So we need to cover 5.5% into a decimal.

0.055 = 5.5%

The house value is 120,000.
So

(1.055x) * (120,000)=

So

f(x)=1.055x * 120,000

f(x) = 120,000(1.055)x

In what time will #250 gain #120 at 2%

muminat

Answer: 24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given, we've been given,

Principal = #250

Interest = #120

Interest rate = 2%

Time = Unknown

Interest = PRT/100

120 = (250 × 2 × Time)

Cross multiply

120 × 100 = (250 × 2 × T)

12000 = 500T

Time = 12000/500

Time = 24

It will take 24 years.

The stopping distance d of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed s. On one road, a car requires 75 f

Anton [14]

Answer:

The car requires 192 feet to stop from a speed of 48 miles per hour on the same road

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion means that two quantities increase or decrease in the same ratio

If y is directly proportional to x (y ∝ x) , then $\frac{y_{1}}{y_{2}}=\frac{x_{1}}{x_{2}}$ <em>OR</em> y = k x, where k is the constant of proportionality

∵ The stopping distance d of an automobile is directly

proportional to the square of its speed s

- That means d ∝ s²

∴ $\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\frac{(s_{1})^{2}}{(s_{2})^{2}}$

∵ A car requires 75 feet to stop from a speed of 30 miles per hour

∴ d = 75 feet

∴ s = 30 miles/hour

- Change the mile to feet

∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet

∴ 30 miles/hour = 30 × 5280 = 158400 feet/hour

∵ The car require to stop from a speed of 48 miles per hour

on the same road

- Change the mile to feet

∴ 48 miles/hour = 48 × 5280 = 253440 feet/hour

∵ $\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\frac{(s_{1})^{2}}{(s_{2})^{2}}$

- Substitute the values of $d_{1}$ by 75 feet, $s_{1}$ by 158400 feet/hour

and $s_{2}$ by 253440 feet/hour

∴ $\frac{75}{d_{2}}=\frac{(158400)^{2}}{(253440)^{2}}$

∴ $\frac{75}{d_{2}}=\frac{25}{64}$

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 25 × $d_{2}$ = 75 × 64

- Divide both sides by 25

∴ $d_{2}$ = 192 feet

The car requires 192 feet to stop from a speed of 48 miles per hour on the same road

Please explain the problem attached

<h3>Answer:</h3>

F (3x, 3y)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Dilation about the origin multiplies each coordinate by the dilation factor. For some coordinates (x, y), dilation by a factor of 3 means the new coordinates are ...

... 3×(x, y) = (3x, 3y)

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

The way the problem is worded, you expect an answer choice that will be specific to the coordinates of point A. There are none.

Instead, the answer choices are generic, corresponding to dilation of a point (x, y) by a factor of 3, translation up and to the right by 3, dilation by a factor of 1/3, and translation down and to the left by 3.
