An algebra book weighs 6 oz less

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Algebra book weighs 24 oz

Grammar book weighs 15 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

algebra = x and grammar = y

x = 2y-6

5x = 8y

5(2y-6) = 8y

10y - 30 = 8y

2y - 30 = 0

2y = 30

y = 15

x = 2(15)-6

x = 30-6

x = 24

When the effective interest rate is 9% per annum, what is the present value of a series of 50 annual payments that start at $100

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$1,109.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first compute the <em>future value FV.</em>

In order to see the rule of formation, let's see the value (in $) for the first few years

<u>End of year 0</u>

1,000

<u>End of year 1(capital + interest + new deposit)</u>

1,000*(1.09)+10

<u>End of year 2 (capital + interest + new deposit)</u>

(1,000*(1.09)+10)*1.09 +10 =

$\bf 1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09)$

<u>End of year 3 (capital + interest + new deposit)</u>

$\bf (1,000*(1.09)^2+10(1+1.09))(1.09)+10=\\1,000*(1.09)^3+10(1+1.09+1.09^2)$

and we can see that at the end of year 50, the future value is

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10(1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

The sum

$\bf 1+1.09+(1.09)^2+...+(1.09)^{49}$

is the <em>sum of a geometric sequence </em>with common ratio 1.09 and is equal to

$\bf \frac{(1.09)^{50}-1}{1.09-1}=815.08356$

and the future value is then

$\bf FV=1,000*(1.09)^{50}+10*815.08356=82,508.35564$

The <em>present value PV</em> is

$\bf PV=\frac{FV}{(1.09)^{50}}=\frac{82508.35564}{74.35572}=1,109.616829\approx \$1,109.62$

rounded to the nearest hundredth.

A rubber ball is filmed as it bounces on a sidewalk at 25 frames every second. Predict how many seconds of film will be shown in

ANEK [815]

If for one second we have to reserve 25 frames to find length of the movie we have to divide 1750 by 25, so
1750:25=70 [seconds] - its the result

To better understand lets think that u have 8 piece of cake and u want to give every person 2 piece. To find how many person u can invite u can divide 8 by 2. The answer is 4 here ofc.

a line with slope 3 passes through point (0,10). What is the y-coordinate of the point on the line with x-coordinate 2

skad [1K]

The y-coordinate is 16

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a line with slope 3 passes through point (0, 10)

To find the y-coordinate of the point on the line with x-coordinate 2

Which means the point is (2, y)

Let us find the required y co-ordinate using slope formula

<em><u>The slope of line is given as:</u></em>

For a line containing points $(x_1 , y_1)$ and $(x_2 , y_2)$ is given as:

$\text {slope}=m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$\text {Here } x_{1}=0 ; y_{1}=10 ; x_{2}=2 ; y_{2}=y$

Given that slope "m" = 3

Substituting the values we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{3=\frac{y-10}{2-0}} \\\\ {3=\frac{y-10}{2}} \\\\ {6=y-10} \\\\ {y=10+6=16}\end{array}$

Thus the y-coordinate is 16

Subtract (5x+3)-(x+2)

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C. 4x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x+3)-(x+2) First remove the parentheses. Remember to distribute the negative over the second one:

= 5x + 3 - x - 2 Bring like terms together:

= 5x - x + 3 - 2 Simplify like terms:

= 4x +1.
