Sub in given values to get 2 equations.

a + b \cos(2*0) = -1 \rightarrow a+b = -1 \\  \\ a+b \cos(2*\frac{\pi}{2}) = 7 \rightarrow a - b = 7

Solve system using elimination.  Add the equations together, cancelling out 'b'
2a = 6 \\  \\ a = 3

Sub into first equation to get value for 'b'
3+b = -1 \\  \\ b = -4

First thing to do is to remember, that the circumference of the full circle is 2(6)pi--12pi.  you only want about 120 of it so (120/360)=1/3, so you add it into the thing earlier to get, 12pi(1/3)=4pi =12.566... which you can round into 12.6.  This is answer choice A.

Colin is painting figurines. He spends 20 minutes painting each figurine. After painting for 60 minutes, he still has 9 more fig
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

f(t) = -0.05t +12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must pay attention to the following data supplied:

- f It is the number of figurines that remain to be painted.

- t amount of time, in minutes, that Colin spends painting

- Colin takes 20 minutes painting each figurines.

- After painting 60 min, he still has 9 figurines left. f (60) = 9

If he takes 20 minutes painting 1, it means that in 60 minutes he has painted 3 and he has 9 left.

Then, at the beginning he has 9 +3 figurines to be painted.

f (0) = 3 + 9\\f (0) = 12

With these two points we can find the function:

If m is the slope of the line, then:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m = \frac{9-12}{60-0}\\\\m = -0.05\\\\f (t) = -0.05t + c

Where by definition c = f(0) = 12

Finally the formula is:

f(t) = -0.05t +12

Susan and ronald dugan agreed upon the price of 256,000 for their new home. They plan to make 30 percent down payment and financ
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The total amount to be paid for new home is $838,014.72  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price of the new house = $256,000

The down payment amount = 30% of house price

So, The down payment price =  30% of $256,000

i.e The down payment price =  \dfrac{30}{100} × 256000

Or, The down payment price = $76,800

Now, rest amount is finance

So, The finance Amount = p = $256000 - $76800 = $179,200

The rate of interest applied = r = 7.5%

The time period of finance = t = 20 years

Let The Amount after 20 years of finance = $A

Let The total amount to be paid for new home = $B

<u>Now, From Compound Interest </u>

Amount = Principal × (1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}

Or, A = p × (1+\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm t}

Or, A = $179,200 × (1+\dfrac{\textrm 7.5}{100})^{\textrm 20}

Or, A = $179,200 × (1.075)^{\textrm 20}

Or, A = $179,200 × 4.24785

∴  A = $761,214.72

So,The Amount after 20 years of finance = A = $761,214.72

<u>Now, Again</u>

The total amount to be paid for new home = Down payment amount + The Amount after 20 years of finance

Or, B = $76,800 + A

Or, B = $76,800 + $761,214.72

Or, B = $838,014.72

So, The total amount to be paid for new home = B = $838,014.72

Hence, The total amount to be paid for new home is $838,014.72  Answer
