Answer:

y = -(2/3)x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the points that are given.  

(4, -1) = (x1, y1)

(-2, 3) = (x2, y2)

Step 1: Find the slope, denoted m

This is done by using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The slope for this problem is

m = (3 - (-1))/(-2 - 4)  

m = 4/-6 = -2/3

Step 2: The general form for a linear equation in slope-intercept form is  

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Use what we know about our line to solve the rest. By using one of the given points, we have 3 of the 4 variables in the above equation. Pick either point, it doesn't matter which one. We'll use (4, -1), which is (x, y), and we know that  

m = -2 /3

The equation becomes...

-1 = -(2/3)(4) + b (now solve for b)

-1 =  -8/3 + b

-1 + 8/3 = b

-3/3 + 8/3 = b

5/3 = b

Plug that value into the general form...

y = -(2/3)x + 5/3

Answer:

2x + 3y =  5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope  of the line:

Slope = (3 - (-1)) / (-2-4)

= 4/-6 = -2/3

Now we use the point slope form of a straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

y - 3 = -2/3(x - (-2))

y - 3 = -2/3(x + 2)

3y - 9 = -2x - 4

2x + 3y = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{360 - 2(x  +  30)}{2}  = x \\  360 - 2x - 60 = 2x \\ 300 - 4x = 0 \\ 4x = 300 \\ x = 300  \div 4  = 75

Simple Interest:<br><br>54000 x 0.038 x (3/12) = <br> I don't know what I'm doing wrong
kirill115 [55]
The simple interest rate equation is I = Prt
I = interest
P = principle ($54,000)
r = rate (3.875%)
t = time (3 months, so .25 years)

I = Prt
I = (54,000)*(.03875)*(.25)
I = $523.125

What is the solution to the trigonometric inequality 2sin(x)+3&gt;sin ^2(x) over the interval
navik [9.2K]

The intervals that satisfy the given trigonometric Inequality are; 0 ≤ x < 3π/2 and 3π/2 < x ≤ 2π

<h3>How to solve trigonometric inequality?</h3>

We are given the trigonometric Inequality;

2 sin(x) + 3 > sin²(x)

Rearranging gives us;

sin²(x) - 2 sin(x) - 3 < 0

Factorizing this gives us;

(sin(x) - 3)(sin(x) + 1) < 0

Thus;

sin(x) - 3 = 0 or sin(x) + 1 = 0

sin(x) = 3 or sin(x) = -1

sin(x) = 3 is not possible because sin(x) ≤ 1.

Thus, we will work with;

sin(x) = -1 for the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π radians.

Then, x = sin⁻¹(-1)

x = 3π/2.

Now, if we split up the solution domain into two intervals, we have;

from 0 ≤ x < 3π/2, at x = 0. Then;

sin²(0) - 2 sin(0) - 3

= 0² - 0 - 3

= -3 < 0

Thus, the interval 0 ≤ x < 3π/2 is true.

From 3π/2 < x ≤ 2π, take x = 2π. Then;

sin²(2π) - 2 sin(2π) - 3

= 0² - 0 - 3

= -3 < 0

Thus, the interval 3π/2 < x ≤ 2π is also true.
