Mitchell took out a loan for $1100 at a 19.2% APR, compounded monthly, to
buy a scanner. If he will make monthly payments of $71.50 to pay off the
loan, how many total payments will he have to make?

A. 16

B. 19

C. 18

D. 17

C. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the numbers of payments using following formula

PV = PMT(1- (1+r)^-n)/r

PVr / PMT = 1 - (1+r)^-n

Where

PV = present value = $1,100

PMT = monthly payments = $71.50

r = interest rate = 19.2% / 12 = 1.6%

n = numbers of month = ?

Placing values in the formula

(1+r)^-n = 1 - PVr /PMT

1.016^-n = 1-1100 x 0.016/71.50

1.016^-n = 0.753846154

-n x log 1.016 = log 0.753846154

n = - log 0.753846154 /log 1.016

n = 17.8

n = 18 payments

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.

14 x 10 5

step-by-step explanation:

10 5 = 100,000

14x10,000 = 140,000
