Answer with explanation:

Let the Initial Interest rate = x

It is given that each month Interest rate decreases by $\frac{1}{4}$ point.

A.→ Expression which represent the total change of rates over the last six months

Let total change of rate over the last six month= y

$\rightarrow y=6 \times \frac{-x}{4}\\\\\rightarrow y=-1.5x$

B.→

Total Change

$=\frac{I_{6}-I_{0}}{T_{6}-T_{1}}\\\\=\frac{-1.5 x -x}{6-1}\\\\=\frac{-2.5 x}{5}\\\\=-0.5 x\\\\=\frac{-5x}{10}\\\\=\frac{-x}{2}$

The answer to the question to my test

wel

Answer:

Option C, 262 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Substitute 5 for radius and 10 for height

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

V = 1/3 * pi * (5)^2 * (10)

V = 1/3 * pi * 25 * 10

V = 250pi/3

V = 261.79

two trains leave the station at the same time one heading west and the other East the westbound train travels at 55 miles per ho

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so... one train goes west and the goes the opposite way... alrite... so... notice, by the time 338 miles have been covered by both, it will have been "t" hours, and whatever "t" is, is the same amount of time the westbound train has been running as well as the eastbound train has been running.

now, let's say, since by "t" hours they've covered 338 altogether, so, if the westbound train has covered say "d" miles, then the eastbound train would have covered the slack from 338 and d, that is, "338 - d".

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&d&55&t\\
Eastbound&338-d&75&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=55t\\
338-d=75t\\
----------\\
338-\boxed{55t}=75t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
338=75t+55t\implies 338=130t\implies \cfrac{338}{130}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{2.6}=t$

so, 2hours and 36 minutes.
