Based from the graph, I think the answer is D. a piece-wise function with separate pieces of linear and step-functions. This is because as you can see from the graph, for intervals [0,1], [5,6], and [10,11] the function is linear. On the other hand, for the remaining intervals, it has a constant value which can be described as a step function.

What does y equal for the equation <br> 6y-10=y+25
SVEN [57.7K]
6y-10=y+25
subtract y from both sides
5y-10=25
add 10 to both sides
5y=35
divide both sides by 5
y=7

Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago. Simple interest was paid on the account. He has just withdrawn $2,876. What
RSB [31]

Answer: 8.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

I=Prt, where P is the principal amount, r is rate of interest () in decimal and t is the time ( in years).   (1)

Given : Justin deposited $2,000 into an account 5 years ago.

i.e. P = $2,000 ,  t= 5 years

He has just withdrawn $2,876. i.e. Future value = $2,876

Interest (I)=$2,876-$2,000=$876  [Subtract Principal value from Future value]

Substitute all the above values of P , t , and I in the formula (1) , we get

876 =(2000)r(5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{876 }{2000\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{876}{10000}=0.0876

In percent , r=0.0876\times100=8.76\%

Hence, the rate of interest = 8.76%

What is 5% of $30,000
ValentinkaMS [17]
30000= 100%
x=5%
30000/x=100/5
<span>(30000/x)*x=(100/5)*x
</span>30000=20*x
30000/20=x
x=1500 
5%of 30000 is 1500

 The weight W of an object varies inversely as the square of the distance d from the center of the earth. At sea level​ (3978 mi
eimsori [14]
\bf \begin{array}{llllll}&#10;\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\&#10;\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\&#10;y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}&#10;\\&#10;&&y=\cfrac{{{  k}}}{x}&#10;\end{array}

with "k" being the "constant of variation"

so. hmm in this case is "w" inversely varying to the square of the distance or d²

thus   \bf w=\cfrac{k}{d^2}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;d=3978\\&#10;w=129&#10;\end{cases}\implies 129=\cfrac{k}{3978^2}

solve for "k", to see what the constant of variation is

and plug it back in \bf w=\cfrac{k}{d^2}

now.. .to find her weight when she's 144miles above the surface, well
that's just \bf w=\cfrac{k}{(3978+144)^2}

and since you already know what "k" is, just divide and simplify away, to get "w"
