Suppose your business has a special checking account used just for paying the phone bill. The balance is $740.00 this month. Nex

t month the balance will be $707.60, after that it will be $675.20, and on the third month the balance will be $642.80. Write an explicit formula to represent the balance in the account as an arithmetic sequence. How many months can you pay your phone bill without depositing any more money in the account? Question 9 options: A(n) = 740.00 + (n - 1)(-32.40); 24 months A(n) = 740.00 - 32.40n; 22 months A(n) = 740.00 + (n - 1)(-32.40); 23 months A(n) = 740.00 - 32.40n; 23 months

An arithmetic sequence is defined by a starting value and a common difference, and once you have those values, you can write:
A_n = s - d(n-1), with s being the starting value and d being the common difference.

We know that the starting value is $740, since that's the balance this month.  The common difference is the difference between two consecutive terms, which is

$707.60-$740 = -$32.40

Therefore, the arithmetic sequence is A_n = $740 - $32.40 \cdot (n-1).

This corresponds to the first and third options.  However, the question of how many months you can pay the bills remains.

We can no longer pay our bills when the balance becomes zero or less, so we solve for the greatest value of n satisfying

$740 - $32.40 \cdot (n-1) \geq 0. 

Expanding, this becomes

$772.40 - $32.40 \cdot n \geq 0,

which is equivalent to

$772.40 \geq $32.40 \cdot n.  Dividing by $32.40 gives
23.83 \geq n (the 23.83 is an approximation, but it's close enough for our purposes). 
Since n has to be an integer, the maximum value of n is \boxed{23}.  Thus, the third option is correct.  (

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -7 y=0

x= -3 y =-6

y =mx+b

b=-7

-6= -3m -7

-3m = 1

m= -1/3

y= -x/3 -7

y =  -  \frac{x}{3}  - 7

68+(-41)=?<br> Solved and show how you got the answer.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

68 + (-41) = ?

Well, adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, so...

68 + (-41)   =   68 - 41

68 - 41 = 27

What answer is this?
klemol [59]

Answer:

option B

\frac{31}{50}-\frac{4}{25} i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a complex fraction

<h3>Step1</h3>

To divide complex numbers, you must multiply by the conjugate. To find the conjugate of a complex number all you have to do is change the sign between the two terms in the denominator.

\frac{5+4i}{6+8i}(\frac{6-8i}{6-8i})

<h3>Step2</h3>

Distribute (or FOIL) in both the numerator and denominator to remove the parenthesis.

\frac{30+24i-40i-32i²}{36-64i^{2} }

<h3>Step3</h3>

Simplify the powers of i, specifically remember that i² = –1.

\frac{62-16i}{36+64}

<h3>Step4</h3>

\frac{62}{100}-\frac{16i}{100}

<h3>Step5</h3>

simply

\frac{31}{50}-\frac{4}{25}i

A right triangle has an area of 18 The length of each leg is 6 inches. If the triangle is not an isosceles triangle, what are al
ladessa [460]

Given:

Area of a right triangle = 18 sq. inches

Length of one leg = 6 inches

To find:

The length of another leg.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height

In a right angle triangle, the area of the triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times leg_1\times leg_2

Putting A=18 and leg_1=6, we get

18=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\times leg_2

18=3\times leg_2

Divide both sides by 3.

\dfrac{18}{3}=leg_2

6=leg_2

Both legs are equal so the given triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

If the triangle is not isosceles triangle, then the length of legs are factors of 36 because half of 36 is 18.

Therefore, the possible pairs of legs are 1 and 36, 2 and 18, 3 and 12, 4 and 9, 6 and 6, 9 and 4, 12 and 3, 18 and 2, 36 and 1.
