Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m = $\frac{5-2}{1+3}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (1, 5 ), then

5 = $\frac{3}{4}$ + c ⇒ c = 5 - $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{17}{4}$

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$ ← in slope-intercept form

Megan received a $208,000 inheritance after taxes from her parents. She invested it at 8% interest compounded quarterly for 5 ye

Nookie1986 [14]

Use the compound interest formula.
A = P*(1 +r/n)^(n*t)
where P is the principal, r is the annual rate, n is the number of compoundings per year, and t is the number of years.

For the first investment, ...
A = 208,000*(1 +.08/4)^(4*5) = 309,077.06

For the second investment, ...
A = 218,000*(1 +.07/2)^(2*4) = 287,064.37

Totaling both investments at maturity, Megan has $596,141.43.

(a) Use the definition to find an expression for the area under the curve y = x3 from 0 to 1 as a limit. lim n→∞ n i = 1 Correct

Luba_88 [7]

Splitting up the interval of integration into $n$ subintervals gives the partition

$\left[0,\dfrac1n\right],\left[\dfrac1n,\dfrac2n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{n-1}n,1\right]$

Each subinterval has length $\dfrac{1-0}n=\dfrac1n$ . The right endpoints of each subinterval follow the sequence

$r_i=\dfrac in$

with $i=1,2,3,\ldots,n$ . Then the left-endpoint Riemann sum that approximates the definite integral is

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{{r_i}^3}n$

and taking the limit as $n\to\infty$ gives the area exactly. We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac in\right)^3=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4n^3}=\boxed{\frac14}$
