Answer:
y=-2x+20 or y-4=-2(x-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
first we need to calculate the slope
y2-y1/x2-x1
-6+4/7-8
-2/1
The slope is -2
Nows lets find the y intercept using
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-4=-2(x-8)
y-4=-2x+16
+4 +4
y=-2x+20
Y intercept is 20
Answer:
I didn't know what form you wanted the line in.
Slope-intercept form: y=2x-20
Standard form: 2x-y=20
Point-slope form: y+4=2(x-8) or y+6=2(x-7)
You gave the points (8,-4) and (7,-6).
That last point was (7,-6) right? I seen (7-6) and just thought you probably meant (7,-6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To find the slope: I'm going to line up the points vertically and subtract them vertically, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.
I feel like some people like this more than the formula [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}[/tex]. It is the same thing just a different way to organize things.
So let's do the finding of the slope:
( 8 , -4)
-( 7 , -6)
-------------
1 2
So the slope is 2/1=2.
So we have m=2.
Let's input into our equation y=2x+b.
We need to find the y-intercept. We could do that by using a point on the line. We get to choose between (8,-4) or (7,-6). It does not matter.
y=2x+b with (8,-4)
-4=2(8)+b
-4=16+b
Subtract 16 on both sides:
-4-16=b
-20=b
So the y-intercept is -20.
The equation is y=2x+-20 or y=2x-20 (your pick-same thing).
Now let's also put it in standard form which is ax+by=c where it is preferable to have a,b, and c as integers. (Integers are {...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...}.)
y=2x-20
Subtract 2x on both sides:
-2x+y=-20
This is in ax+by=c form.
You could multiply both sides by -1:
2x-y=20.
This is still in standard form.
Let's also go for point-slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is a given point on the line and m is the slope.
We already have the slope is 2.
We have two points to choose from. Choose one and go with it. Let's choose (x1,y1)=(8,-4).
y-(-4)=2(x-8)
or
y+4=2(x-8)
Now if you did go with the other point (x1,y1)=(7,-6) it would be:
y-(-6)=2(x-7)
y+6=2(x-7)
You are probably wondering how those are the same lines. Let's confirm. Solve both of them for y.
y+4=2(x-8)
Distribute 2:
y+4=2x-16
Subtract 4 on both sides:
y=2x-16-4
Simplify:
y=2x-20
Now the other line:
y+6=2(x-7)
Distribute 2:
y+6=2x-14
Subtract 6 on both sides:
y=2x-14-6
y=2x-20
what is the sum f the first five termns of a geometric series with a_1=20 and r=1/4?
Answer:
1705/64
Step-by-step explanation:
A geometric series contains terms that are in the form [tex]a_1\cdot(r)^{n-1}[/tex] where [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and [tex]r[/tex] is common ratio.
A common ratio is the number that is used to find the next term by multiplying previous term by [tex]r[/tex].
Now we can use a formula and we would be using [tex]S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}[/tex] where n is the number of terms you are adding and [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Before we do that, I'm going to do this without that formula. Sum means we are just going to add these terms after finding them.
The first term is 20.
The second term is (1/4)(20)=5.
Third term is (1/4)(5)=5/4.
Fourth term is (1/4)(5/4)=5/16.
The fifth term is (1/4)(5/16)=5/64.
Now we add them (20)+(5)+(5/4)+(5/16)+(5/64)
Putting this into the calculator gives me: 1705/64.
Now let's do the formula way as well.
Again we have:
r=1/4
[tex]a_1=20[/tex]
n=5 since we adding the first 5 terms:
[tex]S_5=\frac{20(1-(\frac{1}{4})^5}{1-\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{20(1-\frac{1}{1024}){\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{20-\frac{20}{1024}}{\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]
Dividing by 3/4 is the same as multiply by 4/3.
[tex]S_5=(20-\frac{20}{1024})\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=20 \cdot \frac{4}{3}-\frac{20}{1024}\cdot\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{80}{3}-\frac{5}{256} \cdot \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{80}{3}-\frac{20}{256 \cdot 3}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{80}{3}-\frac{5}{64 \cdot 3}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{80}{3}-\frac{5}{192}[/tex]
Multiplying first fraction by 64/64:
[tex]S_5=\frac{80(64)}{3(64)}-\frac{5}{192}[/tex]
[tex]S_5=\frac{5120}{192}-\frac{5}{192}[/tex]
{tex]S_5=\frac{5115}{192}[/tex]
Dividing to and bottom by 3:
[tex]S_5=\frac{1705}{64}[/tex].

Ir x represents a postive
number, select all expressions
whose valve is greater than X.
A.(1 - 1-4)x
B.(1 + 1/4)x
C. 7/8x
D. 9/8x
Answer:
I think it may be B, but double check
Answer:
B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the multiple choices and let us assume that x = 2,
Option A would be equal to [tex]\frac{3}{4}x[/tex],
so if x = 2, then;
[tex]\frac{3}{4}x[/tex] = 1.5 (which is less than x)
Option B would give [tex]\frac{5}{4} x[/tex],
so if x = 2, then;
[tex]\frac{5}{4} x[/tex] = 2.5 ( which is greater than x)
From option C,
[tex]\frac{7}{8} x[/tex] = 1.75 (which is less than x)
From option D,
[tex]\frac{9}{8} x[/tex] = 2.25 ( which is greater than x)
So, options B and D are expressions whose values are greater than x.
whats the are of this figure?!?
Answer:
The area is 5.5 cm squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area, you have to find the areas of the rectangle and the triangle separately and then add your two values together.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is as follows:
[tex]A=lw[/tex]
In this formula, "l" refers to length and "w" refers to width.
As shown in the diagram, your length is 1.5 cm and your width is 2 cm.
Simply plug these numbers into the formula and simplify.
[tex]A=1.5*2\\A=3[/tex]
The area of the rectangle is 3 cm squared.
Next, find the area of the triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is as follows:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]
In this formula, "b" refers to the measure of the base and "h" refers to the measure of the height.
Your base (b) is 2 cm.
To find your height, subtract the length of the rectangle (1.5 cm) from the total length of the shape (4 cm). This will give you a height of 2.5 cm.
Next, plug your values into the formula and simplify.
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} *2*2.5\\A=1*2.5\\A=2.5[/tex]
The area of the triangle is 2.5 cm squared.
Add the area of the rectangle (3 cm squared) to the area of the triangle (2.5 cm squared), and you have the area of the entire figure (5.5 cm squared).
Note: Carlos' mistake in the problem is that he forgot to subtract the length of the rectangle from the length of the entire shape, and incorrectly used 4 cm as his height for the triangle rather than 2.5 cm.
The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 11% per year. State whether
this decrease is linear or exponential. If the component costs $120 today, what will it cost
in three years?
Is the decline in price linear or exponential?
linear
O exponential
Question 1:
In this question, it's asking you if the decreasing rate is linear or exponential.
The decreasing rate would be linear, due to the fact that it is decreasing at a constant rate of 11%. The decreasing rate doesn't change, which makes this linear.
Question 2:
In this question, it's asking you what would the component's cost be in 3 years if it started off at $120.
To find this, we're going to need multiply the price by -.11, and then subtract to get the price. We would repeat this until we reach 3 years.
Work:
[tex]120*-0.11=-13.2\\\\120-13.2=106.8\ \text{(Year 1)}\\\\106.8*-0.11= -11.748\\\\106.8-11.748=95.05\ \text{(Year 2)}\\\\95.05*-0.11=-10.4555\\\\95.05-10.4555=84.59\ \text{(Year 3)}\\\\\text{In year 3, the cost of the component would be \$84.59}[/tex]
Question 3:
In this question, it asks if the decline in price is linear or exponential.
The decline in price would be exponential, due to the fact that the decrease in price is not always the same, since it changes every year. The price doesn't decrease at the same price each year. As you see from question 2, the change in price is not the same each year.
I hope this helps you out.Good luck on your academics.Have a fantastic day!The price decrease of the computer component is exponential. By using the exponential decay formula, the cost of the component that is $120 today will be approximately $84.96 in three years.
Explanation:The decline in the price of a computer component that decreases at a rate of 11% per year is an exponential decline. This is because the price reduction each year is based on the current price of the component, not a fixed amount. To calculate the cost three years from now, we can use the formula for exponential decay:
New Value = Original Value × (1 - Rate of Decrease)^Number of Periods
If today's price is $120, the cost after three years would be:
New Price = $120 × (1 - 0.11)^3
New Price = $120 × (0.89)^3
New Price = $120 × 0.708
New Price = $84.96 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, if the component costs $120 today, it will cost approximately $84.96 in three years.
Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence.
2,−6,18,−54,...
Answer:
[tex]a_n=-3a_{n-1}[/tex] where [tex]a_1=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Recursive means you want to define a sequence in terms of other terms of your sequence.
The common ratio is what term divided by previous term equals.
The common ratio here is -6/2=18/-6=-54/18=-3.
Or in terms of the nth and previous term we could say:
[tex]\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=r[/tex]
where r is -3
[tex]\frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}=-3[/tex]
Multiply both sides by the a_(n-1).
[tex]a_n=-3a_{n-1}[/tex] where [tex]a_1=2[/tex]
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
A recursive rule allows us to obtain any term in the sequence from the previous term.
These are the terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio r
r = - 6 ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ - 6 = - 54 ÷ 18 = - 3
Thus to obtain a term in the sequence multiply the previous term by - 3
[tex]a_{n+1}[/tex] = - 3 [tex]a_{n}[/tex] with a₁ = 2
Continue the series: 135, 83, 52, 31, 21. . .
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term is the sum of the two after it:
a_n = a_n+1 + a_n+2
The next term is:
a₄ = a₅ + a₆
31 = 21 + a₆
a₆ = 10
On a certain exam, Tony corrected 20 papers and found the mean for his group to be 60. Alive corrected the remaining 10 papers and found that the mean for her group was 50. What is the mean of the combined group of 30 students?
Answer:
The mean of the combined group of 30 students is equal to 56.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> The sum of the notes of the 20 papers
y ----> The sum of the notes of the 10 papers
we know that
60=x/20 -----> x=60*20=1,200
50=y/10 -----> y=50*10=500
The mean of the combined group of 30 students is equal to
(x+y)/30
substitute
(1,200+500)/30=56.67
Find the value of a in the picture
Answer:
The measure of arc a is 86°
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The measure of the inner angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite.
so
86°=(1/2)[arc c+arc a]
see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem
In this problem
Triangles ABO and CDO are congruent by SSS postulate theorem
∠AOB=∠COD
∠AOB=arc a -----> by central angle
∠COD=arc c -----> by central angle
therefore
The measure of arc a is congruent with the measure of arc c
arc a=arc c
so
86°=(1/2)[2arc a]
86°=[arc a]
arc a=86°

what is the break-even point for this apple stand?
A. n = 30
B. n = 10
C. n = 25
D. n = 14
Check the picture below.
Answer:
A. n = 30Step-by-step explanation:
The cost function is
[tex]C=10n+150[/tex]
Where [tex]n[/tex] is the number of buckets of apples sold.
The revenue is defined as
[tex]r=15n[/tex]
The image attached shows both functions graphed in the same coordinate system. According with the graph, the break-even point is at (30,450), that is, 30 of buckets sold and $450 of revenue and cost.
In other words, we need to sell 30 buckets to have the cost and revenue equals.
Therefore, the answer is A.

which of the following is a factor of 6x^3 + 6?
a) x - 1
b) x + 1
c) x² - 2x + 1
d) x² + x + 1
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
6x³ + 6 ← factor out 6 from each term
= 6(x³ + 1)
x³ + 1 is a sum of cubes and factors as
x³ + 1 = (x + 1)(x² - x + 1)
Hence
6x³ + 6 = 6(x + 1)(x² - x + 1)
With factor (x + 1) → B
Answer:
b) x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
you can either
1) take (6x³ + 6) and divide by all the choices to see which one gives you a factor. You will realize that if you divide this by option b, you will be able to factorize the equation as follows:
(6x³ + 6) = 6(x+1)(x²−x+1)
Hence option b is a factor
or
2) (my preferred method), utilize the properties of functions and roots.
Let function f(x) = 6x³ + 6
any value of a which gives f(a) = 0 is a root , i.e (x-a) is a factor.
In this case, lets consider option b
let x + 1 = 0 -------> or x = -1
substitute this into the function f(x)
f(-1) = 6 (-1)³ + 6
f(-1) = -6 + 6 = 0
hence x = -1 is a root , or (x+1) is a factor.
as a sanity check, lets try choice a) x -1
let x - 1 = 0 -------> or x = +1
substitute this into the function f(x)
f(1) = 6 (1)³ + 6
f(1) = 6 + 6 = 12 ≠0
hence x = 1 is NOT a root , or (x-1) is NOT a factor.
You can do the same for c and d and find that they too are NOT factors.

A single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an even
number or a number less than 3
Answer:
5/6 (if including 3) 4/6 (not including 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1 and 2 are less than 3
4 and 6 are even
that leaves 5 and 3.
so 4 of the numbers are even or less than 3
Probability of rolling even number or number less than 3 is 2/3.
What is probability?Probability is defined by the possibility of the event to happen which is ratio of no. of favorable outcomes and the total no. of outcomes.
Probability of event = P(E) = No. of favorable outcomes/Total No. of outcomes
Here given that the dice is fair and six-sided is rolled.
Total no. of outcomes by rolling the dice=6 i.e. {1,2,3,4,5,6}
No. of favorable outcomes of getting even no. =3 i.e. {2,4,6)
Probability of rolling an even no.=P(even)= No. of favorable outcomes/Total No. of outcomes = 3/6
No. of favorable outcomes of getting no. less than 3 =2 i.e. {1,2}
Probability of rolling no. less than 3=P(<3) =No. of favorable outcomes/Total No. of outcomes = 2/6
No. of favorable outcomes of getting even no and number less than 3 =1 i.e. {2}
Probability of rolling an even no. and no. less than 3 =P(even and <3) = P(even ∩ <3)= No. of favorable outcomes/Total No. of outcomes = 1/6
As we know P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
Probability of rolling an even no.or no. less than 3 = P(even or <3) = P(even ∪ <3)= P(even)+P(<3)-P(even ∩ <3)
=(3/6)+(2/6)-(1/6)
=4/6
=2/3
Therefore probability of rolling even number or number less than 3 is 2/3.

Complete the square to solve the equation below x^2 + 10x - 13 = 17
Answer:
x = -12.42 or x = 2.42
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 10x - 13 = 17
To solve this using the completing the square method, we will follow the steps below;
First, we will add 13 to both side of the equation, we want only the x variable to be on the left-hand side of the equation
x^2 + 10x - 13 + 13 = 17 + 13
x^2 + 10x = 30
The next step is to add both-side of the equation by square of half of the coefficient of x (that is ; half of 10 is 5, then we will add 5² to both-side of the equation)
x^2 + 10x + 5² = 30 + 5²
Then we can now factorize the left-hand side of the equation and at the same time simplify the right-hand side of the equation
(x + 5)² = 30 + 25
(x + 5)² = 55
We will then take the square root of both-side of the equation
√(x + 5)² = ±√55
x + 5 = ±√55
To get the value of x, we will subtract 5 from both-side of the equation
x + 5 - 5 = ±√55 - 5
x = ±√55 - 5
Either x = + √55 -5 = 7.42 -5 = 2.42
OR
x = -√55 - 5 = -7.42 - 5 = -12.42
Therefore either x = -12.42 or x = 2.42
x = -12.42 or 2.42

a.
25%
b.
33%
c.
67%
d.
75%
Answer:
Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Original Price of car = $38,000
Current Price of car = $28,500
The residual value of Sally's leased car = x = ?
Residual value * Original Price = Current Price
x * 38,000 = 28,500
x = 28,500/38,000
x = 0.75
Since we need to find percentage
Multiply the residual value with 100 i.e,
0.75 * 100 = 75%
Option D is correct.

05.07) The net of a pyramid is shown below: The net of a square based pyramid, with bases labeled 7 inches and the height of the triangle labeled 14 inches. The surface area of the solid is ____ square inches. Numerical Answers Expected!
Answer: 245 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the Surface Area of a figure by adding up the areas of each shape.
First you have to find the area of the base.
7×7 = 49
Then you can find the area of the 4 triangles that complete the pyramid.
Formula for area of a triangle: [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] (one half of base times height)
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (14*7) = x\\\frac{1}{2} 98 = x\\x = 49[/tex]
Since all the triangles are the same, you only have to calculate that once.
Now you just add everything together, and that's your surface area.
[tex]49+49+49+49+49= 245[/tex]
Please mark brainly if it helped you out!~
Answer: 245
Step-by-step explanation:
first you have to 7 for the square which = 14
then after that you do 1/2 b x h = 1/2 7 x 14= 3.5 x 14= 49 but then you have 4 triangles so 49 x 4=196. Then 49 + 196= 245
if 1 added to the numerator of fraction it becomes 1/2 and if one subtracted from the denominator it becomes 1/3 then the fraction is....?
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the fraction be x/y
(x + 1)/y = 1/2
x/(y - 1) = 1/3 Cross multiply both equations.
====================
2*(x + 1) = y Remove the brackets
2x + 2 = y
################
3x = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
3x + 1=y - 1+ 1
3x + 1 = y
#################
Equate both ys
3x + 1 = 2x + 2 Subtract 1 from both sides.
3x + 1-1 = 2x + 2 -1
3x = 2x + 1 Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x-2x = 2x-2x +1 Simplify
x = 1
==================
y = 3x + 1
y = 3(1) + 1
y = 3 + 1
y = 4
The original fraction was 1/4
suppose we represent the distance above the ground by a positive integer and that below the ground by a negative integer first question an elevator descends into mineshaft at the rate of 5 metre per minute what will be it's position after one hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The elevator is descending, so its velocity is -5 m/min. After 1 hour (or 60 minutes), the position is:
x = (-5 m/min) (60 min)
x = -300 m
It's position after one hour is -300 meters.

solve the quadratic equation x^2+2x-8=0 by factoring
Answer:
Answer:
The solutions for the equation are:
x = 2
x = − 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 4, x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 2x - 8 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 8) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 2)
The factors are + 4 and - 2, since
4 × - 2 = - 8 and 4 - 2 = + 2, hence
(x + 4)x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
if f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = 2x + 1, find (f - g)(x)
Answer:
(f-g)(x) = x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 3x-2
and
g(x) = 2x+1
We have to find (f-g)(x)
So,
(f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x)
= 3x-2 - (2x+1)
= 3x-2-2x-1
=x-3
Hence,
(f-g)(x) = x-3
Answer:
( f - g ) ( x ) = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find [tex] ( f - g ) ( x ) [/tex] given that [tex] f ( x ) = 3 x - 2 [/tex] and [tex] g ( x ) = 2 x + 1 [/tex].
So basically we have to subtract the function g from function f.
[tex] ( f - g ) ( x ) = f(x) - g(x) [/tex]
Substituting the given functions in the above equation to get:
[tex] ( f - g ) ( x ) = (3x - 2) - (2 x + 1 ) [/tex]
[tex] ( f - g ) ( x ) = 3x - 2 - 2 x - 1 [/tex]
[tex] ( f - g ) ( x ) = 3x - 2 x - 2 - 1 [/tex]
[tex] ( f - g ) ( x ) = x - 3 [/tex]
Find BC please in the picture
B. 25 Km. The measure of BC is 25 km.
The easiest way to solve this problem is using the cosine theorem c = √a²+b²-2ab*cos A.
BC = √AC²+AB²-2(AC)(AB)*cos A
BC = √(21km)²+(14km)²-2(21km)(14km)*cos 89°
BC = √441km²+196km²-588km²*(0.017)
BC =√637km²-10.26km²
BC = √636.74km²
BC = 25.03km ≅ 25
There is a total of 270 men women and children on a train the ratio of men to women is 4:5 the ratio of women to children is 10:9 how many men are on the train
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say M is the number of men, W is the number of women, and C is the number of children.
M + W + C = 270
M/W = 4/5
W/C = 10/9
We have three equations and three variables, so we can solve this. Let's use substitution.
W = 5/4 M
C = 9/10 W
Substitute into the first equation:
M + 5/4 M + 9/10 W = 270
Substitute again:
M + 5/4 M + 9/10 (5/4 M) = 270
Solve:
M + 5/4 M + 9/8 M = 270
8/8 M + 10/8 M + 9/8 M = 270
27/8 M = 270
M = 80
There are 80 men on the train.
