Mark takes out a $238,000 mortgage for 30 years. Instead of paying his monthly payment of $1,220.09, he decides to pay $1,420.09. This leads to Mark paying off the entire mortgage in 22 years and 5 months. Mark calculates the percent of the total loan he pays back in interest with and without the extra payments. What is the difference between Mark’s calculated percentages? 8.1%
13%
37.7%
45.87%

its the second choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the elements in the range will be 7 less than the elements in the domain.

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
