The annual return percentages will be evaluated using the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=amount
P=principle
r=rate
n=time
a] A=$500, P=$400, n=1 years
500=400(1+r)^1
solving for r we shall obtain:
1.25=1+r
hence
r=1.25-1
r==0.25
annual rate of investment is 25%
b] A=2500+100=$2600, P=$ 2000, n=1 year
hence
2600=2000(1+r)^1
2600/2000=1+r
1.3=1+r
r=1.3-1
r=0.3
annual rate of investment is 30%
You can soustracte the first or the second one
and y cancel
x = 6
now you put 6 in x
you can take the first or the second one
6 - y = -2
6 - y = -2
y = -8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the graph is a plot of Sean's distance from home as he drives to work, works 8 hours, then drives home with a 2-hour stop along the way. It also appears that t is measured in hours after midnight.
The graph shows Sean's distance from home between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (t=17) is 20 km. Based on our assumptions, ...
Sean's workplace is located 20 km from his home.
__
Speed is the change in distance divided by the change in time. Between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Sean's position changes by 20 km. His speed is then ...
(20 km)/(1 h) = 20 km/h
Sean's speed driving to work was 20 km/h.
__
Between 5 p.m. (t=17) and 7 p.m. (t=19), Sean's position changes from 20 km to 10 km from home. That change took 2 hours, so his speed was ...
(10 km)/(2 h) = 5 km/h
Sean's speed between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. was 5 km/h.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The units of speed (kilometers per hour) tell you it is computed by dividing kilometers by hours. ("Per" in this context means "divided by".)
While the slope of the line on the graph between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. is negative, the speed is positive. The negative sign means Sean's speed is not away from home, but is toward home. When the direction (toward, away) is included, the result is a vector called "velocity." Speed is just the magnitude of the velocity vector. It ignores direction.
If my calculations are correct, Colton swam 288 yards. Really hope this helps.
