The two positive numbers whose difference is 9 and whose product is 2950 are 50 and 59

<h3>How to determine the positive numbers?</h3>

As a general rule, it should be noted that positive numbers are numbers that have their value greater than 0

So, we start by representing the two positive numbers with x and y.

So, we have the following equations

x - y = 9

xy = 2950

Make x the subject in the first equation x - y = 9

x = y + 9

Substitute y + 9 for x in the second equation

(y + 9) * y = 2950

Expand the equation

y^2 + 9y - 2950 = 0

Using a graphing tool, we  have the solution of the above equation to be

y = 50

Recall that:

x = 9 + y

So, we have:

x = 9 + 50

Evaluate

x = 59

Hence, the two positive numbers whose difference is 9 and whose product is 2950 are 50 and 59

A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y=-3x - 3. A
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure form of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite-signed, reciprocal of the original line's slope. Therefore, if the slope of the original line is m = -3, the new slope is m = 1/3.

The y-intercept can be found by plugging the new slope and the values from the point (-3, 6) into the slope-intercept form equation.

m = 1/3

x = -3

y = 6

y = mx + b                                  <----- Slope-intercept form

6 = (-3)(1/3) + b                           <----- Insert values

6 = -1 + b                                    <----- Multiply -3 and 1/3

7 = b                                           <----- Add 1 to both sides

Now, that you have the slope and y-intercept, you can construct the equation of the perpendicular line.

y = (1/3)x + 7

Find the savings plan balance after 2 years with an APR of 4% and monthly payments of $250. The balance is $ (Do not round until
alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6,506.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that increasing an amount C in x% is equivalent to multiply it by (1+x/100)

As we have 4% APR, the monthly interest would be (4/12)% = 0.04/12

<u>Month 0</u> (first payment)

$250

Month 1

250 + 250 \frac{0.04}{12}= 250(\frac{12.04}{12})

<u>Month 2</u>

250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2)

<u>Month 3</u>

250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3)

<u>Month 24 (2 years)</u>

250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24})

The sum  

1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24}

is the sum of the first 24 terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio \frac{12.04}{12} which is

\frac{1-(12.04/12)^{25}}{1-(12.04/12)}=26.02603071

so, after 2 years the saving balance is

250*26.02603071 = 6,506.50767= $6,506.51 rounded to the nearest cent.
