For the points you've given, the correct answer is not listed! One way to solve the problem is just to use a graph -- the points are not far away from the origin, and they have whole number coordinates. (See graph.)

Slopt = "rise" / "run" so to get from (2, 2) to (4, 3), you "rise" +1 and "run" +2. The slope is 1/2.

If the points are (2, 2) and (4, 3), then the slope would be 2.

You can always use a formula to find the slope:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ which tells the slope of a line joining points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ .

The formula says

Slope = (second y minus first y) / (second x minus first x)

It always works unless $x_1=x_2$ , in which case the line is vertical and has NO defined slope.

The spoilage rate on a shipment of wheat is expected to be 20%. It was purchased at a cost of $5.35 per bushel. What should the

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$7.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let wheat shipment be x bushels

Per bushel cost = 5.35

So x bushels cost = 5.35x

Achieving markup of 6% means 1.06 * 5.35x =5.671x

20% spoiled means 80% of x stays, so 0.8x will need to be sold at 5.671x

Selling price should be 5.671x/0.8x = $7.09

So that's 7 dollars and 9 cents

Answer:

The following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

$1) \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2}\\\\2) \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(k+6)(k+7)}$

Solve point 1 that is $\sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2}\\\\$ :

when,

$k= 1 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{1+1} - \frac{1}{1+2}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\\\\$

$k= 2 \to s_2 = \frac{1}{2+1} - \frac{1}{2+2}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

$k= 3 \to s_3 = \frac{1}{3+1} - \frac{1}{3+2}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5}\\\\$

$k= n^ \to s_n = \frac{1}{n+1} - \frac{1}{n+2}\\\\$

Calculate the sum $(S=s_1+s_2+s_3+......+s_n)$

$S=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+.....\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\\\\$

$=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\\\\$

When $s_n \ \ dt_{n \to 0}$

$=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{0+1}-\frac{1}{0+2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\\\\= 1 -\frac{1}{5}\\\\= \frac{5-1}{5}\\\\= \frac{4}{5}\\\\$

$\boxed{\text{In point 1:} \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{k+1} - \frac{1}{k+2} =\frac{4}{5}}$

In point 2: $\sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(k+6)(k+7)}$

when,

$k= 1 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{(1+6)(1+7)}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{7 \times 8}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}$

$k= 2 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{(2+6)(2+7)}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{8 \times 9}\\\\= \frac{1}{72}$

$k= 3 \to s_1 = \frac{1}{(3+6)(3+7)}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{9 \times 10} \\\\ = \frac{1}{90}\\\\$

$k= n^ \to s_n = \frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)}\\\\$

calculate the sum: $S= s_1+s_2+s_3+s_n\\$

$S= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)}\\\\$

when $s_n \ \ dt_{n \to 0}$

$S= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{(0+6)(0+7)}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}....+\frac{1}{6 \times 7}\\\\= \frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}+\frac{1}{42}\\\\=\frac{45+35+28+60}{2520}\\\\=\frac{168}{2520}\\\\=0.066$

$\boxed{\text{In point 2:} \sum ^{\infty}_{k = 1} \frac{1}{(n+6)(n+7)} = 0.066}$

Answer is B because what it is asking you to do is which ones are about 50% so you add the percents from the answers together and the one that isn't close to 50% Is the answer this is B because
32+29+13=74 this is the only one that is way to big if you add the others they are approximately 50%
