Answer:
3x +8y = -17
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope equation is a good place to start.
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . equation through (h, k) with slope m
Filling in your numbers gives ...
y +4 = -3/8(x -5)
Multiplying by 8, we get
8y + 32 = -3x + 15
Adding 3x-32 puts this in standard form.
3x + 8y = -17
_____
Standard form is ...
ax +by = c
where a, b, c are mutually-prime integers and the leading coefficient is positive. (If a=0, the leading coefficient is b.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function prevents the expression from being a polynomial. The degree of 3 in y^3 is an odd number so that polynomial function will not be even.
Answer:
The total nuber of hours that the battery can be used over its lifetime is 600.
Step-by-step explanation:
We use an infinite geometric series to solve this question.
The sum of all values of an infinite geometric series is given by the following equation:

In which
is the first term and r is the common ratio.
After each charging, a battery is able to hold only 97% of the charge from the previous charging.
This means that 
The battery was used for 18 hours on its first charge before it had to be recharged.
This means that 
What is the total number of hours the battery can be used over its lifetime?

The total nuber of hours that the battery can be used over its lifetime is 600.
Answer:
It will take about 7.3 years for his money to triple.
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the variables in the formula.
A = 150,000
P = 50,000
r = 0.15
t = ?
A = Pe^rt
Substitute the values into the formula.
150,000 = 50,000e^0.15*t
Solve for t. Divide each side by 50,000.
3 = e^0.15*t
Take the natural log of each side.
ln 3 = ln e^0.15*t
Use the power property and then simplify.
ln 3 = 0.15*t ln e
ln 3 = 0.15-t
Divide each side by 0.15.
(ln 3)
/(0.15) = t
Approximate the answer.
t ≈ 7.3
No because equivalent is like 5/10 so it's not right
