Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were five rummers in the team;

Each runner finished one after the other

Total. Points scored =. 55

Let the positions of each runner be :

1sr runner = p

2nd runner =.p + 1

3rd runner =.p + 2

4th runner =.p + 3

5th runner =.p + 4

(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55

(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55

5p + 10 = 55

5p = 55 - 10

5p = 45

p = 9

Hence,

1st runner = 9th

2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th

3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th

4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th

5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th

Simple...

when they ask for the rate of change they ask for slope -->>

Using \frac{ y_{1} - y_{2} }{ x_{1} - x_{2} } to find the rate of change for (-3,0) and (-2,-5)

\frac{0--5}{-3--2}

\frac{0+5}{-3+2}

\frac{5}{-1}

m=-5 

Thus, your answer.

stepan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a. The amount that is saved at the expiration of the 5 year period is $22,769.20¢

b. The amount of interest is $2,769.20¢

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount that is deposited every year for a period of five years is $4,000 and the rate of the interest is 6.5%. We can always calculate the amount that is saved at the expiration of the five years.

    We will first state the formula for calculating the future value of annuity:-

      Future value of annuity =

                      P[\frac{(1 + r)^{t}-1 }{r}]

   Where P is the amount deposited per year.

   r is the rate of interest

   t is the time or period

 

    and in this case, the actual value of P = $4,000

      rate of interest, r is 6.5% = 0.065

      time, t is 5 years.

   Substituting e, we have:

   Fv of annuity =

                          4,000[\frac{(1 + 0.065)^{5}-1 }{0.065 }]

   = 4,000 × [((1.065)^5)- 1/0.065]

 = 4,000 × [(1.37 - 1)/0.065]

 = 4,000 × (0.37/0.065)

 = 4,000 × 5.6923

 = $22,769.20¢

a. Therefore the amount that is saved at the end of the five (5) years is $22,769.20¢

b. To find the interest, we will calculate the amount of deposit made during the period of five years and subtract the sum from the current amount that is saved ($22,769.29¢).

  Since I deposited 4,000 every year for five years, the total amount of deposit I made at the period =

       4,000 × 5 = $20,000

  The amount of interest is then = $22,769.20¢ - $20,000 = $2,769.20¢

Which binomial is a factor of 49x2 + 84 xy + 36y2?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

(7x+6y) is a binomial factor of the given expression  49x^2+84xy+36y^2

Therefore  49x^2+84xy+36y^2=(7x+6y)(7x+6y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is 49x^2+84xy+36y^2

To find the binomial factor :

49x^2+84xy+36y^2

Rewritting the above expression as

=7^2x^2+2(7)(6)xy+6^2y^2

=(7x)^2+2(7x)(6y)+(6y)^2

=(7x+6y)^2 ( using the formula =(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 here a=7x and y=6y )

=(7x+6y)(7x+6y) ( using the formula =(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b) )

Therefore  49x^2+84xy+36y^2=(7x+6y)(7x+6y)

(7x+6y) is a binomial factor of the given expression  49x^2+84xy+36y^2

Write each expression as a difference.<br> a+5
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The equivalent expression of a + 5 is -(-a - 5)

<h3>How to rewrite the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

a + 5

Multiply by 1

1 * (a + 5)

Express 1 as -1 * -1

-1 * -1 * (a + 5)

Open the bracket

-1 * (-a - 5)

This gives

-(-a - 5)

Hence, the equivalent expression of a + 5 is -(-a - 5)
