Multiply both sides by -(1/8) as follows:
$-8x=-24$
$-8x\times -\frac{1}{8}=-24\times -\frac{1}{8}$
x=3

Let f(x)=(18)3^x. find the equation of the line between the points (-2,f(-2)) and (1,f(1))

horsena [70]

$\text{Given that,} \\\\f(x) = 18 \cdot 3^x \\\\f(-2) = 18 \cdot 3^{-2} = 2\\\\f(1) = 18 \cdot 3^1 = 54\\ \\\text{So,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (x_1, f(-2)) = (-2,2) ~\text{and}~ (x_2,y_2) = (x_2, f(1)) = (1,54)\\ \\\text{Slope,}~ m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{54-2}{1+2} = \dfrac{52}3 \\\\$

$\text{Equation of line,}\\\\~~~~~~~y - y_1 = m (x-x_1)\\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Point-Slope form.]} \\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3x + \dfrac{104}3\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}{3}x + \dfrac{104} 3 +2\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}3 x +\dfrac{110}3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Slope -Intercept form}]$

Find the area of the triange below units given are cm, cm^2, cm^3

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$A=150\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hypotenuse of triangle, H = 25 cm

Base = 15 cm

Height = 20 cm

We need to find the area of the triangle. The area of a right-angled triangle is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 15\times 20\\A=150\ cm^2$

So, the area of the triangle is equal to $150\ cm^2$ .

Lisa took out a loan for 5 months and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of 4.8%.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Lisa borrowed $8,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

Occurs when the interest is calculated on the original principal of a loan only.

Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the old principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I=Prt

Where:

I = Interest

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

t = time

Lisa took out a loan for t=5 months and was charged simple interest at an annual rate of r=4.8% = 0.048. She paid interest for I=$170.

We need to convert the time to years (there are 12 months per year):

t = 5 /12 years.

The formula must be solved for P:

$\displaystyle P=\frac{I}{rt}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle P=\frac{170}{0.048*5/12}$

$\displaystyle P=\frac{170}{0.02}=8,500$

Lisa borrowed $8,500

if an ice cream factory makes 350 quart of ice cream in 2 hours?how many quarts could be made in 12 hours? what was the rate in

UkoKoshka [18]

2,100 quarts could be made in 12 hours. The rate for that day was 175 quarts every hour. We get this by dividing 350 by 2.
