Answer: So the trick I was taught to use was PEMDAS which stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. You solve the parenthesis first, followed by exponents if there are any. Multiplication and division are equal. So if there's multiplication and division in the problem, you solve the one closest to the left or start of the equation first. The same rules apply for addition and subtraction. They are both equal so you solve the first one first, even if the subtraction is before the addition.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
If the signs are the same, and you multiply or divide, the sign of the product or quotient will be positive. If the signs are different, the product or quotient will be negative.
Since the equation is in y = mx+b form you can easily determine the y intercept based on the b value present.
Y = mx + b
Y = 2x - 3
B = y intercept = (0,-3).
Answer: y = 6280(0.87)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
If the office equipment depreciates at a rate of 13% each year, then the rate of depreciation is exponential.
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
y = b(1 - r)^x
Where
y represents the value of the office equipment after t years.
x represents the number of years.
b represents the initial value of the office equipment.
r represents rate of decay.
From the information given,
y = $628
r = 13% = 13/100 = 0.13
Therefore, the equation that represents the value of the equipment after x years is
y = 6280(1 - 0.13)^x
y = 6280(0.87)^x
3pm to 7pm is 4 hours. 4 hours times 2 degrees dropped every hour is 8 degrees total dropped within those 4 hours. The previous temperature of 4 degrees at 3pm minus the 8 degres dropped is -4.
Answer is D.
