Find the percent of increase from 350 to 470. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Which of these describes the equation –18x + 9y = –416?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

We conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form $y = mx + b$ .

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line or linear equation

$y = mx+b$

where

$m$ is the slope

$b$ is the y-intercept

<u>Important Tip:</u>

The graph of a linear equation is always a straight line.

Convert the given equation in the slope-intercept form

$18x + 9y = -416$

subtract 18x from both sides

$18x+9y-18x = - 18x-416$

simplify

$9y = -18x - 416$

divide both sides by 9

$y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}$

Now, comparing the equation $y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}$ with a slop-intercept form of linear equation

The slope m = -2

The y-intercept b = -416/9

Therefore, we conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form $y = mx + b$ .

From the attached graph, is also clear that the graph of the equation $y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}$ is a straight line.

Hence, option D is correct.

Simplify the expression (k2)4

lilavasa [31]

4 times 2= 8. so, 4times k2 = k8. To understand this better, imagine that k equaled 2. That would make the expression above = (2x2)4, which would equal 16. However, since we don't know the value of k, we have to use the numbers that we already have, It would be like solving the expression: (2x2)4 without multiplying the first 2. It would then be 2x8. So, we just simplified it, we didn't solve it.

Walter invests $100,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 12%. How long will it take for his money to

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case since we know that the interest is compounded continuously, then we can use the following formula:

$A =P e^{rt}$

Where A is the future value, P the present value , r the rate of interest in fraction and t the number of years.

For this case we know that P = 100000 and r =0.12 we want to triplicate this amount and that means $A= 300000$ and we want to find the value for t.

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Danny rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.99, and there was an additional charge of 92 cents for each mile d

Kitty [74]

Answer:

194 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The base fee of $15.99 is going to have to be paid, whether any miles are put on the truck or not. If the number of miles driven is our unknown, if we rent the truck for the base fee of $15.99 and drive it 0 miles, we still have to pay the $15.99. If we do drive it and we have to pay .92 a mile, the expression for that is .92x, where x is the number of miles driven (it is also the variable we are solving for!). The expression for this total cost is .92x + 15.99, and since we paid a total of $194.47, we set our cost equation equal to that number and solve for x:

.92x + 15.99 = 194.47 and

.92x = 178.48 so

x = 194 miles driven
