4 0

Answer:

1. r^5

2. st^2

3. qr (the two "s" cancel each other out)

4. z (the x^2's and y^2's cancel each other out)

5. m (the n^2's and o's cancel each other out)

6. x

7. z^-1

8. a (the b^2's cancel each other out)

9. d^4 f^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When exponential variables are divided, the base variable stays the same, and the exponents are subtracted. For example, for #6, x^2/x^1 (x doesn't need an exponent but for the sake of explanation is ^1). We subtract the exponents and since anything "to the power of 1" will just be the base number, for example 6^1 will still be 6.

Joshua’s computer loan statement said he would pay $1,244.34 in simple interest for a three-year loan at 12.4%. How much did Jos

rusak2 [61]

Answer: Josh borrowed $ 876 to buy the computer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for simple interest : I = Prt

, where P = principal amount

r= rate of interest ( in decimal)

t=time (in years)

Total amount with simple interest to pay : A = P+I

⇒ A = P +Prt

⇒ A = P(1 +rt) (i)

As per given , A = $1,244.34

r= 12.4% = 0.124

t= 3 years

Now, put these values in (i) , we get

$1244.34=P(1+0.124)^3\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1244.34=P(1.124)^3\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1244.34=P(1.420034624)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{1244.34}{1.420034624}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=876.27$
