n 1917 the cost of a first-class postage stamp was 3¢. In 1974 the cost for a first-class postage stamp was 10¢. What is the percent of increase in the cost of a first-class postage stamp?

Answer:

So the y-intercept is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

So your table doesn't out right say the y-intercept.  If it did it would be (x=0,y=something).

So let's see if this is linear. I'm going to see if we have the same rise/run ratio per pair of points as shown in the attachment:

These ratios are all the same -6/3 = -2/1 = -4/2 = -6/3 . These are all equal to -2.

So this is a line.

Linear equations in the form y=mx+b is called slope-intercept form where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We just found m to be -2.

So our equation is now in the form y=-2x+b.

We can find b, the y-intercept, by using a point on this line.  I like (4,2) from the table.

(x,y)=(4,2) with y=-2x+b will give us the information we need to find b.

2=-2(4)+b

2=-8+b

2+8=b

10=b

b=10

So the y-intercept is 10.

Firstly see what they are in mixed fraction form:

[tex]7 \frac{9}{7} = \frac{58}{7} [/tex]

therefore, 7 9/7 is equal to 58/7

[tex]8 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{58}{7} [/tex]

Answer:

(-1,-1)

The square needs to be all side with the same value when you graph the vertices on x-y plot, you obtain (x is the dot that correspond a vertice and y the forth vertice )

                            x       2 |                        x

                                      1 |

                                       |

                            y        -1|                       x

                                     -2 |

If you draw a line between vertices the value it will be 2 +  (-1) so the forth vertice has to be (-1,-1)

Answer:

rs 10.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest  = PRT/100     where P = sum invested, R = the rate per annum, T = the time in years.

14  weeks = 14/52 years so it is:

650* 6 * (14/52) / 100

= rs 10.5.

Answer:

10.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest (I) is calculated as

I = [tex]\frac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

where P is the principal ( amount deposited), R is the rate of interest and T the time in years.

note that 14 weeks = [tex]\frac{14}{52}[/tex] of a year, hence

I = [tex]\frac{650(6)}{100}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{14}{52}[/tex]

Answer:

The increase was exponential

After three months his expense was: $133.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase was exponential, because if we call x the initial price, then after the first month the new price p is:

[tex]p = x (1 + \frac{10\%}{100\%})\\\\p=x(1+0.1)[/tex]

After the second month, the new price is 10% of the price of the previous month, that is:

[tex]p = [x (1 + 0.1)](1 + 0.1)\\\\p = x (1 + 0.1) ^ 2[/tex]

After month n, the price is:

[tex]p = x (1 + 0.1) ^ n[/tex]

Note that the equation has the form of an exponential growth function, where x is the initial price and n is the number of months elapsed.

In this case [tex]x = 100[/tex] and [tex]n = 3[/tex]. So:

[tex]p = 100 (1 + 0.1) ^ 3\\\\p=\$133.1[/tex]

Answer:

answer is a,b

Step-by-step explanation:

I have answered ur question

The mid-point of AC is (a, b). So, option D is correct. In a rectangle, the two diagonals bisect each other at their mid-point.

The given rectangle is ABCD

Its vertices have coordinates as

A - (0, 0)

B - (0, 2a)

C - (2a, 2b)

D - (2a, 0)

The diagonals are AC and BD.

Finding their mid-points:

Mid-point of the diagonal AC = ((0 + 2a)/2 , (0 + 2b)/2)

⇒ (2a/2, 2b/2)

⇒ (a, b) ... (1)

Mid-point of the diagonal BD = ((0 + 2a)/2, (2a+0)/2)

⇒ (2a/2, 2b/2)

⇒ (a, b)  ...(2)

From (1) and (2), the midpoints of both the diagonals are equal. So, the diagonals of the rectangle ABCD bisect each other.

Hence, proved.

Therefore, the mid-point of the diagonal AC is (a, b).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two legs of the triangle is equivalent to the square of the  hypotenuse.

a²+b²=c²

a=10

b=?

c=26

Let us substitute with the values given in the question.

10²+b²=26²

100+b²=676

b²=676-100

b²=576

b=√576

=24

The other leg of the triangle is 24 units long.

Answer: option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. This is:

[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2[/tex]

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are legs of the triangle.

In this case you know that:

[tex]a=26\\b=10[/tex]

Then, you need  to substitute values into  [tex]a^2=b^2+c^2[/tex] and then solve for "c".

So, this is:

Final answer:

When a 5 feet long rope is divided into 9 equal pieces, each piece is approximately 0.56 feet long after performing the division and rounding to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

To find the length of each piece of rope when a 5 feet long rope is divided into 9 equal pieces, we need to divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces. This is a division problem in arithmetic.

Division: 5 feet ÷ 9 pieces = 0.5555... feet per piece.
Since we typically want to represent a length in a more practical way, we can round this number. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get approximately 0.56 feet for each piece of rope.

Final answer:

To determine the length of each rope piece when a 5-foot long rope is divided into 9 equal parts, divide the total length by the number of parts, resulting in pieces that are approximately 0.5556 feet long.

Explanation:

To find the length of each piece of rope when a 5-foot long rope is divided into 9 equal pieces, we need to divide the total length of the rope by the number of pieces. Therefore, we use the division:

Length of each piece = Total length of rope ÷ Number of pieces

Length of each piece = 5 feet ÷ 9

Upon doing the division, we find that the length of each piece is approximately 0.5556 feet.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The short answer is no. b stands for some number. Once that number is fixed, it does not change. So the equation would look something like

y = 2x + 6  Now if you look at that again, that 6 is fixed.

If you want to put something in for x like x = 5 you get

y = 2(5) + 6

y = 10 + 6

y = 16                   b = 6 did not change.

What does y = 2x equal

y = 2*5

y = 10

10 does not equal 16.

The only exception to what I've written is b = 0. Then both equations mean the same thing. But that is an exception.

The correct option is d. [tex]\((4, 0)\)[/tex]. The coordinates of point [tex]\(C\)[/tex] are [tex]\((4, 0)\)[/tex].

To find the coordinates of point [tex]\(C\)[/tex] that partitions the segment [tex]\(AB\)[/tex] in the ratio [tex]\(AC:CB = 2:1\)[/tex], we use the section formula. Given points [tex]\(A(x_1, y_1)\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B(x_2, y_2)\)[/tex] with a ratio [tex]\(m:n\)[/tex], the coordinates [tex]\((x, y)\)[/tex] of the point dividing the segment in the ratio [tex]\(m:n\)[/tex] are given by:

Answer:

Third choice

Step-by-step explanation:

They are asking us to find the inverse of y=5x. To do this you just switch x and y and then remake y the subject of the equation (solve for y.)

y=5x

x=5y (I switch x and y)

x/5=y ( I divided both sides by 5)

Then you just replace y with the f^-1(x) thing

f^-1(x)=x/5

or

f^-1(x)=1/5x

If f(x) = 5x, then the inverse of the function, f⁻¹(x) is x/5.

Given that :

f(x) = 5x

Let y = f(x).

So, y = 5x

Now, interchange the values for x and y.

Then,

x = 5y

Now, solve for y.

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

x/5 = y

So, the inverse of the function is x/5.

Hence f⁻¹(x) = x/5.

By using the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find the total number of pet store customers who owned either a mouse or a parrot, we calculated that 54 customers owned at least one of the pets, taking into account that 14 customers owned both.

To determine the total number of store customers who owned either a mouse or a parrot, we need to apply the principle of inclusion-exclusion. This principle allows us to find the union of two sets without counting elements (customers) that are common to both sets more than once. The formula is ∑(A ∪ B) = ∑(A) + ∑(B) - ∑(A ∩ B), where ∑ denotes the number of elements in a set, A represents the group of mouse owners, B represents the group of parrot owners, and A ∩ B represents the group that owns both mice and parrots.

Applying this to our situation:

Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion:

∑(A ∪ B) = 36 + 32 - 14 = 54

This means that 54 customers owned either a mouse or a parrot or both.

We are given with an equation of a parabola [tex]y=x^2-6x+4[/tex]

Let is convert it into standard form of a parabola

[tex]y=x^2-6x+4[/tex]

adding and subtracting 9 in the right hand side of the =

[tex]y=x^2-6x+9-9+4[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2-2\times 3\times x+ 3^2-9+4[/tex]

the first three terms of the right hand side forms the expression of square of difference

[tex]a^2-2 \times a \times b+b^2 = (a-b)^2[/tex]

Hence

[tex]y=(x-3)^2-5[/tex]

adding 5 on both sides we get

[tex](y+5)=(x-3)^2[/tex]

Comparing it with the standard equation of a parabola

[tex]X^2=4\times \frac{1}{4} \times Y[/tex]

where [tex]X=x-3[/tex] and [tex]Y=y+5[/tex]

The vertex of [tex]X^2=4\times \frac{1}{4} \times Y[/tex] will be (0,0)
