solution.

Here B(3)=0, r=0.13 and t=3

$B(3)=0=\frac{k}{0.13}-( \frac{k}{0.13}-7864)e^{0.13\times 3}$

$\Rightarrow- 0.48\frac{k}{0.13} +11614.98=0$

⇒k≈3145.72

Therefore rate of payment = $ 3145.72

Therefore the rate of interest = ${(3145.72×3)-7864}

=$1573.17

Option 1:<br><br> Find x. Show all work.

Ronch [10]

Using law of cosines:

Cos(angle) = adjacent/ hypotenuse

Cos(22) = 12/x

Rewrite to get:

X = 12/cos(22)

Simplify:

X = 12.9424

Round the answer as needed.
