Ways to divide it into period of seconds
What this question implies is to determine the total number of factors of 86400
To start with, we determine the prime factorization of 86400
To do this, we continually divide 86400 by 2; when it can not be further divided, we divide by 3, then 7, then 11...












This implies that:

The number of factors d is the solved by:

Where

By comparison:



So:



<em>Hence, there are 96 total ways</em>
Answer:
$1.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of the pencil
Let x + .80 = the cost of the pen
Let 4(x + .80) = the cost of the binder
x + x + .80 + 4(x + .80) = 11.80
2x + .80 + 4x + 3.20 = 11.80
6x + 4.00 = 11.80
6x = 7.80
x = $1.30
x + .80 = $2.10
4(x + .80) = $8.40
Using slope-intercept form, y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept:
We know our slope is -6. This can be interpreted as -6/1, which rise-over-run-wise, means that when y changes by 6, x changes inversely by 1.
To find that y-intercept, though, we need to find the value of y when x = 0.
Use our point (-9, -3) to find this...
We want to add 9 to x so that it becomes 0.
According to our slope, this means subtracting 54 from y.
Our y-intercept is at (0, -57), with -57 being the value of b we put in our equation.

You could also just use point-slope form:
y - y¹ = m(x - x¹)
y - (-3) = -6(x - (-9))
y + 3 = -6(x + 9)
And convert to slope-intercept if you want:
y + 3 = -6x - 54
y = -6x - 57
Sorry that is not a linear model. There is not a constant rate of change. Are you sure you copied it correctly
