It is estimated that the average amount owed for student loans in 2010 was $25,250 per student. if the interest rate for student loans increases to 6.8%, estimate how much more students will pay over a 10-year repayment period for this “average amount owed” as compared with 3.4%

Given:
loan amount: 25,250
original interest rate: 3.4%
new interest rate: 6.8%
term: 10 years.

Assuming that simple interest formula is used.
I = P * r * t
I = interest
P = principal
r = interest rate
t = term/time

I = 25,250 * 3.4% * 10 years
I = 8,585

I = 25,250 * 6.8% * 10 years
I = 17,170

17,170 - 8,585 = 8,585 Additional interest paid using the new interest rate.

The answer that i got was 8/3

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

step-by-step explanation:

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph

there is a hike in both the graphs so the graphs are increasing on their domain.x-intercept of log x and log 6x are differentthere is a vertical asymptote of both the graphs so there is no y-interceptas both the graphs are increasing so there is no horizontal asymptote
