Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 1)

m = $\frac{1-0}{0+4}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 1) ⇒ c = 1

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 1 ← equation of line

Naomi invested $4000 into a fund that is expected to grow by 5.53% per year. How long will it take the fund to be worth $8000?

Assuming that this is a compounding interest rate, we use the future value formula which is expressed as: F = P ( 1 + i )^n where F is the future value, P is the present value, i is the interest rate and n is the compounding periods. We do as follows:

F = P ( 1 + i )^n
8000 = 4000 ( 1 + 0.0553)^n
n = 12.88 yrs or about 13 years

Therefore, option D is the answer.

Find all solutions of each equation on the interval 0 ≤ x<2π.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

$x = 0 \: or \:x = \pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\tan^{2} (x) \sec^{2} (x) + \sec^{2} (x) - \tan^{2} (x) = 2$

Subtract 2 from both sides and factor by grouping to get:

$\sec^{2} (x)(\tan^{2} (x) + 2) -1( \tan^{2} (x) + 2)$

$(\tan^{2} (x) + 2) (\sec^{2} (x) - 1) = 0$

By the zero product principle:

$(\tan^{2} (x) + 2) = 0 \: or \: (\sec^{2} (x) - 1) = 0$

$(\tan^{2} (x) = - 2 \: or \: \sec^{2} (x) = 1$

When

$\sec^{2} (x) = 1 \implies\cos^{2} (x) = 1$

$\implies \: \cos(x) = \pm1$

This implies

$x = 0 \: or \:x = \pi$

When

${ \tan }^{2} (x) = - 2$

We have

$\tan(x) = \pm \sqrt{ - 2}$

hence x is not defined for all real numbers

Answer:

The slope of the line is given -2

Step-by-step explanation:

since we need to find the parallel line we will use the same slope and the points given to you.

parallel line: y-1= -2 (x-4)

I hope this helps you out !!!

in peter's garden, 3/4 of the flowers are tulips. of the tulips, 2/3 are yellow. what fraction of the flowers in peter's garden

bekas [8.4K]

Half of the flowers are yellow tulips.

3 of the 4 columns are marked T for tulips.

Of those 3, 2 of them are yellow.

This shows us that 6 of the 12 boxes, 1/2, are yellow tulips.
