Brandybuck insurance company (bic) is deciding whether to insure the lives of those leading a quest to moria. based on past experience, the probability of surviving such a quest is 85.4%. if bic charges a premium of 5,533 silver coins and would pay a death benefit of 59,086 silver coins if the insured were to die, what is the expected value of this insurance policy to bic?
round to the nearest silver coin as needed. if the expected value is a loss to bic, enter your answer as a negative number.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

no oblique asymptote

step-by-step explanation:

to find the oblique asymptote of f(x)

here numerator has degree 1 and denomintor degree 2

degree of numerator < degree of denominator

hence there is no oblique asymptote

when the degree of the denominator > that of the numerator, we saw that the value in the denominator got so much bigger, so quickly,   giving us a horizontal asymptote of the x-axis. or we can write

f(x) = a polynomial of x + a proper fraction.

in this case only we have oblique asymptotes but not when numerator has less degree.
