Hello! I can help you with this!

a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.

b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.

Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the probability of each condition first.

For P(4), there is only one option: 4. This is 1 out of 5.

For P(even), this includes 4 and 6. However, we already had 4 from our last condition so we can remove this option. This is again 1 out of 5.

Adding them together, we will get 2/5.

The answer is 2/5

A spinner numbered 1 through 5 is spun 3 times. what is the probability of spinning a number less than 3 each time? are these ev
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Prob(spinning a number < 3on 1 spin)  = Prob( spinning 1 or 2) = 2/5

Prob( spinning <3 3 times) =  2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5  = 8/125

These events are independent so we multiply the probabilities.

The equation of line WX is y = -2x -5. Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that contain
IRINA_888 [86]
Y = -2x - 5.....slope here is -2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we will need is : 1/2. See how I flipped the slope of -2/1 and changed it to -1/2.....now I change the sign making our new slope be 1/2.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/2
(-1,-2).....x = -1 and y = -2
now sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 1/2(-1) + b
-2 = -1/2 + b
-2 + 1/2 = b
-4/2 + 1/2 = b
-3/2 = b

so ur perpendicular line is : y = 1/2x - 3/2
