Frank loaned Christine $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $1,414 | |
| $1,512 | |
| $1,484 | |
| $1,428 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,400
i = 0.08 x $1,400
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,400 + $112What is (c2)4?
| 4c2 | |
| c6 | |
| c8 | |
| c2 |
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(c2)4What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{18} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 10\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 10\( \sqrt{18} \) | |
| 16\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 10\( \sqrt{36} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
3\( \sqrt{18} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(3)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
9\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)A machine in a factory has an error rate of 8 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 7 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 101.5 | |
| 185.2 | |
| 156.4 | |
| 124.2 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{8}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{8 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{80}{100} \) = 0.8 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.8 = 9.2 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 7 = 17 hours yesterday so you would expect that 17 x 9.2 = 156.4 error free parts were produced yesterday.
\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for division |
|
commutative property for division |
|
commutative property for multiplication |
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
