Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -0.25x + 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you can simplify the equation of the line it's perpendicular to (2y = 8x - 6) by dividing both sides by 2. This means you would get y = 4x - 3. From that you can conclude that the slope of that line is 4.
Lines always have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line they are perpendicular to, so you know the slope of the line is going to be -1/4.
So far, you have the equation y = -1/4x + b and you have to find b.
You can substitute in the point (-3, 3) so you would have 3= -1/4 * -3 + b
Solving,
3 = 3/4 + b
b = 2 and 1/4
Therefore the equation is y = -1/4x + 2 1/4 or y = -0.25x + 2.25
Answer:
x = 12.29
Step-by-step explanation:
present value of the claim = x² / (1 + 2%)¹⁵ = 0.743x²
present value of the 10 premiums:
x + x/1.02 + x/1.02² + x/1.02³ + x/1.02⁴ + x/1.02⁵ + x/1.02⁶ + x/1.02⁷ + x/1.02⁸ + x/1.02⁹ = x + 0.9504x + 0.9612x + 0.9423x + 0.9238x + 0.9057x + 0.888x + 0.8706x + 0.8535x + 0.8368x = 9.1323x
0.743x² = 9.1323x
x² / x = 9.1323 / 0.743
x = 12.29
She should check her actual quotient again, carefully. Something is
definitely wrong. The spread between her estimate and the actual
quotient is too much. She probably made a mistake with (at least)
one of them.
Since the estimate was just for her own convenience and the actual
quotient was the one that really counts, she should go straight to the
actual quotient and look there for a mistake first.
