Mortgage A couple can afford $800 per month to purchase a home. As indicated in the table, if they can get an interest rate of 7.5%, the number of years t that it will take to pay off the mortgage is a function of the dollar amount A of the mortgage for the home they purchase.
Amount A ($) | t (years) |
40,000 | 5 |
69,000 | 10 |
89,000 | 15 |
103,000 | 20 |
120,000 | 30 |

a. If the couple wishes to finance $103,000, for how long must they make payments? Write this correspondence in function form if t = f(A).
b. What is f(120,000)? Write a sentence that explains its meaning.
c. What is f (3·40,000)?
d. What value of A makes f(A) = 5 true?
e. Does f (3·40,000) = 3 · f(40.000)? Explain your reasoning.

Consider the following theorem: Theorem: If n is an odd integer, then n³ is an odd integer. Note: There is an implicit universal quantifier for this theorem. Technically we could write: For all integers n, if n is an odd integer, then n³ is an odd integer. (a) Explore the statement by constructing at least three examples that satisfy the hypothesis, one of which uses a negative value. Verify the conclusion is true for each example. You do not need to write your examples formally, but your work should be easy to follow. (b) Pick one of your examples from part (a) and complete the following sentence frame: One example that verifies the theorem is when n = We see the hypothesis is true because and the conclusion is true because (c) Use the definition of odd to construct a know-show table that outlines the proof of the theorem. You do not need to write a proof at this time.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
