Gilbert is graduating from college in twelve months, but he will need a loan in the amount of $5,125 for his last two semesters. He may either receive an unsubsidized Stafford Loan with an interest rate of 6.8%, compounded monthly, or his parents may get a PLUS Loan with an interest rate of 7.8%, compounded monthly. The Stafford Loan has a grace period of six months from the time of graduation. Which loan will have a higher balance at the time of repayment and by how much? (3 points)

The Stafford Loan has a higher balance by $134.35. The Stafford Loan has a higher balance by $274.36. The PLUS Loan has a higher balance by $54.79. The PLUS Loan has a higher balance by $85.22.

Answers

Answer 1
Stafford: $ 5,673.71 PLUS: $ 5,539.36
Answer 2
Final answer:

To determine which loan will have a higher balance at the time of repayment, we need to calculate the future value of both loans. The Stafford Loan will have a higher balance by approximately $234.36.

Explanation:

To determine which loan will have a higher balance at the time of repayment, we need to calculate the future value of both loans. Let's start with the Stafford Loan:

Principal: $5,125

Interest Rate: 6.8%

Compounding Period: Monthly

Time: 12 months

Using the formula for future value of an ordinary annuity, we can calculate the balance of the Stafford Loan at the time of repayment:

FV = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r

FV = 5125 * ((1 + 0.068/12)^(12*1) - 1) / (0.068/12)

Calculating this gives us an approximate loan balance of $5,259.35.

Now let's calculate the future value of the PLUS Loan:

Principal: $5,125

Interest Rate: 7.8%

Compounding Period: Monthly

Time: 12 months

Using the same formula, we can calculate the balance of the PLUS Loan at the time of repayment:

FV = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r

FV = 5125 * ((1 + 0.078/12)^(12*1) - 1) / (0.078/12)

Calculating this gives us an approximate loan balance of $5,024.99.

Therefore, the Stafford Loan will have a higher balance at the time of repayment by approximately $234.36. The correct answer is: The Stafford Loan has a higher balance by $234.36.

Which graph could represent the data shown below?

Answers

From the attached diagram you can see that regression that best fits given data is quadratic (not linear).

option 1 is false, because it gives linear regression;option 2 is true, it gives graph, similar to quadratic parabola;options 3 and 4 are false, because graphs are decreasing.

Answer: correct choice is B.

The graph of the given values is required.

Option B is correct.

The points are

[tex](1,97)[tex]

[tex](2,168)[/tex]

[tex](3,259)[/tex]

[tex](4,375)[/tex]

Let us find if the points are in the form of a line by finding the slope.

[tex]\dfrac{168-97}{2-1}=71[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{259-168}{3-2}=91[/tex]

[tex]71\neq 91[/tex]

So, the function is not linear.

Therefore, A and C are incorrect.

Also the function is not decreasing so option D is also eliminated.

A basketball player is 15 ft horizontally from the center of the basket, which is 10 ft off the ground. At what angle should the player aim the ball if it is thrown from a height of 8.2 ft with a speed of 29 ft/s ?

Answers

the direction of path should be inclined at and angle of
sin (theta) = (10 - 8.2)/ 15 = 3 / 25
this angle is the ratio of the vertical displacement of the projectile and the horizontal displacement of the projectile.time taken to reach the top most point can found out by by using the formula v = u + at in the vertical direction 
intial velocity in vertical direction = 29 sin (theta)
final velocity in vertical direction = 0 
acceleration in vertcal direction = - 32 ft / s^2   so u will get the time to be 29 sin (theta) / 32
vertical displacement = [29 sin (theta)] [(29 sin ( theta)/32)] - (1/2)32 [(29 sin (theta)/32)]^ 2 
horizontal displacement = [29 cos ( theta )] * 29 sin (theta) / 32
vertical displacement /   horizontal displacement=   3/25 
if u substitute the values u will get tan (theta) = 6 / 25

At which angle will the hexagon rotate onto itself?

Answers

360°/60°=6
in 360° you have 6 rotations of 60°

Answer:

The correct answer is: 60°  

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotational symmetry is a type of symmetry, in which an object returns back to its original shape after rotation at an angle of 360°/n about a fixed point.

A hexagon is a regular polygon that has six edges and vertices. It has six internal angles, 120° each.

Since there are 6 equal edges, therefore, the hexagon will rotate onto itself after every rotation at an angle of: 360°/n = 360°/6 = 60°

The slope of a line is 0, and the y-intercept is 6. the equation, written as y = 6, represents a horizontal line. true false

Answers

The answer is: true.

Here's why:

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there's no change in y-value as x changes.

A y-intercept of 6 means the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 6).

The equation y = 6 represents a constant y-value for any x, which indeed depicts a horizontal line that intersects the y-axis at (0, 6).

Therefore, both the slope and the equation confirm that the line is horizontal.

You know that a certain trait occurs in 30% of the population. You want to know how many individuals you have to draw from the population, on average, to get three subjects with the trait.

Answers

Final answer:

To find out how many individuals you have to draw from the population, on average, to get three subjects with the trait, you can use the geometric distribution. The average number of trials until the third success can be calculated by dividing 1 by the probability of success.

Explanation:

To find out how many individuals you have to draw from the population, on average, to get three subjects with the trait, you can use the geometric distribution.

The probability of success (finding an individual with the trait) is 30% or 0.30, and the probability of failure is 70% or 0.70.

To calculate the average number of trials until the third success, you divide 1 by the probability of success:
1 / 0.30 = 3.33

Therefore, on average, you would have to draw from the population about 3.33 individuals to get three subjects with the trait.

Serena drove 40 km on 3 L of gasoline. Which of the following would be an equation to help you find out how far she can travel on a full tank of 50 L? Serena drove 40 km on 3 L of gasoline. Which of the following would be an equation to help you find out how far she can travel on a full tank of 50 L?

Answers

So here is the solution to the given problem above.
Given that Serena drove 40km on 3L of gasoline, we can say that she drove 13.33 kilometers per liter of gasoline. Since we want to find out how far she travelled with a full tank of 50L, we will only multiply 13.33 by 50 and we get 666.67 kilometers. So the answer would be 666.67 kilometers for 50 L of gasoline.

susan wants to buy a paddle boat for $840. She will pay 20% down and pay the rest in six months installments. what will be the amount of each monthly payments?

Answers

What she will pay first :
840/100 x 20 = 168
The amount remaining for her to pay
840 - 168 = 672
Amount to pay every month :
672/6 = 112

Susan's down payment for the paddle boat is $168, with the remaining $672 divided into six monthly payments of $112 each.

Susan wants to buy a paddle boat for $840. She will pay 20% down and the rest in six monthly installments. To calculate the down payment, we calculate 20% of $840, which is $168.

The remaining amount after the down payment is $840 - $168 = $672. This remainder will be paid in six monthly installments, so we divide $672 by 6 to get the monthly payment amount.

The amount of each monthly payment will therefore be $672 / 6 = $112 per month.

Therefore, as per the above explaination, the correct answer is $112.
