Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall

candle can burn for. He assumes that the relationship between the height of a candle and number of hours it burns (h) is proportional. How long can a 21 cm tall candle burn for?

(burn time)/(8 h) = (21 cm)/(14 cm)
burn time = (8 h)*(21/14)
burn time = 12 h

Elio expects the 21 cm candle to burn 12 hours.

14cm can burn 8 hours
21cm can burn x hours

14x=8x21
14x=168
x=12

A: 21cm tall candle can burn for 12 hours.

Hope this helps.

At a high school, students can choose between three art electives, four history electives, and five computer electives. Each stu
dangina [55]
If one is to choose among given choices and the order is not important, we use the concept of combination. First, we calculate for the sample space or number available since there is a total number of 12 electives and a student may choose 2 out of them.                           
S = 12C2
That is "the sample space is equal to combination of 12 taken 2". The answer to this is equal to 66. 

Next, we determine the number of outcomes. The equation will be,
                        O = (5C1) x (3C1) 
That is "outcome is equal to combination of 5 taken 1 times combination of 3 taken 1". This is equal to 15. The probability is equal to,
                        P = O/S

Substituting,
                        P = (15/66) = 0.227270
The answer to this item is the third choice.

What is the finance charge on $13,300 financed at 7.9 percent for 4 years if the monthly payment per $100 is $2.44?
luda_lava [24]

If you borrowed $100, then your monthly payment is $2.44

If you borrowed $200, then your monthly payment is 2*2.44 = 4.88

etc etc

We can set up a proportion

2.44/100 = x/13300

to figure out the monthly payment x. Cross multiply and solve for x

2.44*13300 = 100*x

100x = 2.44*13300

100x = 32452

x = 32452/100

x = 324.52

So the monthly payment is $324.52

An alternative way to get this monthly payment is to apply 2.44% to 13300, which is another way to view the phrase  "monthly payment per $100 is 2.44"

------------------

There are 48 months in 4 years (start with 12 mon = 1 yr, then multiply both sides by 4) so we multiply 48 by the monthly payment to get the result 48*324.52 = 15,576.96. This is the total amount you have to pay back which is the principal plus interest.

Subtract off the principal (amount borrowed) to find the interest or finance charge: 15,576.96 - 13,300 = 2,276.96

Using the power series methods solve the 1st order Lane-Emden Equation:
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 2y + xy = 0

Hence, 2y + xy = 0 ---------(1)

Differentiating equation (1) n times by Leibnitz theorem, gives:

2y(n) + xy(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

Let x = 0: 2y(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

2y(n) = -ny(n - 1)

∴ y(n) = -ny(n - 1)/2 for n ≥ 1

For n = 1: y = 0

For n = 2: y(1) = -y

For n = 3: -3y(2)/2

For n = 4: -2y(3)
