A line with a slope of 10 passes through the points ( -5, - 9) and ( - 4,a). What is the value of a?

1 answer:

4 0

The slope is 10
(-5,-9)
(-4,-a)
a=-19
Because the slope is 10, that means when the input increases, the output will increases 10.

In triangle abc angle a = 40◦, side b = 11 and side c = 5. use the cosine rule to find the length of side a, to two decimal plac

Sonbull [250]

A^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos a

= 11^2 + 5^2 - 2*5*11 cos 40

= 7.86 to 2 DP's

to find the remaining angles use the sine rule:-
a / sin A = b / sin B so

7.857/ sin 40 = 11 / sin B
sin B = 11 sin40 / 7.857 = 0.8999

<B = 64 degrees

so <C = 180 - 64-40 = 76 degrees

Can someone help me<br> 7 + 2h = 3 + 4h

STALIN [3.7K]

h = 2

$7 + 2h = 3 + 4h$

You must isolate the variable to solve using the order of operations, or PEMDAS.

$4 = 2h$

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation, and subtract 2h from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{4}{2} = h$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

$h = 2$

The business was valued at £17000 at the start of 2011. In 6 years, the value of this business was raised to £186000. This is equivalent to a yearly increase of 49.0%.

Given that, A=£17000, P=£186000, r=x%, t=6 years

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on principal plus interest.

We know that, $A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}$
