its A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$38.46
Step-by-step explanation:
Minimum payment = 15% of balance
Balance = $256.38
Therefore
15% of $256.38
Change 15% to decimal
15% /100% x $256.38
0.15 x $256.38
$38.46
Her minimum payment is $38.46
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
The function represents a <em>cosine</em> graph with axis at y = - 1, period of 6, and amplitude of 2.5.
<h3>How to analyze sinusoidal functions</h3>
In this question we have a <em>sinusoidal</em> function, of which we are supposed to find the following variables based on given picture:
- Equation of the axis - Horizontal that represents the mean of the bounds of the function.
- Period - Horizontal distance needed between two maxima or two minima.
- Amplitude - Mean of the difference of the bounds of the function.
- Type of sinusoidal function - The function represents either a sine or a cosine if and only if trigonometric function is continuous and bounded between - 1 and 1.
Then, we have the following results:
- Equation of the axis: y = - 1
- Period: 6
- Amplitude: 2.5
- The graph may be represented by a cosine with no <em>angular</em> phase and a sine with <em>angular</em> phase, based on the following trigonometric expression:
cos θ = sin (θ + π/2)

The length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable is equal to 182 meters.
<h3>How to determine the length of extra cable?</h3>
In order to determine the length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable, we would apply the law of cosine as follows:
B² = A² + C² - 2(A)(C)cosB
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
B² = 325.0² + 430.0² - 2(325.0)(430.0)cos23
B² = 105,625 + 184,900 - 279,500(0.9205)
B² = 290,525 - 257,279.75
B² = 33,245.25
B = √33,245.25
B = 182.33 ≈ 182 meters.
