Given Data:

Time is taken = 24 seconds (to pass the pole)

Length of the train = 240 m

To Find:

Time to pass a 650m long platform =?

Solution:

The total distance traveled by train to cross a pole is equal to the length of the train; 240 m.

Distance = 240 m (in case of a pole)

Speed = distance/ time

Speed = 240 m/ 24 seconds

Speed = 10 m/s

So, the speed our train is traveling is 10 m/s.

Now, the time taken by the same train to cross a platform of 650 m can be calculated as,

Total distance = 650 m (platform length) + 240 m (train length)

Total distance = 890 m

Speed = distance/ time

Time = distance/ speed

Time = 890 m / 10m/s

Time = 89 seconds.

So, the time that it will take a train with a speed of 10 m/s and 240 m long to cross a plate form of 650 m is 89 seconds.

Using a savings amount of $450, assume you deposited the total amount

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the simple interest to get the rate of return;

Simple Interest = Principal * Rate * Time/100

Given Principal = $450,

Time (in years) = 1 year

Simple interest = $32.75

Rate (in %) =?

Substituting the given values in the given formula to get the rate;

32.75 = 450*1*R/100

450R = 3275

R = 3,275/450

R = 7.3%

The rate of return is 7.3%

In 2 years, you want to have $5000 in your savings account. Find the amount you should deposit if the account pays 3% annual int

muminat

The amount you should deposit is $4709.18

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest, including principal sum is

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where:

A is the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P is the principal investment amount
r is the annual interest rate in decimal
n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t
t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for

∵ You want to have $5000 in your savings account in 2 years

∴ A = 5000

∴ t = 2

∵ The account pays 3% annual interest, compounded monthly

∴ r = 3% = 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03

∴ n = 12 ⇒ compounded monthly

- Substitute these values in the formula above

∴ $5000=P(1+\frac{0.03}{12})^{(12)(2)}$

∴ $5000=P(1+0.0025)^{24}$

∴ $5000=P(1.0025)^{24}$

- Divide both sides by $(1.0025)^{24}$

∴ P = 4709.18

The amount you should deposit is $4709.18

Question:

Solution:

Let the function

$y=f(x)\text{ = }\sqrt[]{x}-9$

Now remember the following rule:

To graph y = f(cx)

if 0 < c < 1 , stretch the graph of y = f(x) horizontally by a factor of 1/c.

Thus, applying this to the given function, with c = 3, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

$y=f(x)\text{ = }\sqrt[]{\frac{1}{3}x}-9$
