Answer:

216 US dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount he earned for babysitting be x

He spent 1/4 of x on guitar=(1/4)×x=1/4x

He gave 1/4 of x to charity= (1/4)×x=1/4x

Equation 1

Total amount left=(Total amount earned -Total amount spent)

Total amount earned=x

Total amount spent=(Spent on Guitar+Spent on Charity)=(1/4x)+(1/4x)=1/2x=0.5x

Total amount left=108 US dollars

Substituting in equation 1

108=(x-0,5x)

Solving

0.5x/0.5=108/0.5

x=216 US dollars

He started with 216 US dollars

Find the amount in an account if 7,650 is invested at 9.15 percent compounded quarterly for 8 years and 6 months
storchak [24]

We have been given that in an account an amount of 7,650 is invested at 9.15 percent compounded quarterly for 8 years and 6 months.

We will use compound interest formula to find our answer.

A=Pcdot(1+\frac{r}{n}) ^{nT},

Where, P= principle amount, A= amount after T years, n= period of compounding and r = interest rate (decimal).

Let us substitute our given values in our formula.

A=7650(1+\frac{0.0915}{4} )^{(8.5\times4)}  

A=7650(1+0.022875)^{34}

A=7650(1.022875)^{34}  

A=7650\cdot 2.15758136398

A=16505.4974    

Therefore, after 8 years and 6 months our amount will be 16505.497.

Heather works part time at a movie theater where she earns $7.00
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

d. 1 grid equals 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

When plotting research data,  X-axis(or horizontal axis) usually used for independent variable and Y-axis is used for the dependent variable. In this case, Heather wants to know how much earning on different numbers of hours. The dependent variable is the earning and the independent variable is the hours, so you put hours on the horizontal axis.

You want to make a 10x10 grid of data and the hours ranged between 1-10. If you plot them equally, approximate scale will be: (10h-1h)/(10)= 0.9h/grid

The closest option is 1 hour per grid. It will provide the best visualization since it won't stretch or minimize the data too much.

Find the roots of the equation x^2+2x+5=0
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = - 1 ± 2i

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the discriminant b² - 4ac to determine the nature of the roots

• If b² - 4ac > , roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0, roots are real and equal

• If b² - ac < 0, roots are not real

for x² + 2x + 5 = 0

with a = 1, b = 2 and c = 5, then

b² - 4ac = 2² - (4 × 1 × 5 ) = 4 - 20 = - 16

since b² - 4ac < 0 there are 2 complex roots

using the quadratic formula to calculate the roots

x = ( - 2 ± \sqrt{-16} ) / 2

  = (- 2 ± 4i ) / 2 = - 1 ± 2i

What is the equation of the line AB, if it passes through (-4,0), and is parallel to the line
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Rewriting the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form,

-x-4y=1\\\\-4y=x+1\\\\4y=-x-1\\\\y=-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}

From this, we know the slope of the given line is -1/4.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, we know the line whose equation we want to find has a slope of -1/4.

Substituting into point-slope form,

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x+4)\\\\\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{4}x-1}
