Answer: A.) Lines 2 and 4 are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope gives - 1 . That is , if m_{1} is the slope of the first line and  m_{2} is the slope of the second line , if the two lines are perpendicular , then :

m_{1} m_{2} = -1  , which can also be written as ;

m_{1} = -1 /  m_{2}.

The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as :

y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Line one : y = - 1 , comparing with the equation of line in slope intercept form , it means line one has no slope

Line two : y = -1/2x - 2 , it has a slope of - 1/2

Line 3 : x = -4 , has no slope

Line 4 : y + 3 = 2 ( x - 2 )

Writing this in slope intercept form , we will make y the subject of the formula.

y + 3 = 2x - 4

y  = 2x -4 - 3

y = 2x - 7

This means that the slope of line 4 is 2.

Comparing line two and line four to check if they are perpendicular

- 1/2 x 2 = - 1 , surely , it obeys the perpendicularity rule , this means that line 2 and 4 are perpendicular

Five years ago, Benjamin invested in Parchar Special Effects. He purchased four par value $1,000 bonds from Parchar Special Effe
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Five years ago, Benjamin invested in Parchar Special Effects. He purchased four par value $1,000 bonds from Parchar Special Effects at a market rate of 96.230. Each bond had an interest rate of 7.2%. Benjamin also purchased 200 shares of stock in the same company, each of which cost $19.08 and had a yearly dividend of $2.04. Today, bonds from Parchar Special Effects have a market rate of 104.595, and stock in Parchar Special Effects costs $22.62. If Benjamin liquidates his portfolio and sells all of his investments, which aspect of his investment will have yielded him a greater total profit, and how much greater is it?

A person invests $1,150 in an account that earns 5% annual interest compounded continuously. Find when the value of the investme
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

11.1 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest compounding continuously is:

A(t)=Pe^{rt}

Where A(t) is the amount after the compounding, P is the initial deposit, r is the interest rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years.  Filling in what we have looks like this:

2000=1150e^{{.05t}

We will simplify this first a bit by dividing 2000 by 1150 to get

1.739130435=e^{.05t}

To get that t out the exponential position it is currently in we have to take the natural log of both sides.  Since a natural log has a base of e, taking the natual log of e cancels both of them out.  They "undo" each other, for lack of a better way to explain it.  That leaves us with

ln(1.739130435)=.05t

Taking the natural log of that decimal on our calculator gives us

.5533852383=.05t

Now divide both sides by .05 to get t = 11.06770477 which rounds to 11.1 years.
