You have the following equation:

|n| = 8 the two vertical bras | | means absolute value of variable n

when you have an equation with an absolute value you consider that n could be negative or positive, because the absolute value of a number always results in a positive number. Then, n can be 8 or -8, because |-8| = |8| = 8. Hence, you have

n = ±8

Three times the sum of a number and seven is negative thirty-six. What is the number?

Katarina [22]

Answer:

n =-19

Step-by-step explanation:

3* (n+7) = -36

Distribute

3n+21 = -36

Subtract 21 from each side

3n+21-21 = -36-21

3n = -57

Divide by 3

3n/3 = -57/3

n =-19

There are 4 consecutive odd integers that sum to 120.

allsm [11]

Answer:

27, 29, 31, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smallest odd integer then...

x+2 represents the second

x+4 represents the third

x+6 represents the fourth

We can use this to set up an equation:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6=120

Combine like terms

4x+12=120

Subtract 12 from both sides

4x=108

Divide both sides by 2

x=27

The integers are 27, 29, 31, 33

An investment made in the stock market decreased at a rate of 2.2% per year for 10 years. What is the current value of

never [62]

Answer:

$800,500 (nearest dollar)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario can be modeled as an exponential equation.

General form of an exponential function:

$f(x)=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

The initial value (a) is the value of the investment.

Therefore, a = 1,000,000.

If the investment decreases by 2.2% each year, then it will be 97.8% of the previous year.

Therefore, b = 97.8% = 0.978.

Substitute these values into the formula to create a general equation for the scenario:

$f(x)=1000000(0.978)^x$

(where x is the time, in years).

To find the value of the investment after 10 years, substitute x = 10 into the formula:

$\implies f(10)=1000000(0.978)^{10}=800500.1586$

Therefore, the value of the investment after 10 years is $800,500 (nearest dollar).
