Must m in the equation y=mx+b always be a positive number

2 answers:

Not at all.

'm' turns out to be the slope of the graph of the equation.

If the graph of the equation slopes upward as it goes
from left to right, then 'm' is positive.

If the graph of the equation slopes downward as it goes
from left to right, then 'm' is negative.

'm' is the slope.

The answer is no. There could be a negative number, which means that the slope would be decreasing, or as known as a negative slope (negative rate of change). <span />

For all values of x,

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

For f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = -x 2 + 1, find the composite function defined by (f o g)(x)

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

= 2 (g(x)) + 3

= 2( -x 2 + 1 ) + 3

= - 2 x 2 + 5 Given f(2) = 3, g(3) = 2, f(3) = 4 and g(2) = 5, evaluate (f o g)(3)

A person invest $1200 in an account that earns 2% interest compound quarterly. Find when the value of the investment reaches $15

Basile [38]

Answer:

After 11 years the value of the investment reaches $1500.00

.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for finding time (when the value reaches certain amount) is:

$A= P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A= Future VAlue

P= Principal Value

r= rate of interest (in decimal)

n= no of times investment is compounded

t= time

Putting the values given and finding Time t,

A= $1500

P= $1200

r= 2% or 0.02

n= 4 (compound quarterly)

$A= P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$1500= 1200(1+\frac{0.02}{4})^{4t}$

Dividing both sides by 1200 and solving 0.02/4 = 0.005

$1.25= (1+0.005)^{4t}$

$1.25= (1.005)^{4t}$

Since t is in power we take the logarithm ln on both sides.

The rule of logarithm says that the exponent can be multiplied with the base when taking log

$\ln1.25=ln( 1.005)^{4t}\\\ln1.25=4t * ln( 1.005)\\0.22 = 4t * 0.005\\Solving\,\,\\\frac{0.22}{4*0.005} = t\\=> t= 11\, years$

False. Anything times 0.8 except 0, is 0.8 or more.
