$10,500

$13,000

$15,500

$12,000

 The correct option is

(A) $10,500.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the Lydia finds a car that costs $13,000 and she has $2,500 saved for a down payment. She qualifies for a 5% interest rate.

We have to find the value on which interest will be calculated on.

According to the given information, we have

Car cost                                               13,000

Down Payment                                     2,500

Balance amount                                  10,500

Thus, the value on which interest will be calculated is 10,500.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

answer: -10

step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = 1 - 10t

s(x) = 1 - 10x

s(x + h) = 1 - 10(x + h)

            = 1 - 10x - 10h

s(x + h) - s(x) = 1 - 10x - 10h - (1 - 10x)

                      = 1 - 10x - 10h - 1 + 10x

                      = -10h

= -10
