Mitchell has $17000 to put towards a car. He wants to invest this money in an account paying 3.3%/a compounded monthly and use it to pay for his monthly car payments for 5 years. He is choosing between a Ford
Focus which will cost him $299 a month (no money down) and a Volkswagen Golf that will cost him $389 a month
(no money down). Which monthly payment can Mitchell afford?

He can afford the monthly payment of the Ford car since his accumulated interest after 5 years is greater than the amount the Ford will cost

Step-by-step explanation:

For the Ford

There are 60 months in 5 years so the total amount he will be paying is 60 * 299 = $17,940

For the Volkswagen, amount to pay will be 60 * 389 = $23,340

Now to see the payment he can afford, let’s calculate the amount he will have in his savings

We shall use the formula for compound interest here

A = I(1 + r/n)^nt

where A is the amount after the

number of years

I is the initial amount = 17,000

r is the rate = 3.3% = 3.3/100 = 0.033

n is the

number of times interest is compounded per year = 12

t = number of years = 5

plugging these values we have

A = 17,000(1 + 0.033/12)^12(5)

A = 17,000( 1.00275)^60

A = $20,045

This shows he can afford the Ford

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
