n points would divide a given line into n+1 segments.

Just assume that you have a line and you added a point to that line, this point would divide your line into two segments.
If you add two points to a line, these two points would divide your line into three segments.
So the number of segments is always greater that the number of points by 1.

If a new college graduate wants a car costing $21,000, how much must be saved annually over the next four years if the funds ear
fgiga [73]
I'm assuming the funds earn 5% yearly?

Call x the amount he saves every year.  The first year's deposit will be multiplied by 1.05 three times, the next will be multiplied by 1.05 twice, the third will be multiplied by 1.05 once, and the fourth will not generate interest (as it will immediately be used to buy the car).

Therefore, x(1.05^3+1.05^2+1.05+1)=21000, so 4.31x=21000.  Dividing by 4.31, we see that x is approximately equal to 4872.

Answer:

The average rate is 35 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from town A to town B takes 3 hours.  The distance is 100 miles


To get from town B to  town c takes 1 hours.  The distance is 40 miles

To find the average rate , we need to find the total distance and divide by the total time

Total distance = 100 + 40 = 140 miles

Total time = 3 hrs + 1 hr = 4 hours

distance = rate * time

140 miles = rate * 4 hours

140/4 = rate

35 = rate

The average rate is 35 miles per hour
