<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Let's use a trial and improvement method to find this solution.
Step 1. Let's choose x = 8.5
Substituting into the equation:
Step 2. Let's choose x = 8.4
Substituting into the equation:
Step 3. Let's choose x = 8.3
Substituting into the equation:
Since the sign of the equation changes from positive to negative when evaluating from 8.4 to 8.3, then x = 8.3 seems to be a reasonable value. Finally, the solution to 1 decimal place is:
It's 8 if you're doing ones but if you're doing tenths it's 8.4 and i
Answer:
Sylvia's investment would double first
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of years it takes for amount invested to double itself using the 72 rule is 72 divided by rate of interest as computed below:
Sylvia investment:
Sylvia's investment would double in 9 years' time (72/8)
Manuel's investment"
Manuel investment of $600 would double itself in 9.9 years' time (72/7.25)
From the above analysis,Sylvia's investment of $500 at the 8% rate of interest would double first
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
If |x| < |y| and both are negative the x will be to the right of y on the number line. The point x is loser to the zero on the number line. We can illustrate this by supposing x = -3 and y = -6.
|x| = 3 and |y| = 6 and 3 < 6 but -3 on the number line is higher ( to the right) of -6 and closer to the zero.
|-8 1/3| = 8 1/3
|7 2/3| = 7 2/3
The absolute values of 8 1/3 > than absolute value of 7 2/3. The point 7 2/3 is closer to the zero on a number line.
The absolute value of F is greater than absolute value of E so E is closer to the zero line than F.
