The Bartolotti family took out a loan to have a garage built next to their house. The 10-year, 10.4% loan was for $56,188. The monthly payment was $475, but the promissory note stated that there was a balloon payment at the end. what is the sum of all but the last monthly payment?

Answers

Answer 1

If the promissory note stated that there was a balloon payment at the end. The sum of all but the last monthly payment is: $56,525, $57,000.

How to find the monthly payment?

Total payment = $475 × [(10 years × 12 months) -1]

Total payment = $475 × 119 payment

Total payment = $56,525

Total payment = $475 × [(10 years × 12 months) ]

Total payment = $475 × 120 payment

Total payment = $57,000

Therefore the monthly payment is; $56,525, $57,000.

The slope is 6.25, it means that her day pay increases by $6.25 for each computer sold

What is the slope of the equation?

A general linear equation in the point-slope form is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where y and x are the two variables, a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, the linear equation is:

P(x) = 6.25*x + 75

We know that P(x) represents her pay, and x represents the amount of computers she sold.

Here we can see that the slope is 6.25, it means says how much her pay increases per computer sold.

hamburgers can be made
from 2 1/2 pounds of ground
beef?

Answers

From the given data, total number of hamburgers of (1/4) pounds each using 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef is equal to 10.

As given in the question,

Total pounds of hamburger need to be made = 1 / 4 pounds

Total pounds of ground beef is used to make hamburger = 2 1 / 2 pounds

Let us consider 'n' be the total number of hamburger to be made each of

1 / 4 pound .

Required equation to show the given relation is given by:

n × ( 1 / 4) = 2  1/ 2

Convert mixed fraction into proper fraction we get,

⇒ n × ( 1 / 4) = 5 /2

⇒ n = ( 5/ 2) × ( 4 /1)

⇒ n = 5 × 2

⇒ n = 10 hamburgers

Therefore, from the given data, total number of hamburgers of (1/4) pounds each using 2 1/2 pounds of ground beef is equal to 10.

The question linked to the chart: Write the linear function in slope-intercept form only that corresponds with this table. Please help!

Answers

A linear function in slope-intercept form that only corresponds with this table is y = 2x + 8.

How to write the linear function in slope-intercept form?

Mathematically, the slope-intercept form of a straight line is given by;

y = mx + b

Where:

x and y represents the points.m represents the slope.b represents the y-intercept.

Mathematically, the slope of any straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

Slope, m = (Change in y-axis, Δy)/(Change in x-axis, Δx)

Slope, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

From the information provided, we have the following parameters:

Point (x, y) = (-1, 6)

Point (x, y) =  (0, 8)

Substituting the given points into the formula, we have;

Slope, m = (8 - 6)/(0 - (-1))

Slope, m = (2)/(0 + 1)

Slope, m = 2/1

Slope, m = 2.

In Mathematics, the y-intercept of a graph occurs at the point where the x-value is equal to zero (0), which is 8 in the table shown above.

Therefore, the slope-intercept form is given by:

y = mx + b

how many times can a honey bee beat its wings per hour? PLS I NEED THIS BECAUSE MT TEACHER DIDNT TELL US WE HAD HOMEWORK UNTIL LIKE RN AND ITS MONDAY!!!

Answers

Answer:

900,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table, we are told that the honeybee beats its wings at a rate of:

250 beats per second.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.

Therefore, there are:

60 × 60 = 3600 seconds in an hour.

To find how many times a honeybee can beat its wings in an hour, multiply the number of times it beats its wings per second by 3600:

⇒ 250 × 3600 = 900,000

Therefore, a honeybee beats its wings 900,000 beat per hour.

A regular polygon is shown. 12 sided regular polygon Determine the measure of one of its angles.

Answers

The measure of one of its angle is 150°

A Polygon is a two-dimensional closed figure made up of line segments (not curves). Polygon is a combination of two words, poly (which means many) and gon (which means shape) (means sides). To create a closed figure, at least three line segments must be connected end to end.

Given that

12 sided regular polygon

We can use the following formula to calculate the total number of degrees in any shape:

(n−2)⋅180

[Where n = number of sides]

(12−2)⋅180

(10)⋅180

=1800

So a 12-sided polygon has 1800 degrees. To calculate the measure of one angle, divide the total number of degrees (1800) by the number of sides, n.

(1800/12) = 150°

Therefore the measure of one of its angle is 150°

Based on the calculations, the distance between points (-5, -5) and (-9, -2) on a coordinate plane is equal to: A. 5 units.

How to calculate the distance on coordinates?

Mathematically, the distance between two (2) points that are on a coordinate plane can be calculated by using this formula:

Distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Given the following points:

Points on the x-axis = (-5, -5).Points on the y-axis = (-9, -2).

Substituting the given points into the formula, we have;

Distance = √[(-2 - (-5))² + (-9 - (-5))²]

Distance = √[(-2 + 5)² + (-9 + 5)²]

Distance = √[3² + 4²]

Distance = √[9 + 16]

Distance = √25

Distance = 5 units.

In conclusion, we can logically deduce that the distance between the given points on a coordinate plane is 5 units.

she bought 13 and has 25 now

so, 1/2x + 13 = 25

1/2 x= 25-13 = 12

hence x= 24

Answer:

    24

Step-by-step explanation:

now Mei has 25 stamp collections after adding 13 more to what she remained with after selling; this means that after selling she was left with (25_13)=12

this is the half of what she had initially

this means that she initially had (12*2)=24

In Geometry, dilation can be defined as a type of transformation which typically changes the size of a geometric object, but not its shape. This ultimately implies that, the size of the geometric object would be increased or decreased based on the scale factor used.

By critically observing the graph, we can logically deduce the following vertices:

b) [tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_\text{out}^2} = -\dfrac{20}{V_\text{out}^2\ln 10}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given equations to find, we are differentiating function G with respect to V out. Therefore, we will be only using the equation (6):

[tex]\displaystyle{G=20\log (10V_{\text out})}[/tex]

Here’s a fresh-up reminders for logarithmic differentiation formula:

[tex]\displaystyle{f(V)=a\log_b V \to f'(x)=\dfrac{a\cdot V'}{V\ln b}}[/tex]

Note that V' means to derive or differentiate the V-term

Therefore, in this scenario, our values of term are:

a = 20b = 10 (Since logarithm base is not shown, it’s always assumed to be common logarithm)V = 10V out

Therefore, we can apply differentiation formula:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{dG}{dV_{\text out}}=\dfrac{20\cdot \dfrac{d(10V_{\text out})}{dV_{\text out}}}{10V_{\text out}\ln 10}}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{dG}{dV_{\text out}}=\dfrac{20\cdot 10}{10V_{\text out}\ln 10}}\\\\\displaystyle{\dfrac{dG}{dV_{\text out}}=\dfrac{20}{V_{\text out}\ln 10}}[/tex]

And we have finished the part a. On part b, we just differentiate the answer from part a again, the second part is to obtain the second derivative which is to derive the first derivative. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_{\text out}^2} = \dfrac{d\left(\dfrac{20}{V_{\text out}\ln 10}\right)}{dV_{\text out}}}[/tex]

First, separate the constant every time when you have to differentiate a function:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{20}{\ln 10}\cdot \dfrac{1}{V_{\text out}}}[/tex]

Differentiate 1/V out: recall the formula of fraction:

[tex]\displaystyle{f(V)=\dfrac{1}{V} =V^{-1} \to f'(x)=-V^{-2} = -\dfrac{1}{V^2}[/tex]

The formula above is derived from power rules formula where:

[tex]\displaystyle{f(V)=V^n = nV^{n-1}}[/tex]

Therefore, from the function of V out:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_\text{out}^2} = \dfrac{20}{\ln 10} \cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{V_\text{out}}\right)'}\\\\\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_\text{out}^2} = \dfrac{20}{\ln 10} \cdot (V_\text{out})^{-1}}\\\\\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_\text{out}^2} = \dfrac{20}{\ln 10} \cdot (-V_\text{out})^{-2}}\\\\\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_\text{out}^2} = \dfrac{20}{\ln 10} \cdot \left(-\dfrac{1}{V_\text{out}^2}\right)}[/tex]

Simplify to latest as we get:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{d^2G}{dV_\text{out}^2} = -\dfrac{20}{V_\text{out}^2\ln 10}}[/tex]
