Answer:

They can never be both either increasing or decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is positive, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 0° to 90° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be increasing.

Again, if the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is negative, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 90° to 180° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be decreasing.

Hence, if the rate of change of one linear function is positive and for another is negative, they can never be both either increasing or decreasing. (Answer)

A leading bank is coming up with an investment that pays 8 percent interest compounded semiannually. What is the investment's ef
uranmaximum [27]
The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
r =  {(1 +  \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
r = {(1 +  \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2}  - 1 \\ r =  {(1 +  \frac{1}{25}) }^{2}  - 1 \\ r =  \frac{676}{625}  - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%

What is 3x+4y=16 for x
sergiy2304 [10]
3x + 4y = 16           Write original equation     
3x + 4y - 4y = -4y + 16          Subtract 4y from each side
3x = -4y +16                    Simplify
3x/3 = -4y/3 + 16/3      Divide each side by three
x = -4y/3 +16/3             Simplify

I hope this helps!

Can someone please help me ASAP​
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x^2 + 5n = 4mx

=> x^2 - 4mx + 5n = 0

D=0 (since one root then roots are equal)

b^2-4ac = 0

(-4m)^2 - 4(1)(5n) = 0

16m^2 - 20n = 0

16m^2 = 20n

8m^2 = 10n

4m^2 = 5n

hope it helps.......
