Answer:

$4.76 for next year

5.5 years required to reach top of $5 or 6th year from now to top $5

Step-by-step explanation:

For first question,

initial price is $4.7

Now for formula of percentage, we have to find 1.36% of 4.7

Consider this 1.36% value as x

So, (x/4.7)x100 = 1.36

x = (1.36x4.7)/100

x = 0.063

Now, this x is the increment in previous price,

So, new price = 4.7 + x

New price = 4.7 + 0.063

                  = $4.763

For second question, we will use geometric series concept

In geometric series, their is a common ratio, which is ratio of two consecutive terms,

Since, every time increment in price is 1.36%, so this 1.36% is a common ratio

Formula for geometric series is

T(n) = ar^(n-1)

Now, T(n) is the term to be found or last term which is here $5

a is first term which is $4.7

r is common ratio which is 1.36% or 1.0136 to eliminate % sign

n is to be found

5 = (4.7) (1.0136)^(n-1)

5/4.7 = (1.0136)^(n-1)

Applying log on both sides

log (5/4.7) = log (1.0136)^(n-1)

0.026 = (n-1)log(1.0136)

0.026 = (n-1) * (5.86x10^-3)

n-1 = 4.43

n = 5.4 years

So, in 5.4 years, price will hit $5

So, 5.5 years price will top $5

write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,4) and (6,9) and figure out what y=mx+b for this equation woul
jeka57 [31]
Hello there! So, y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form, where m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept, and y and x remain unfilled. First off, let's solve for the slope. The formula for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y coordinates from the second x and y coordinates. So it would be formed like this:

9 - 4 / 6 - (-4)

Let's subtract. 9 - 4 is 5. 6 - (-4) is 10. 5/10 is 1/2 in simplest form. The slope for this equation is 1/2. Now, let's find the y-intercept. We will find that by plugging one of the points into the equation and solving for b. The x and y coordinates will be filled in by that coordinate. Let's use (-4, 4) for this problem. We will also plug in the slope. In this case, the problem will look like this:

4 = (1/2)(-4) + b

Now, let's multiply 1/2 and -4 to get -2. Now, to get b by itself, subtract 2 to both sides to isolate the b. -2 + 2 cancels out. 4 + 2 is 6. b = 6. There. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 1/2x + 6.

What’s the question mark
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

? = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are similar, then the only way I see this working is the sides measuring 63 and 54 are corresponding. The sides measuring 56 and 48 are corresponding. That leaves the sides measuring 35 and ? corresponding.

Set up a proportion.

63/54 = 35/?

63? = 54 * 35

63? = 1890

? = 30
