In calendar year 2004, Division A of MegaStore increased its sales from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, and Division B increased i

ts sales from $600 million to $1.0 billion. If each division continues to increase sales by these amounts, when will the two divisions have equal sales? What will be the common value of the sales?finite math

A’s increase is 1.8/1.5=6/5; B’s increase is 1/0.6=5/3.
A formula for A is A(t)=1.5(6/5)^t and for B, B(t)=0.6(5/3)^t where t is years since 2004.
When A=B, 1.5(6/5)^t=0.6(5/3)^t.
Taking logs: log1.5+tlog(6/5)=log0.6+tlog(5/3), t(log(5/3)-log(6/5))=log1.5-log0.6.
tlog(25/18)=log2.5, t=log2.5/log(25/18)=2.7893 approx.
This occurs during 2006 around mid-October.
Common sales=1.5(6/5)^2.7893=0.6(5/3)^2.7893=$2.4943 billion.

A line is perpendicular to y = - x - 2 and intersects the point (-5, 10)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

y = x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.

The first line is y = - x - 2. Its slope is -1. A line perpendicular to this will have a slope of 1.

Plug this value (1) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1x + b or y = x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (-5, 10). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

10 = (-5) + b

Simplify.

10 = -5 + b

Now, add 5 to both sides to isolate b.

15 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = x + 15

This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -x - 2) and contains point (-5, 10)

Hope this helps!

HELP! will mark BRAINILEST !
Sedbober [7]
I like A as the best one

420 = 100*price - (fixed costs)
220 = 60*price - (fixed costs)

If we subtract one from the other one, we get 200 = 40*price, price = 5
that said, fixed costs are 500 - 420 = 80

Now if we move -220 to the right in Answer A, we'll get:

y = 5x -300 + 220 = 5x - 80

So it looks like A describes the model best

Suppose Larry has 16 books and Pat has x books. (Larry still has at least 3 more than Pat.)
zimovet [89]

Answer:

13 ≥ x

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Larry = 16
  • Pat = x

<u>Larry has at least 3 more than Pat</u>

  • 16 ≥ x + 3

<u>Simplified</u>

  • 16-3  ≥ x + 3 - 3
  • 13 ≥ x

Anyone know how to work this out?
dsp73
The first and crucial thing we want to take notice is that the lines DF and EG intersect at point H which creates 4 different triangles in the rhombus. The innermost angles of DGH and EFH are vertical angles and vertical angles are congruent. So if the angles of the triangles are congruent than the triangles themselves are congruent. This is supported by the vertical angles theorem.
