Answer: 10.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The current salary is $42k per year

the college degree cost  $28k per year, and with the degree he can win $56k per year, and here we also can consider that he "loses" the $42k tat he would have earned if he keeped working.

Then, the amount of money per year is:

m1(y) = $42k*y

m2(y) = -2*$42k - 2*$28k + $56k*y

where y is the number of years after he gets his degree,

Now, we must find the value of y where those equations are equal:

$42k*y = -2*$42k - 2*$28k + $56k*y = -2*($28k + $42k) + $56k*y

($42k - $56k)*y = -2*$60k = -$120k

y = 120k/14k = 8.6 years

but remember that we coun y after he gets his degree, which takes 2 years, so the actual number of years that he needs to recover his inversion is (8.6 +2) years = 10.6 years

#16 and #19 only <br> Please answer both as soon as possible.

Answer:

1. it is not a direct variation because the value <em>k</em> is not kept throughout the ordered pairs

2. -a^5 - 2a³ + 2a², leading coefficient is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. to find the direct variation, we will use y/x = k with k representing our constant throughout the chart. if every value is equal to k, it is a direct variation

for this problem we will assume that the cup sizes are x and the cost is y

so the ordered pairs are (8, 0.90), (12, 1.35), (16, 1.80), and (24, 2.25)

.90/8 = 0.1125 <-- this is our <em>k</em> value for which every result has to be equal to

1.35/12 = 0.1125

1.80/12 = 0.1125

2.25/24 = 0.09375

since the value <em>k</em> was not kept throughout the ordered pairs, this is not a direct variation

2. the standard form of a polynomial is the exponents in descending order.

we have the following polynomial: 2a² - a^5 -2a³

to write it in standard form, we will go in descending order of the exponents. the largest exponent being first

-a^5 - 2a³ + 2a²

the leading coefficient of the polynomial is -1, as there is a negative sign in front of the newly formed polynomial

A) A pack of 8 batteries cost £3.99 how much dose each battery cost? ( give your answer in penny ?) ____________________________
just olya [345]

Answer:

A). 50 penny

B) This type of battery is cost effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A pack of 8 batteries cost 3.99 pounds so one battery will cost = 3.99/8 = 0.499 pound

Since 1 pound = 100 penny

So 0.499 pound = 100×0.499 = 50 penny

B). A pack of 6 batteries of the same type costs 2.79 pounds

So one battery will cost = 2.79/6 = 0.465 pound  or 47 penny

Now we say that type A batteries are costlier than B. Therefore B type batteries are of a better value.

Jacie can swim 3/4 of a mile in 3/8 of an hour.how far can she swim in one hour?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 3/4 into 6/8. With this you have a ratio of 6/8 miles to 3/8 hours. Meaning 2/8 mile is equal to 1/8 of an hour. With this you can find that Jacie can swim 2 miles in a hour
