Answer:

A negative number wouldn’t be reasonable in the solution of the rate of the investment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Johnny invests $41,745 into an account, which has been earning interest for many years. The simple interest formula is:-

Simple Interest = $41745 x Rate x Time

We know Rate > 0 and Time > 0. It means Simple interest > 0.

<u>So the interest part could not be negative.</u>

Given that he now has a total of $39,974. So the interest part = $39,974 - $41,745 = -$1,771. It means he got the negative interest which is not reasonable.

Hence, a negative number wouldn’t be reasonable in the solution of the rate of the investment.

A negative number wouldn't be reasonable in investments because when you invest you are adding money to something. If you invest you aren't removing anything so there can't be negative numbers.

The temperature falls from 0 degrees to Negative 12 and one-fourth degrees in 3 and one-half hours. Which expression finds the c
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The expression used to find the change in temperature per hour is Algebraic expression

Thus per hour; the temperature falls at the rate of - 3\dfrac{1}{2}^0

Step-by-step explanation:

A temperature falls from 0 to  - 12\dfrac{1}{4}     in     3\dfrac{1}{2} \ hours

Which expression finds the change in temperature per hour.

From the above given information;

The initial temperature is 0

The final temperature is  - 12\dfrac{1}{4}  

The change in temperature is \Delta T = T_2  -  T_1

\Delta  T = -12\dfrac{1}{4} -0

\Delta T = -12.25

Thus;

-12.25 ° = 3.5 hours

To find the change in x°   per hour; we have;

x°            = 1 hour

The expression used to find the change in temperature per hour is Algebraic expression

From above if we cross multiply ; we have;

(- 12.25° × 1 hour) = (x° × 3.5 hour)

Divide both sides by 3.5 hours; we have:

\dfrac{-12.25^0*1 }{3.5}=\dfrac{ x^0 *3.5}{3.5}

x° =  - 3.5

x° = - 3\dfrac{1}{2}

Thus per hour; the temperature falls at the rate of - 3\dfrac{1}{2}^0
