Answer:

25 minutes 42 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The tub will fill at the rate of ...

 2.25 gal/min - 0.50 gal/min = 1.75 gal/min

It will take ...

 45 gal/(1.75 gal/min) ≈ 25.714 min

for the tub to fill.

You can shower for about 25 minutes 42 seconds.

Hannah invested $4000 in a savings account that that earned 2% interest compounded quarterly. she determined that if she does no
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Her account balance after 3 years is $4,246.71

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating what Hannah's account balance will be after 3 years and the error she made in her calculations

Mathematically, to calculate the account balance after 3 years, we use the formula for the compound interest as follows.

Mathematically, the amount A earned on a compound interest is calculated as

A = P(1+r/n)^{nt}

where A is the account balance after the number of years which is what we want to know

P is the initial amount invested which is $4000

r is the interest rate which is 2%(2/100 = 0.02) according to the question

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year which is 4(quarterly means every 3 months)

t is the number of years which is 3

We plug the values into the question;

A = 4000(1 + 0.02/4)^(3)(4)

A = 4000(1+0.005)^12

A = 4000(1.005)^12

A = $4,246.71

P.S ; I do not see Hannah's calculation and as such I cannot spot where she made the error in her calculations

write the slope intercept equation. the graph of f passes through (-6,4) and is perpendicular to the line that has an x-intercep
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line that has an x intercept of (2,0) and y-intercept of (0,-6) is:

Slope(s) = Change in y ÷ change in x

s = \frac{0 - -6}{2 - 0} = 3

The slope of the perpendicular line to this line with slope of 3 has to have a slope of -1 ÷ 3 = -\frac{1}{3}

Reason: The product of slopes of lines perpendicular to each other have to be -1

So the slope of the perpendicular line that passes through (-6,4) is -\frac{1}{3}

As mentioned earlier, we derive a slope of a line by dividing the change in y by the change in x

Taking another point (x,y) on the line,

-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{y - 4}{x - -6}

-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{y - 4}{x + 6}

y - 4 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 2

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2

4x-2y=12<br> -4x-9=54<br><br> How can you order a ladder?
blagie [28]
Equations:

4x - 2y = 12
-4x - 9y = 54

Multiple them in both sides

4x - 2y - 4x - 9y = 12 + 54
-2y - 9y = 66
-11y = 66
y= -6

If y= -6 then put y in first or second equation.

I put it in first equation

4x - 2.(-6) = 12
4x + 12 = 12
x= 0

Therefore

(x,y) = (0, -6)
