Powered by AIGiven s(k) and k = 3√30, since 3√30 > 0, use the piece of the function s(k) = √11.1k - 63. Calculate s(3√30) = √11.1(3√30) - 63. Compute 3√30 which is approximately 1.3167, then evaluate inside the square root: 11.1(1.3167) - 63, which simplifies further to evaluate s(k).
Calculate monthly interest rate = 11.5%/12 months = 0.9583% per month. Total payments = 12 years * 12 months * R2,975.76 = R428,507.52. Total interest = Total payments - initial loan amount = R428,507.52 - R320,000 = R108,507.52.
To find the inverse of the function t - r where t(x) = x^2 - 1 and r(x) = x^2 + x, first find the resulting function (t-r)(x) = x^2 - 1 - (x^2 + x) = -1 - x. The inverse function switches roles. Therefore, solve y = -1 - x for x, giving us the inverse x = -1 - y.
A function is continuous on an interval [a, b] if it satisfies the following three conditions: 1) The function is defined at every point within the interval, 2) The limit of the function as it approaches any point in the interval from either direction equals its value at that point, and 3) The function has no breaks, jumps, or infinite oscillations within the interval.
To compute (t ◦ r ◦ r)(3/2), first determine r(3/2) = (3/2)^2 + (3/2) = 9/4 + 3/2 = 15/4. Then compute r(15/4) = (15/4)^2 + 15/4 = 225/16 + 15/4 = 285/16. Finally, compute t(285/16) = (285/16)^2 - 1 = 81225/256 - 1 = 81169/256.
Integrate MR = 2000 - 20q - 3q^3 with respect to q to find total revenue (R): ∫(2000 - 20q - 3q^3)dq = 2000q - 10q^2 - (3/4)q^4 + C. Given R = 0 when q = 0, C=0. Demand function is derived by solving price from R as function of q.
To find this conditional probability, use Bayes' theorem. Let E be the event of being an Engineering student, and P be the event of passing. The probability P(E | P) = (P(P | E)P(E)) / P(P), where P(P | E) is the probability that an Engineering student passes (85%), P(E) is the initial probability of selecting an Engineering student, and P(P) is the total probability of passing. Calculate these probabilities based on student distributions and pass rates to find P(E | P).
Calculate quarterly interest as 11%/4 = 2.75%. Convert to effective rate for semiannual compoundings and calculate semiannual payment. Fill in the schedule repeatedly deducting principal repaid, interest computed per period, adjusting principal outstanding each time until repayment completes.
To evaluate lim(x→-1) (x^4 - 1)/(x + 1), notice direct substitution leads to 0/0, an indeterminate form. Use polynomial division or factorization: x^4 - 1 = (x^2 + 1)(x^2 - 1) = (x^2 + 1)(x - 1)(x + 1). Cancel (x + 1) giving: lim(x→-1) (x^2 + 1)(x - 1) = 0.
With semi-annual compounding, interest rate per period = 8%/2 = 4%. Total periods = 12 * 2 = 24. Use future value of annuity formula: FV = Pmt × [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r. Substitute Pmt = R3500, r = 0.04, n = 24 to compute.
