Answer:

Option (3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (1).

3(x - 1) = x + 2(x + 1) + 1

3x - 3 = x + 2x + 2 + 1

3x - 3 = 3x + 3 [Not True]

Therefore, this equation is not an identity.

Option (2).

x - 4(x + 1) = -3(x + 1) + 1

x - 4x - 4 = -3x - 3 + 1

-3x - 4 = -3x - 2 [Not true]

Therefore, this equation is not an identity.

Option (3).

2x + 3 = $\frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2$

2x + 3 = 2x + 1 + 2

2x + 3 = 2x + 3 [True]

Therefore, this equation is an identity.

Option (4).

$\frac{1}{2}(6x-3)=3(x+1)-x-2$

3x - 1.5 = 3x + 3 - x - 2

3x - 1.5 = 2x + 1 [Not true]

Therefore, this equation is not an identity.

The function V(t)=1,000(1.06)^t models the value of an investment after t years. What does the ".06" represent in the function?

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the function, we have;

V(t) = 1,000(1.06)^t

Mathematically, the amount earned on an investment that offers a particular constant percentage return to a particular number of years can be written as;

V = I(1 + r)^t

where V is the value of the investment after some certain number of years

I is the initial amount invested

r is the constant percentage increase

and t is the number of years.

Let’s now re-write what we can deduce in the question.

This is;

V(t) = 1000(1 + 0.06)^t

Thus what this 0.06 represents is r which is the constant interest rate

A computer generates 80 integers from 1 to 5 at random. The results are recorded in the table. What is the experimental probabil

matrenka [14]

The experimental probability of the computer generating a 2 is 20%.

<h3>What is the experimental probability?</h3>

The experimental probability determines the odds an event would happen based on the results of an experiment.

Experimental probability = ( number of times a 2 was generated / total number of numbers generated) x 100

(16 / 80) x 100 = 20%

You have a poster that is 5 feet by 3 feet. You want to put a frame, with a uniform width, around the picture. The poster and th

Semenov [28]

Please don't give me credit, but I want to say that;

1. You need a picture attached to this

2. Make sure you add if 5 feet is the length or width, in addition to the 3 feet

3. The width can't be a negative value, so eliminate the negative answers

4. For the second answer, why is there a coma preceding another value? The width can can only be one value

You can add all these elements

Hoped this helped!

What does y=-1/2x-4

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

$y = -1/2x - 4$

From this, you can tell it's in slope-intercept form, has a slope of -1/2, and a y-intercept of -4.

I've included a picture of what this equation looks like.
