Answer:

The student should have simplified the equation to have y + 8 on the left.

Then, the student should have subtracted 8 from both sides of the equation.

The value of b should be 4, not 20.

Answer:

The error in the students work is

y -(-8) + 8 = -6x + 12 + 8

subtracting a negative is adding

y+8

They should subtract 8 from each side instead of adding 8 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use point slope form since we are given a point and the slope

y-y1 = m( x-x1)

y--8 = -6(x-2)

y+8 = -6(x-2)

Distribute the -6

y+8 = -6x+12

Subtract 8 from each side

y+8-8 = -6x+12-8

y = -6x+4

The error in the students work is

y -(-8) + 8 = -6x + 12 + 8

subtracting a negative is adding

y+8

They should subtract 8 from each side instead of adding 8 to each side

Mumz [18]

Answer: $4,365.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that:

The account starts with $2350

There is a simple interest of 3.75% (or 0.035).

Then after one year, the amount in the account will increase by 3.75%, this means that the amount will be:

$2350 + 0.035*$2350 = (1.035)*$2350.

After another year, we have the same increase (but applied to the new amount in the account):

(1.035)*$2350 + 0.035*(1.035)*$2350. = (1.035)^2*$2350

And so on.

You already can see the pattern here, the amount of money in the saving account after N years will be:

M(N) = $2350*(1.035)^N.

Now we can answer:

what is the balance of the account if it earns a  simple interest of 3.75% for 18 years?

Just replace N by 18 in that equation:

M(18) = $2350*(1.035)^18 = $4,365.10

If tan x = 1.731 then sin x =?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

0.866

Step-by-step explanation:

If tan x = 1.731 then sin x =

Given data

tan x = 1.731

x= tan^-1 (1.731)

x= 59.98°

x= 60° approx

Aso

sin x=??

substitute

sin  60°= 0.866

Hence the answer is 0.866

Mary and Jane have rectangular pools that are similar in shape. Mary’s pool dimensions are 2.1 times the corresponding dimension
Naddik [55]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the first pool to have dimensions 3.0 by 2.0

The second pool being 2.1 times the first will have dimensions 6.3 * 4.2

The area of the first pool is 6.0 and that of the second is 26.46

making the area of the second pool 4.41 times that of the first.
