Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is mandatory (required) to use " ^ " for exponentiation:
(3x – 5)^2 = 4
Taking the square root of both sides, we get
3x - 5 = ±2, or
3x = 5 ±2, or
(a) 3x = 7 => x = 7/3, and
(b) 3x = 3, or x = 1
Answer:
$3800
Step-by-step explanation:
When simple interest is added to the principal amount, the sum increases linearly with time. Essentially, you are asked for the y-intercept of a line that goes through the points (2, 6200) and (3, 7400). You can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line to find it:
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (7400 -6200)/(3 -2)(x -2) +6200 . . . . fill in given points
y = 1200(x -2) +6200 . . . . . . . . . simplify some
y = 1200x -2400 +6200 . . . . . . simplify more
y = 1200x +3800 . . . . . . . . . . . . . completely simplify
When the number of years (x) is zero, the amount is 3800. The principal is $3800.
_____
The account is earning $1200 per year on a principal of $3800. The interest rate is about 31.6%, an unusually high value.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can recognize that the interest earned in one year is 7400 -6200 = 1200. Since this is simple interest, the amount of interest earned each year is the same, so in 3 years, the account has earned 3×$1200 = $3600 in interest. Then the original principal amount must be ...
$7400 -3600 = $3800 . . . . . principal amount
The total amount spent on lunch per year would be 325 dollars.
<h3>What is the fundamental principle of multiplication?</h3>
Multiplication is the mathematical operation that is used to determine the product of two or more numbers. If an event can occur in m different ways and if following it, a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.
We have been given that Your lunch in the hospital cafeteria cost $6.50. Based on working 50 weeks per year, then;
The lunch in the hospital cafeteria cost = $6.50.
The total amount spend on lunch per year;
6.50 x 50
325
Hence, the total amount spent on lunch per year would be 325 dollars.
