Answer:

Tom weighs 70 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to set up your equation which would be, x + 3x = 280.

The x stands for Tom's weight and the 3x stands for three times Tom's weight for the dad. You would then add your like terms, then divide by 4 to get 70.

x + 3x = 280

4x = 280

280/4 = 70

x = 70

Hope this helps!

Question 9: Please help, what would be the length of the image of the segment GH?

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The length of the image of the segment GH would be 5 units.

Explanation:

You can use the center of dilation as your origin of coordintes.

Thus, the point H would have coordinates (0,0) and the point G (-1,0).

A dilation multiplies the coordinates by the scale factor. Hence:

H = (0,0) → H' = 5 × (0,0) = (0,0)

G = (-1,0) → G] = 5 × (-1, 0) = (-5, 0)

Thus, the length of the image of segment GH would be the distance from 0 to -5 in a number line, which is 5.

Orwell building supplies' last dividend was $1.75. Its dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 38.00% for 2 years, af

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Estimated current stock price is $46.84

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the value of dividend payment $t_1, t_2 \& t_3$

Given $D_0=$1.75$

Yearly growth rate for next 2 years( $g_1$ )=38.00%

$D_1=\$1.75\times 1.38=\$2.42$

$D_2=\$2.42\times1.38=\$3.34$

Growth after two years will 6% indefinitely

$g_2=6\%=\dfrac{6}{100}=0.06$

$D_3=\$3.34\times1.06=\$3.54$

Estimate of current stock price is

$=\dfrac{D_1}{(1+r)}+\dfrac{D_2}{(1+r)^{2}}+\dfrac{\dfrac{D_3}{(r-g_2)}}{(1-r)^{3}}$

$=\dfrac{\$2.42}{(1.12)}+\dfrac{\$3.34}{(1.12)^{2}}+\dfrac{\dfrac{\$3.54}{(0.12-0.06)}}{(1.12)^{3}}$

=$46.84

Estimate of current stock price is =$46.84

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points. (-1,7) , (3,-1)

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer! :

y = -2x + 5

Step by Step! :

slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m being slope, b being the y intercept.

To find the slope, use this equation:

y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

Plug in your points.

(-1) - (7) / (3) - (-1)

-8 / 4

-2 is your slope! (y = -2x + b)

To solve for b, plug in any one of your points and solve for b. Let's use (3, -1)

-1 = -2(3) + b

-1 = -6 + b

5 = b

Your new equation is...

y = -2x + 5
