Solving $(-\frac{3}{5})(17\frac{5}{8})$ we get $-10\frac{23}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve: $(-\frac{3}{5})(17\frac{5}{8})$

We need to multiply the two terms.

Solving:

$(-\frac{3}{5})(17\frac{5}{8})$

Converting\,\,mixed\,\,fraction\,\,into\,\,improper\,\,fraction:

$(-\frac{3}{5})(\frac{141}{8})$

Now multiplying numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator:

$-\frac{423}{40} \\-10\frac{23}{40}$

So, Solving $(-\frac{3}{5})(17\frac{5}{8})$ we get $-10\frac{23}{40}$

The graph of the line with the equation y = 1/2 * x + 4 crosses the x-axis at which of the following

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so we are looking for the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis).

to do this, we sub in 0 for y and solve for x.

y = 1/2x + 4....sub in 0 for y

0 = 1/2x + 4

-1/2x = 4

x = 4 * -2

x = -8 <=== so it crosses the x axis at (-8,0)

What's the equation ???

navik [9.2K]

Y = x + b.

-4 = 2 x (-3/2) + b. -4 and 2 because of (2, -4). 2 is x and -4 is y.

b = 7.

Therefore, -4 = -3/2 + 7.

In the graph of an inequality, the area above a dashed line through the points (−6, 4) and (2, 4) is shaded. Which inequality do

Drupady [299]

Answer:A. y ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First the line is solid, a complete line not dotted so the inequality sign to use is : ≥ or ≤

The points have their y-coordinate vale as 2, (−5, 2) and (3, 2), this means the line crosses the y-axis at y=2 but because the shaded part is above this line, then the correct inequality will be :

y ≥ 2

You deposit $1500 in a stock account. The account starts losing 2.6% interest annually. How must money do you have after 2 years

Serhud [2]

Answer: M(2) = $1500*(1 - 0.026)^2 = $1423.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially in the acount there is $1500

You lose a 2.6% (or 0.026 in decimal form) per year, so after the first year you have:

M = $1500 - 0.026*$1500 = $1461

After other year, you lose oter 2.6%

M = $1461 - 0.026*$1461 = $1423.01

The equation can be writen as:

M(t) = $1500*(1 - 0.026)^t

Where t is the number of years, you can use t = 2 and get:

M(2) = $1500*(1 - 0.026)^2 = $1423.01
