The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have m = -2 and the points (0, d) and (-8, 9). Substitute:

\dfrac{9-d}{-8-0}=-2\\\\\dfrac{9-d}{-8}=-2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-8)}\\\\9-d=16\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}\\\\-d=7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{d=-7}

A person invests $2,740 in an account that earns 4.3% annual interest. Find when the value of the investment reaches $7,000. If
Juli2301 [7.4K]

So, to set up your equation is the hardest part. If you remember the basic format, you're set.

I(t) = P * (1+r%)^t

t= time and this will be our variable

Initial amount P = $2740

Rate = 4.3% which converts numerically into .043

I(t) = 7000

Before we get to find out how to find how many years it takes to get to $7000, set up the basic equation by plugging in what we know.


I(t) = $2740(1+4.3%)^t

I(t)=2740(1.043)^t

Now plug in for $7000 for I(t)

7000=2740(1.043)^t                 Divide both sides by 2740

7000/2740 = 2740/2740(1.043)^t

2.55474453=(1.043)^t

Now you can solve for t in two ways. You can either use the natural log or graph it on your graphing calculate and see when the two equations meet.

In your calculator you can set up:

ln(2.55474453)/ln(1.043) = t                 which is the method I prefer since it's much simpler

t=22.278528

but you can also graph it in your ti-84

with

y1=2.55474453

y2=(1.043)^x

and find where they intersect on the graph.

either way it'll be the same answer

find the value of the polygon. the polygon has 6 interior angles 2 of them are y and 4 of them are (2Y-20)
Anna35 [415]
First we need to determine what the 6 angles must add to. Turns out we use this formula

S = 180(n-2)

where S is the sum of the angles (result of adding them all up) and n is the number of sides. In this case, n = 6. So let's plug that in to get

S = 180(n-2)
S = 180(6-2)
S = 180(4)
S = 720

The six angles, whatever they are individually, add to 720 degrees. The six angles are y, y, 2y-20, 2y-20,  2y-20,  2y-20, <span> 

They add up and must be equal to 720, so let's set up the equation to get...

(y)+(y)+(</span>2y-20)+(2y-20)+(2y-20)+(<span>2y-20) = 720

Let's solve for y

</span>y+y+2y-20+2y-20+2y-20+2y-20 = 720

10y-80 = 720

10y-80+80 = 720+80

<span>10y = 800
</span>
10y/10 = 800/10

y = 80

Now that we know the value of y, we can figure out the six angles

angle1 = y = 80 degrees
<span>angle2 = y = 80 degrees
</span><span>angle3 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 = 140 degrees
</span>angle4 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 =<span> 140 degrees
</span><span>angle5 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 = 140 degrees
</span>angle6 = 2y-20 = 2*80-20 =<span> 140 degrees
</span>
and that's all there is to it
