True because if the country's GDP was less than 100%, it would be losing money instead of making money.

Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it is given that the dept to GDP ratio is 142%. This mean that

$\frac{Dept}{GDP} = \frac{142}{100}$

this can be interpreted as when GDP is 100, the dept on the nation is 142. Clearly, dept is more than the GDP of the country. This means that the country is borrowing more than it is producing. Hence, the given statement is true

Write the equation in slope-intercept form through the point (-4, -7) and is perpendicular to the line y = -(7/4)x + 4 and graph

Scilla [17]

You have to write the equation for a line that crosses the point (-4, -7) and is perpendicular to the line

$y=-\frac{7}{4}x+4$

When you have to determine a line that is perpendicular to a known line, you have to keep in mind that the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the first one.

If for exampla you have two lines, the first one being:

$y_1=mx+b$

And the second one, that is perpedicular to the one above:

$y_2=nx+c$

The slope of the second one is the negative inverse of the first one:

$n=-\frac{1}{m}$

The slope of the given line y=-7/4+4 is m=-7/4

So the slope of the perpendicular line has to ve the inverse negative of -7/4

$\begin{gathered} n=-(-\frac{4}{7}) \\ n=\frac{4}{7} \end{gathered}$

Considering it has to pass through the point (-4,-7) and that we already determined its slope, you can unse the point slope formula to determine the equation of the perpendicular line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

replace with the coordinates of the point and the slope and calculate:

$\begin{gathered} y-(-7)=\frac{4}{7}(x-(-4)) \\ y+7=\frac{4}{7}(x+4) \\ y+7=\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{16}{7} \end{gathered}$

Subtract 7 to both sides of the equation to write it in slope-intercept form:

$\begin{gathered} y+7-7=\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{16}{7}-7 \\ y=\frac{4}{7}x-\frac{33}{7} \end{gathered}$

Now you can graph both lines

Using this formula, what is the acceleration of an object with F = 7.92 newtons and m = 3.6 kilograms? Express your answer to th

g100num [7]

We have to use the following formula which is

$F = m * a$

Given values of F and m are 7.92 Newtons and 3.6 kilograms .

Substituting these values in the formula, we will get

$7.92 = 3.6 a$

To solve for a, we have to divide both sides by 3.6 that is

$a = \frac{7.92}{3.6}=2.2$

And that's the required answer .

A computer online service charges one hourly rate for regular use but a higher hourly rate for designated "premium" areas. One c

N76 [4]

Answer: the service charge per hour for premium services is $5.5

the service charge per hour for regular services is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the service charge per hour for premium services.

Let y represent the service charge per hour for regular services.

One customer was charged $38 after spending 2 h in premium areas and 9 regular hours. It means that

2x + 9y = 38- - - - - - - - - - - 1

Another customer spent 3 h in premium areas and 6 regular hours and was charged $34.50. It means that

3x + 6y = 34.5- - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

6x + 27y = 114

6x + 12y = 69

Subtracting, it becomes

15y = 45

y = 45/15

y = 3

Substituting y = 3 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 9 × 3 = 38

2x + 27 = 38

2x = 38 - 27 = 11

x = 11/2 = 5.5

Swimming speed of salmon. The graph is showed below shows the influence of the temperature T on the maximum sustainable swimming

Doss [256]

Answer:

Here we have the relation between the speed of the salmon and the temperature.

a) the relation dS/dT tell us how the speed of the salmon changes as the temperature changes, and the units should be (if speed is m/s and temperature is in °C )

[dS/dT ] = [m/s*°C ].

b) I can not do a draw of the figure, but i can give a aproximation.

For T = 18°C, we can see that we are around the maximum of the curve, this means that around this point we will find the zero in the first derivate.

then S'(18) ≈ 0 m/s*°C

this means that around this point the changes are small.

for T = 10°C

Around this region, we can see almost a linear behavior.

so we can take a range of +-2°C

S(12°C) = 25m/s

S(8°C) = 20m/s

then the slope can be obtained using the relation:

S = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1) where this is the slope for the line that goes trough the pairs. (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2)

S = (25 - 20)/(12 - 8) = 5/4

then we have that S´(10°C) ≈ 5/4 m/s*°C

Those two results are approximations, you may find better approximations by doing this with a ruler and drawing the tangents.
