(intro) Slope is change in y divided by change in x (axes). Here, the y axis is depth and the x axis is hours. So, the slope is change in depth between any two points, divided by the change in hours between the same points. The slope of this line is half a foot depth divided by 2 hours.
a) So, the slope is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25, or 1/4.
b) The graph shows a constant rate of change because the line is straight (it increases at the same speed. If the line was curving, it would not be a constant rate of change).
c) Yes, because the line has a constant rate of change now.
Answer:
The y-intercept is 1 space higher.
Step-by-step explanation:
y goes up by 1.
Answer:
(a) Number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit is (1.1t) inches
(b) The remaining length of the candle is (16 - 1.1t) inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). Length of candle before it was lit = 16 inches
Constant rate at which at which candle burns = 1.1 inches per hour
Let t represent the number of hours that have elapsed since the candle was lit
In 1 hour, 1.1 inches of the candle burned
Therefore, in t hours, (1.1t) inches of the candle would have burned since the candle was lit
(b) Remaining length of candle = length of candle before it was lit - length of candle that have burned = 16 inches - 1.1t inches = (16 - 1.1t) inches
He actually borrowed P=21349-3000=18349 (present value)
Assume the monthly interest is i.
then future value due to loan:
F1=P(1+i)^n=18349(1+i)^(5*12)=18349(1+i)^60
future value from monthly payment of A=352
F2=A((1+i)^n-1)/i=352((1+i)^60-1)/i
Since F1=F2 for the same loan, we have
18349(1+i)^60=352((1+i)^60-1)/i
Simplify notation by defining R=1+i, then
18349(R^60)-352(R^60-1)/(R-1)=0
Simplify further by multiplication by (R-1)
f(R)=18349*R^60*(R-1)-352(R^60-1)=0
Solve for R by trial and error, or by iteration to get R=1.004732
The APR is therefore
12*(1.004732-1)=0.056784, or 5.678% approx.
