Given the coordinates of recatangle ABCD:
A(-3, 1), B(2, 1), C(2, -2), D(-3, -2)
Let's find the new coordinates after the rectangle is translated 4 units horizontally and -2 units vertically.
Let's apply rules of translation.
A translation 4 units horizontally means a shift 4 units to the right.
It is written as: (x + 4)
A translation -2 units vertically means a shift 2 units downwards.
It is written as: (y - 2)
Thus, to find the new coordinates, add 4 to the x-coordinates and subtract 2 from the y-cooridnates.
We have the translation rule: (x + 4, y - 2)
We have:
A(-3, 1) ==> (-3 + 4, 1 - 2) ==> A'(1, -1)
B(2, 1) ==> (2 + 4, 1 - 2) ==> B'(6, -1)
C(2, -2) ==> (2 + 4, -2 - 2) ==> C'(6, -4)
D(-3, -2) ==> (-3 + 4, -2 - 2) ==> (1, -4)
Therefore, the new coordintes of the figure are:
A'(1, -1), B'(6, -1), C'(6, -4), D(1, -4)
ANSWER:
A'(1, -1), B'(6, -1), C'(6, -4), D'(1, -4)
Kita Ramin obtained a $3,000 loan to pay for a used car. She agreed to make 12 monthly payments of $266.22. What is the APR?
Answer:
APR = 6.5%
Explanation:
If Kita makes 12 payments of $266.22, the maturity value of the loan will be equal to:
V = 12 x $266.22 = $3194.64
On the other hand, the maturity value is equal to:
[tex]V=P(1+r\cdot t)[/tex]Where P is the initial amount, r is the Annual Percentage Rate APR and t is the time in years. So, replacing V by $3194.64, P by $3000, and t by 1 year (12 months), we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3194.64=3000(1+r\cdot1) \\ 3194.64=3000(1+r) \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we can solve for r as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3194.64}{3000}=\frac{3000(1+r)}{3000} \\ 1.065=1+r \\ 1.065-1=1+r-1 \\ 0.065=r \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the annual percentage rate is 0.065 or 6.5%
A local health clinic surveys its patients about their waterdrinking habits. It found the data is normally distributed,the mean amount of water consumed daily is 62 ounces, andthe standard deviation is 5.2. How much water, in ounces,do approximately 95% of the patients drink each day?A: 56.8 to 67.2B: 54.2 to 69.8C: 51.6 to 72.4D: 41.2 to 62.0
In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data:
water drinking habits:
mean = 62 ounces
standard deviation = 5.2 ounces
Step 02:
normally distribution:
95% ===> 2 SD
(62 + 5.2 + 5.2) ounces = 72.4 ounces ==> + 2 SD
(62 - 5.2 - 5.2) ounces = 51.6 ounces ==> - 2 SD
The answer is:
51.6 ounces - 72.4 ounces

Given:
a4 = 98
a5 = 99.2
a6 = 100.4
a7 = 101.6
a8 = 102.8
Use the arithmetic sequence formula below:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]Where,
an = nth term
a1 = first term
n = number of terms
d = common differnce
Let's solve for the common differnce.
d = a5 - a4 = 99.2 - 98 = 1.2
Use the 8th term a8, to find the first term:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 102.8=a_1+(8-1)1.2_{} \\ \\ 102.8=a_1+(7)1.2 \\ \\ 102.8=a_1+8.4 \\ \\ a_1=102.8-8.4\text{ = 94.4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the first term a1 = 94.4

if sin = -3/5 and cos >0 what is exact value of cot?5/3-4/33/4-4/5
Explanation
Given the following information:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Sin=\frac{-3}{5} \\ Cos>0 \end{gathered}[/tex]This implies that the value of sin is negative while that of cos is positive.
This occurs in the fourth quadrant. This also means that the value of tan is negative.
We know that sin uses the value of the opposite and the hypotenuse.
We need to determine the value of the adjacent.
[tex]\begin{gathered} Adjacent=\sqrt{Hyp^2-Opp^2} \\ where \\ Hyp=5 \\ Opp=3 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} Adjacent=\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=\sqrt{25-9}=\sqrt{16} \\ Adj=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]We know that cot is the reciprocal of tan. The value of tan is given as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Tan=\frac{Opp}{Adj}=\frac{3}{4} \\ But\text{ tan is negative in the fourth quadrant. } \\ \therefore Tan=\frac{-3}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]We can now determine the value of cot to be:
[tex]Cot=\frac{-4}{3}(reciprocal\text{ of tan\rparen}[/tex]Hence, the answer is the second option i.e. -4/3.

Nelson Collins decided to retire to Canada in 10 years. What amount should he deposit so that he will be able to withdraw $80,000 at the end of each year for 25 years after he retires. Assume he can invest 7% interest compounded annually.
Answer
$1,016,699
Explanation
The amount, A that an invested sum of P, becomes over time t, at a rate of r% is given as
A = P (1 + r)ᵗ
For this question,
A = Total amount that the amount invested becomes = $80,000 × 25 = $2,000,000
P = Amount invested at the start of the 10 years before retirement = ?
r = 7% = 0.07
t = 10 years
A = P (1 + r)ᵗ
2,000,000 = P (1 + 0.07)¹⁰
2,000,000 = P (1.07)¹⁰
Note that 1.07¹⁰ = 1.967
2,000,000 = 1.967P
We can rewrite this as
1.967P = 2,000,000
Divide both sides by 1.967
(1.967P/1.967) = (2,000,000/1.967)
P = $1,016,699

Solution:
Given:
A dodecagon is a 12-sided polygon.
A regular dodecagon is a figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size.
The sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360°.
The formula for calculating the size of each exterior angle is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Each exterior angle = }\frac{360}{n} \\ \text{where n is the number of sides of the polygon} \end{gathered}[/tex]For a dodecagon, n = 12

-3v = -24
-3 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right
v = -24/(-3)
v = 8
suppose you have 5 apples and you subtract 2 of them, how many apples are left?
You are doing the next computation: 5 apples - 2 apples = 3 apples
What is the result of 2 apples - 5 apples?
Use the formula P = 2l + 2w to find the length l of a rectangular lot if the width w is 55 feet and the perimeter P is 260 feet.l = ? feet
In order to determine the length of the given rectangle, Solve the equation for the perimeter of the rectangle for l and replace w=55ft and P=260ft, and simplify:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w \\ 2l=P-2w \\ l=\frac{P-2w}{2} \\ l=\frac{260ft-2(55ft)}{2} \\ l=\frac{260ft-110ft}{2} \\ l=\frac{150ft}{2}=75ft \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the length of the rectangle is 75ft
