Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subsutute p/q with the numbers given, p = -2 and q = 5.

-2 / 5.

2. Divide 2/5 and -2/5 and compare.

2 / 5 = 0.40

-2 / 5 = -0.40

-0.40 < 0.40

If they are not =, then they are <u>NOT</u> equivalent.

Which means, they are Not equivalent.

Solve for x.<br><br> y=4+bx^2

kicyunya [14]

$y=4+bx^2$

$bx^2 = y - 4$

$x^2 = \dfrac{y-4}{b}$

$x = \pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{y-4}{b} }$

In a parallelogram if AB = 3x + 2y and AB = 30 what is the value of x and y

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

We can put the two equations together with substitution, and we get

3x + 2y = 30

Now we have a single equation in two variables, so we don't have enough information to solve for both x and y.

If there are 31,536,000 seconds in one year how many seconds are in a millennium

Naily [24]

A millennium is 1000 years.

Multiply the number of seconds in 1 year by 1000:

31,536,000 x 1,000 = 31,536,000,000 seconds.

Charlie invests £1200 at 3.5% per annum compound interest.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula $A = P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

A = amount compounded after n years

P = principal (amount invested)

r = rate (in %)

t = time (in years)

n = time used to compound the money

Given P = £1200., r = 3.5%, t = 3years, n = 1 year(compounded annually)

$A = 1200(1+0.035)^{3}\\ A = 1200(1.035)^{3}\\ A = 1200* 1.108717875\\A = 1,330.46$

Value of Charlie's investment after 3 years is £1,330.46
