Your brother has asked you for a loan and has promised to pay you $7,100 at the end of three years. if you normally invest to earn 8.20 percent per year, how much will you be willing to lend to your brother if you view this purely as a financial transaction (i. e., you don’t give your brother a special deal)? (if you solve this problem with algebra round intermediate calculations to 6 decimal places, in all cases round your final answer to the nearest penny.)

5605.01 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that after 3 years your brother will pay your 7100 dollars.

If invested otherwise, interest is 8.20 percent per year

Let P be the amount invested

Then after 3 years at compound interest final amount

A =

This must be less than or equal to 7100 if willing to lend to brother

i.e.

So willing to lend upto 5605.01 dollars

the range of a function is the range of y-values for which it is defined, or exists. given that we are only looking at the y-values, we can already discount the first two answers as they deal with the domain of the function (range of x-values).

now, what we need to do is find the smallest and highest y-values for which the function is defined. if you'd like, you could take a ruler and start at the very bottom of the graph, find the lowest point, then move the ruler higher and higher until you reach the highest point. doing so either in your head or with an actual ruler, we can see that the lowest y-value is -5 and the highest y-value is -1.

the question now remains as to whether they are included in the range (fourth answer) or excluded (third answer). the key here is to recognise whether they are marked with an open or a closed circle. since both (-2, -5) and (2, -1) are marked with a closed circle, they are points that exist on the graph and are thus included in the range (note that if they were marked with an open circle like (4, -2) then that would signify that there is a break in the graph at that point).

thus, the fourth answer, (y | -5 ≤ y ≤ -1), is correct.

also note that usually it is good practice to scan your eye inbetween the highest and lowest point for any breaks in the graph - we do have one here at (4, -2), however -2 is still included in the range because there is another point that is included in the graph with the same y-value, ie. point (1, -2).

i hope that but if you require any further explanation don't hesitate to comment below.
