6 0

\textbf{Answer:}

\frac{-1}{4}

\textbf{Step-by-step explanation:}

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

\textrm{Use the formula above to determine the rate of change}

\frac{1 - 2}{4 - 0} \rightarrow\frac{-1}{4}

\textrm{The rate of change of this line is } \frac{-1}{4}

recall that all we need is two points off a straight line to get its slope, so... hmmm this one passes through (0 , 2) and (4 , 1), so let's use those

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-2}{4-0}\implies -\cfrac{1}{4}

Find the determinant of the following matrix.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given matrix is.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]

the determinant of the above matrix is.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=2\times (-4) - (-3)\times 1

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-8 - (-3)

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-8 +3

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&-3\\1&-4\end{array}\right]=-5

Therefore, the determinant of the matrix is -5

Suppose you have $5000 to invest. A certificate of deposit (CD) earns 6% annual interest, while bonds, which are more risky, ear
sergij07 [2.7K]
If you have $5000 and you invest $2000 in a certificate of deposit, you have $3000 invested in the bonds. Each earns an annual interest of 6% and 8%, respectively. The total interest is shown below,
                            ($2000) x 0.06 + ($3000) x 0.08 = $360
Thus, the amount of the total interest is $360.

What is the rate of decay in the following function?<br><br> f(x)=3(67)^x
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Suppose N is the size of a population of radioactive atoms at a given time t, and dN is the amount by which the population decreases in time dt; then the rate of change is given by the equation dN/dt = −λN, where λ is the decay constant.

Which of the following could be the system of nonlinear inequalities graphed below?
Ivan

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The equation of the solid line is

y=5

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line

so

The equation of the first inequality is

y\geq 5

step 2

The equation of the dashed line is

y=x^{2} -5x+6

The solution is the shaded area above the dashed line

so

The equation of the second inequality is

y>x^{2} -5x+6

therefore

The system of inequalities could be

y\geq 5

y>x^{2} -5x+6

A firm producing socks has a fixed cost of $20,000 and variable cost of $2 per pair of socks. Let x = the number of pairs of soc
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

break even point = 8000 socks produced or $36000 in costs

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost function of the firm is

total cost = fixed cost + variable cost = $20000 + $2*Q

where Q= number of socks

the revenue from sales is

sales = Price* Q = $4.50*Q

the break even point is reached when the net profit is = 0 ( that is, the total cost is equal to the revenue from sales) , then

total cost = sales

$20000 + $2*Q =$4.50*Q

Q= $20000/($4.50-$2) = 8000 socks

that represents

total cost = $20000 + $2*8000  = $36000

then

break even point = 8000 socks produced or $36000 in costs
