Sally harris, a young mother, is twenty-six years old. she wishes to purchase $15,000 of a ten-year term insurance. what will be her annual premium?

61.50

62.25

63.00

64.35

77

step-by-step explanation:

well it says right there your brother is 13; "your age". so lets keep it simple. you are 13 years old and there is no way to put this into any kind of equation without wanting to tear your hair out. who came up with this?

x^2 + 10x + 38 + 161/x-4

to find this, you'll need to synthetically divide using synthetic division.

here's how you would set it up:

4 is what you're dividing by (set x -4 = 0)

the numbers you are 'dividing' by are 1, 6, -2, and 9 or the coefficients of the terms listed above.

bring the first term down (1), multiply that by 4 before raising it to the next term to add (6). repeat this process as so:

6 + 4 = 10; 10 x 4 = 40; 40 - 2 = 38 x 4 = 152 + 9 = 161

161 is over x-4 as there are now two constants and you cannot combine them.

also, i'm not sure if it was -9 or +9, so i assumed.

hope this !
