Answer:

Because a vertical line has an undefined slope. If you were to use rise over run you get any number over 0 (ex. 7/0). You cannot divide any number by zero which means you will get an undefined answer.

Sweety’s mother is 12 years more than twice Sweety’s age. After 8 years, she will be 20 years less than three times Sweety’s age
poizon [28]

Answer:

Sweety's age = 16 years and  Sweety’s mother’s age = 44 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sweety's age is x.

Sweety’s mother age = 12+2x

After 8 years,

Sweety's age = x+8

Sweety’s mother age = 12+2x+8

Since Mother's age will be 20 years less than three times my age.

2x+20 = 3(x+8)-20

2x+20=3x+24-20

2x+20=3x+4

Taking like terms together,

20-4=3x-2x

x = 16

Sweety's age = 16 years

Sweety’s mother’s age = 12+2x

= 12+2(16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 years

Hence, Sweety’s age and Sweety’s mother’s age is 16 years and 44 years respectively.

Find the annual percentage yield (APY) in the following situation,
netineya [11]

Answer:

3.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

An interest-bearing account paying a stated nominal or annual interest rate of 3.880% compounded monthly, would translate to an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) or Effective Annual Rate (EAR) of 3.95%. This means that $100.00 will grow to $103.95 ($103.95 rounded) after one year.
