A vehicle is purchased for $18,000, with a down payment of $6,098. The balance in financed for three years at an annual rate of
mestny [16]
The Present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt)/(r/t)
where: P is the monthly payment, r is the annual rate = 7% = 0.07, t is the number of periods in one year = 12 and n is the number of years = 3.

18,000 - 6,098 = P(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-(3 x 12)) / (0.07/12)
11,902 = P(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-36) / (0.07/12)
P = 0.07(11,902) / 12(1 - (1 + 0.07/12)^-36) = 367.50

Therefore, monthly payment = $367.50

The equation $y=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ describes the height (in meters) of a ball thrown upward at $3.5$ meters per second from $5$ met
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5 and if we are looking for the time t it takes for the ball to hit the ground, we are looking for the height of the ball when it is on the ground. Of course the height of anything on the ground is 0, so if we set s(t) = 0 and solve for t, we will find our answer.

0=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5 and factor that however you are currently factoring in class to get that

t = -.71428 seconds or

t = 1.42857 seconds (neither one of those is rational so they can't be expressed as fractions).

We all know that time will never be a negative value, so the time it takes this ball to hit the ground is

1.42857 seconds (round how you need to).

Solve by completing the square. <br> x2-6x+8 <br> Show solving steps please.
devlian [24]

Answer:

(x−2)(x−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's factor x2−6x+8

x2−6x+8

The middle number is -6 and the last number is 8.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -6

Multiply together to get 8

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -2 and -4:

-2+-4 = -6

-2*-4 = 8

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with -2 and -4 to get...

(x-2)(x-4)

Hope this helps! Also, if it's no trouble, can I have brainliest? Thanks! :D

After 5.75 hours, Kyler had finished painting 62.5% of his house. He needs to paint a total of 4,000 square feet on his house. A
MissTica
First, we are going to find the painted area of his house. We know that the total area he needs to paint is 4000 square meters, so 4000 is the area of this house. Now, to find the 62.5% of that area, we are going to multiply it by \frac{62.5}{100}:
Painted area= (4000)(\frac{62.5}{100})=2500

Now, to find <span>rate, in square feet per hour, we are going to divide the painted area by the number of hours: 
Rate=</span>\frac{2500}{5.75} =434.78

We can conclude that Kyler paints at a rate of 434.78 square feet per hour.
