Answer:

When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side! This is why you must flip the sign whenever you multiply by a negative number.

A three-bedroom house in North Augusta sold for $190,000. If housing prices are expected to increase 1.8% annually in that town,

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

we know that the initial price of the house is $190,000.

We also know that the expected increase is 1.8%, this means that the year zero we have no increase; the price is $190,000.

one year after we have an increase of the 1.8% (or 0.018 in decimal form), this means that the new price is:

$190,000 + $190,000*0.018 = $190,000*(1.018)

another year after, we have:

$190,000*(1.018)*(1.018) = $190,000*(1.018)^2

and etc

The function that models the price as a function of the years, represented as y, is:

P(y) = $190,000*(1.018)^y

If we want to know the price in 5 years, we need to replace y = 5 in the equation:

p(5) = $190,000*(1.018)^5 = $207,726.80

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the image point of (-6, 9) after a translation left 4 uints and down 1 unit?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

(-10,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

So our original point is (-6,9).

A translation of 4 units to the left means that the x-value would go left by 4. In other words, we subtract 4 to -6. We subtract because going to the left means that it's going to the negative direction.

A translation of down 1 unit means that the y-value would go down by 1. In other words, we subtract 1. Again, we subtract because going downwards means that it's going to the negative direction.

Therefore, the new point would be:

$(-6-4,9-1)\\=(-10,8)$
