<u>Step 1: Define</u>
x⁴ - 3x² - 90
x = -3
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: (-3)⁴ - 3(-3)² - 90
- Exponents: 81 - 3(9) - 90
- Multiply: 81 - 27 - 90
- Subtract: 54 - 90
- Subtract: -36
Given Information:
Monthly payment = MP = $1500/4 = $375
Monthly interest rate = r = 25/12 = 2.083%
Required Information:
Present Value = ?
Answer:
Explanation:
n = 10*4
n = 40 monthly payments
The present value is found by
Where r is monthly interest rate.
MP is the monthly payment.
Therefore, $10,110 is the present value of 10 quarterly payments of $1500 each at 25% interest rate compounded each month.
Let us use the Pythagorean theorem in identifying what triangle can be formed.
Let us assume that the 2 wooden dowels each measure 8 inches. We cut off one wooden dowel into half, so it becomes 2 pcs of 4 inches each.
The 3 wooden dowels now measure, 4 inches, 4 inches, and 8 inches.
The Pythagorean theorem states:
a² + b² = c²
4² + 4² = 8²
16 + 16 = 64
34 ≠ 64
The measure of the cut wooden dowel must be longer than the uncut wooden dowel to create a triangle.
I also tried this on a piece of paper, I cut each piece according to the assumed measure. No triangle can be formed under this activity.
