7 0

Ms. Drake will earn $\$ 170$ in this time from the investment of $\$ 1000$ at a simple interest with rate of interest $8.5\%$

<h3>What is the definition of simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest is a way to figure out how much interest will be charged on a sum of money at a specific rate and for a specific duration of time. Conversely, for compound interest, where we add the interest of one year's principal to the next year's principal to compute interest, the principal amount under simple interest remains constant.

Formula for finding simple interest is $\frac{principal \times rate \ of \ interest \times time}{100}$

Given principal of Ms. Drake is $\$1000$

Rate of interest is $8.5 \%$

Time is $2$ years.

Interest $=\frac{1000 \times 8.5 \times 2}{100}$

$=\frac{17000}{100}\\=170$

Therefore, Ms. Drake will earn $\$ 170$ in this time.

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through points (-1, 2) and (5, 2)? y - 2 = 0 x - 2 = 0 y - x - 2 =

enot [183]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-1, 2) and (5, 2). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{2-2}{5-(-1)}=\dfrac{0}{6}=0\\\\y-2=0(x-(-1))\\\\y-2=0$

<h3>Answer: y - 2 = 0.</h3>

Levart [38]

Answer:

A relation is a subset of cartesian product of two non empty sets whereas A function is a type of relation in which every element of first set has one and only image in the second set.

In a relation an element of the first set can have many images in the second set whereas in a function the first element can have only one image in the second set.

The given relation is not a function as the element 1 is related to 3 different elements in the second set.

A candidate took a phone poll of 110 people. Of the 110 people polled, 87 said they would vote for the other person. There are 9

SSSSS [86.1K]

Option B

7569 number of people are going to vote for the other candidate

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that candidate took a phone poll of 110 people

Of the 110 people polled, 87 said they would vote for the other person

There are 9570 people in the district

You can set up this problem like a proportion

Let "x" be the number of people who would vote for the other candidate

$\frac{87}{110} = \frac{x}{9570}$

To solve proportions, you cross-multiply. This means you multiply the numerator by the other denominator, and the denominator by the other numerator

$87 \times 9570 = 110 \times x$

832590 = 110x

x = 7569

Thus 7569 number of people are going to vote for the other candidate
