In a secured loan, collateral is a. valuable property that the borrower promises to give the lender in the event of default on the loan b. an agreement made in civil court agreeing that the borrower may be arrested in the event of default on the loan c. an agreement signed by a co-borrower promising to pay the loan in the event the primary borrower defaults on the loan d. and insurance policy taken out by the lender and paid for by the borrower to cover the lender from loss in the event of default

the correct answer is a

The answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a secured loan, collateral is - valuable property that the borrower promises to give the lender in the event of default on the loan.

When a person borrows money from the lender, he can provide a collateral, it is a kind of guarantee against the loan. The collateral value is sometimes more than the borrowed amount. Like- a person can keep his car as a collateral or any jewelry etc. This is because if in case the person is unable to pay back, the lender can sell off the collateral and recover his money.

1) table

x |    3       9     13     20
y |    9     27     29     60

Probe the ratio y / x

9 / 3 = 3

27 / 9 = 3

29 / 13 = 3

60 / 20 = 3     

since y/ x = constant, we proved that the varibles are in direct variaton.

The function is found by doing y / x = k => y = kx

We have found k = 3, so the function is y = 3x

y = 3x

2) You can notice that y = 1 /x is the parent function of y = 5 / (x +6).

That means that you can tranform the graph of 1/x with some simple transformations (scaling and translating) to obtain the function 5/(x + 6).

If you call f(x) = 1 /x and g(x) = 5 / (x + 6), you can obtain:

 g(x) = 5 * 1(x +6) = 5 * f(x+6)

That means, that the graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting the graph of f(x) 6 units to the left and scaling by tactor 5.< answer.

3) The cost per share, C is equal to the cost of the table ($500) divided by the total number of contributors.

The total number of contributor is equal to 5 plus the additinal contributors, n.

The, you can do:
      
                       500                        500
C =  =
         number of contributors       5 + n

So the asked function is C(n) = 500 / (5 + n) <answer

To find how many new contributors Jane has to recruit fo make the cost per share equal to $20, solve the equation:

500 / (5 + n) = 20

=> 500 = 20(5 + n)

=> 500 = 100 + 20n

=> 20 n = 500 - 100

=> 20 n = 400

=> n = 400 / 20

=> n = 20

20 new contributors.
