Point +10.
(-2)*(-1) gives +2 (a negative number multiplied for another negative gives a positive number).
2*5 = +10
(5x+1)² = 7; expand: 25x² + 10x +1 = 7 or 25x² + 10x -6 = 0
Solve this quadratic for x:
x = [-b + √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and x = [-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Plug the values and you'll find :
x = (- √7 - 1)/5 (answer C)
x = (+√7 -1)/5 (answer E)
Tom:
Previous balance: 2,452.64
payment: 160
new transaction: 138
APR: 15.6%
We need to divide APR by 12 to get the monthly rate: 15.6% / 12 = 1.3%
2,452.64 - 160 = 2,292.64
2,292.64 * 1.3% = 29.80 interest for the month. We did not include 138 because it still is within the 1 month period and it is not subject to interest. Only the revolving amount of 2,292.64 has interest.
2,292.64 + 29.80 + 138 = 2,460.44 NEW BALANCE OF TOM
Marco:
Unpaid credit card balance: 4,332.75
APR: 18.6%
New transaction: 432
Divide APR by 12 to get the monthly rate: 18.6% / 12 = 1.55%
4,332.75 * 1.55% = 67.16
4,332.75 + 67.16 + 432 = 4,831.91 NEW BALANCE OF MARCO
Answer:
C=50t+150
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given, the equation will need to show that the total cost of the electrician services would be equal to 50 that is the hourly rate for the number of hours spent working plus the fixed fee:
Fixed fee=250-(50*2)=250-100=150
According to this, the equation would be:
C=50t+150, where C is the total cost of the electrician's services and t is the number of hours spent working.
The total number of both men and women surveyed was 305+279+152+459= 1195. Of this total, 279 women cooked dinner so 279/1195=0.23. This would compare with men which would be 305/1195=0.26 or slightly higher probability.
