b. 7.2 hours
c. 5.6 hours

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. It will take them 7.2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that to collect data on the signal strengths in a neighborhood, Briana must drive from house to house and take readings, and she has a graduate student, Henry, to assist her, and Briana figures it would take her 12 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Henry 18 hours if he completed the task by himself, to determine how long will it take Briana and Henry to complete the task together the following calculation must be performed:

1/12 + 1/18 = X

18 / (12 x 18) + 12 / (18 x 12) = X

30/216 = X

5/36 = X

36/5 = 7.2

Therefore, they will be able to finish the task in 7.2 hours.

Answer:

  a) RM2256.09 . . . principal paid by 8th payment

  b) RM1791.10 . . . . interest paid by 12th payment

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the payments.

The payment amount is the amount that makes the future value of the series of payments equal to the future value of the loan at the given interest rate.

The future value of a single amount is ...

  FV = P(1 +r)^n . . . . . where r is the annual rate, and n is the number of years in the future

The future value of a series of payments is ...

  FV = P((1 +r)^n -1)/r . . . . . where n is the number of payments of P earning annual rate r

For payments in a series that does not end at the end of the loan, the future value is the product of that of the series and the effect of the accumulation of interest for the remaining time.

__

The first 4 payments will have a future value at the end of the loan period of ...

  s1 = X((1 +0.05)^4 -1)/0.05×(1 +0.05)^11 = X(1.05^15 -1.05^11)/0.05

  s1 = 7.3717764259X

The next 5 payments will have a future value at the end of the loan period of ...

  s2 = 2X((1 +0.05)^5 -1)/0.05×(1 +0.05)^6 = 2X(1.05^11 -1.05^6)/0.05

  s2 = 14.8097486997X

The last 6 payments will have a future value at the end of the loan period of ...

  s3 = 4X((1 +0.05)^6 -1)/0.05 = 27.20765125X

So, the total future value of the series of payments is ...

  payment value = 7.3717764259X +14.8097486997X +27.20765125X

  = 49.3891763756X

__

The future value of the loan amount after 15 years is ...

  loan value = 60,000(1 +0.05)^15 = 124,735.69

In order for these amounts to be the same, we must have ...

  49.3891763756X = 124,735.69

  X = 124,735.69/49.3891763756 = 2,525.57

__

At this point, it is convenient to use a spreadsheet to find the interest and principal portions of each of the loan payments. (We find the interest charge to be greater than the payment amount for the first 4 payments. So, the loan balance is increasing during those years.)

In the attached, we have shown the interest on the beginning balance, and the principal that changes the beginning balance to the ending balance after each payment. (That is, the interest portion of the payment is on the row above the payment number.)

The spreadsheet tells us ...

A) the principal repaid in the 8th payment is RM2,256.09

B) the interest paid in the 12th payment is RM1,791.10

_____

Additional comment

The spreadsheet "goal seek" function could be used to find the payment amount that makes the loan balance zero at the end of the term.

We have used rounding to sen (RM0.01) in the calculation of interest payments. The effect of that is that the "goal seek" solution is a payment value of 2525.56707 instead of the 2525.56734 that we calculated above. The value rounded to RM0.01 is the same in each case: 2525.57.

jess wants to buy a car but she cannot decide if she should buy a Honda or a Kia. The Honda costs $16,000 and depreciates at an annual rate of 8%. The Kia costs $12,000 and depreciates at an annual rate of 12%. What will each car be worth in 5 years? In 10 years? Which car should she buy and why?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Honda : 16,000

each year depreciates 8% from 100% so will be left with 100-8 =92% or 0.92

in 5 years : 16,000* 0.92^5 ≈ $10,545.30

in 10 years : 16,000* 0.92^10 ≈ $6,950.22

Kia : $12,000

each year depreciates 12 % from 100% so will be left with 100-12 =88% or 0.88

in 5 years : 12,000* 0.88^5 ≈ $6,332.78

in 10 years : 12,000* 0.88^10 ≈ $3,342.01

Jess should buy the Honda if wants to use it for 5 years or less because although is more expensive than Kia, it depreciates less in 5 years.

In 5 years the difference in depreciation is 10,545.30 -6,332.78= $ 4,212.52 this is greater that the difference in the actual price 16,000-12,000 =$ 4,000

Jess should buy the Kia if wants to use the car for 10 years or more because Kia will depreciates less than Honda in 10 years.

In 10 years the difference in depreciation is 6,950.22 -3,342.01 =$ 3, 608.21 this is lower that the difference in the actual price 16,000-12,000 =$ 4,000

Find area and perimeter of shaded regions below

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a square.

side = 24 cm

Area of square = side  * side = 24 * 24 = 576 cm²

Semicircle:

d = 24 cm

r = 24/2 = 12 cm

Area of semi circle =πr²

                               = 3.14 * 12 * 12

                               = 452.16 cm²

Area of shaded region = area of square - area of semicircle  + area of semicircle

  = 576  - 452.16 + 452.16

  = 576 cm²

Perimeter:

Circumference of semicircle = 2πr

               = 2 * 3.14 * 12

               = 75.36

Perimeter = 2* circumference of semicircle + 24 + 24

                = 2 * 75.36 + 24 + 24

                = 150.72 + 24 + 24

                 = 198.72 cm

w • (-4+ z) = mz + 17
z = ____

solve for z.

ps.. pls help me lol. i need the answer

Answers

Answer:

z =  (17+4w)/(w-m)

Step-by-step explanation:

w • (-4+ z) = mz + 17

Distribute

-4w +wz = mz+17

Subtract mz from each side

-4w +wz - mz = mz+17-mz

-4w +wz-mz = 17

Add 4w to each side

-4w +4w+wz-mz = 17+4w

wz-mz = 17+4w

Factor out z

z(w-m) = 17+4w

Divide by (w-m)

z(w-m)/(w-m) = (17+4w)/(w-m)

z =  (17+4w)/(w-m)

A rectangular floor is 20 feet long and 16 feet broad. if it is to be paved with squared marbles of same size,find the greatest length of each squared marbles.​

Answers

Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess, the meaning is the largest marbles, so that we can pave the whole floor without cutting any marbles and leaving empty spots.

so, 20×16 ft²

we can have marbles 1/2 ft long. and it all fits well : 40×32 marbles.

we can have them 1 ft long, and it all fits well : 20×16 marbles.

we can have them 2ft long, and it still fits well : 10×8 marbles.

and so on.

so, actually, we are looking for the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 20 and 16. and that gives us the maximum length of a single marble to fulfill the requirement.

let's go for the prime factors starting with 2

20/2 = 10

10/2 = 5

5/3 fits not work

5/5 = 1 done

so, 20 = 2²×3⁰×5¹

16/2 = 8

8/2 = 4

4/2 = 2

2/2 = 1 done

16 = 2⁴

so, for the GCD I can only use powers of 2 (the only prime factors both numbers have in common).

and we have to use the smaller power of 2, which is 2, so, the GCD is 2² = 4

=>

the maximum length of the squared marbles is 4 ft.

that would pave the floor with 5×4 marbles completely.

Answers

Answer:

There isn't enough evidence to indicate that the mean number of TVs in Rocklin households is higher than the reported national average .

H0 : μ = 2.7

H1 : μ > 2.7

Given the data :

Sample size, n = 12

The sample mean, xbar = ΣX / n = 33/12 = 2.75

The sample standard deviation, s = 1.215 ( from calculator)

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

T = (2.75 - 2.7) ÷ (1.215/√(12))

T = 0.05 / 0.3507402

T = 0.1426

The critical value from Tscore ;

df = 12 - 1 = 11

Critical value = 1.796

Since ; Test statistic < Critical value ;WE fail to reject the Null and conclude that there isn't enough evidence to indicate that the mean number of TVs in Rocklin households is higher than the reported national average

Answers

Answer: Missing segment = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of a similar triangle, ratio, and cross-multiplication.

In similar triangles, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a particular uniform scaling of the other.

A ratio is a quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

Cross-multiplication means multiplying the numerator of each fraction by the other's denominator or the other way round.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Let x be the length of missing segment

Step One: write the proportion ratio

56 / 56 + 24 = 105 / 105 + x

Step Two: Cross-multiplication

56 (105 + x) = 105 ( 56 + 24)

Step Three: Simplify parenthesis and expand it

56 ( 105 + x) = 105 (80)

5880 + 56x = 8400

Step Four: Subtract 5880 on both sides

5880 + 56x - 5880 = 8400 - 5880

56x = 2520

Step Five: Divide 56 on both sides

56x / 56 = 2520 / 56

x = 45
