3/8 multiplied by the reciprocal 1/3 = 3/8 * 1/3, so The threes cancel each other, so m = 1/8 pound.

Graph the image of the figure using the transformation given. (across y=-x)

lana [24]

Answer:

The answer is B because if you take the line of y=-x (which you can look up on desmos if you don't know what y=-x looks like) and reflect over that line you can see that when the dot reflects over the line y=-x it goes to points (0,2)

a car purchased for $34,000 is expected to lose value, or depreciate, at a rate of 6% per year.using x for years and y for the v

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$y = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t$

After 7.40 years it will be worth less than 21500

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved using a compound interest function.

This function has the following formula:

$y = P(1-n) ^ t$

Where:

P is the initial price = $ 34,000

n is the depreciation rate = 0.06

t is the elapsed time

The equation that models this situation is:

$y = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t$

Now we want to know after how many years the car is worth less than $ 21500.

Then we do y = $ 21,500. and we clear t.

$21500 = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t\\\\log(21500/34000) = tlog(1-0.06)\\\\t = \frac{log(21500/34000)}{log(1-0.06)}\\\\t = 7.40\ years.$

After 7.40 years it will be worth less than 21500

The grounds keeper of Estofer Park has to mow 14,623 sq. ft. of grass. He can mow 13 sq. ft of grass in one minute. How many min

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer: $1,124\frac{11}{13}\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the time in minutes that will take him to mow the entire park.

You know that he can mow 13 square feet in 1 minute and he has to mow 14,623 square feet.

Then, you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{13}=\frac{x}{14,623}$

Solving for "x", you get:

$x=\frac{14,623}{13}\ min$

To write that improper fraction as a mixed number:

- The quotient when you divide the numerator by the denominator of the fraction obtained, is $1,124$ (This will be the whole number).

- The remainder of that division is $11$ (This will be the numerator of the fraction).

- The denominator does not change.

Then:

$x=1,124\frac{11}{13}\ min$
