Assume the rate of inflation is 5​% per year for the next 2 years. What will be the cost of goods 2 years from​ now, adjusted fo

The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.

where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form 
t = number of years

In this case, 
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years

We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70

Answer: 308.70 dollars

What eqauls to 31.25
RSB [31]

125 = 5^3 = 25 * 5

4 \cdot \sqrt{125} = 4 \sqrt{25 \cdot 5} = 4 \cdot 5 \sqrt{5} = 20\sqrt{5}

The simplification you are trying to do involves finding the prime factorization of a number. Since 125 is not divisible by 2, move on to 3. 125 is also not divisible by 3, so move on to 5. Then 125/5 = 25, and 25/5 = 5, so 125 = 5^3. The prime factorization of 125 is 5^3.

What is the slope of the the line that goes through (4,3) and (8,5)
TEA [102]

Formula to find the slope:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

(4,3); (8,5)

m= 5-3 / 8-4

m = 2/4

m = 1/2

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through these points is 1/2

How do you Convert 50 meters to per second to km/h ? Btw i need to know how to solve it
erma4kov [3.2K]

50 m/s is going to be 180 km/h or 3 km/s.

50 / 1000 = 0.05

0.05 x 60 = 3 kilometers a minute.

3 x 60 = 180 kilometers an hour.

50 m/s divided by 1 kilometer = 0.05 kilometers a second. You then multiply it by 60 to get it in minutes, and then 60 again to get it in hours. because their are 3600 seconds in an hour. So you could divide 50 meters per second by 1000 meters or 1 kilometer and then multiply it by 3600 seconds to get 180 kilometers an hour.
