A vendor at the State Fair has learned that, by pricing his deep fried bananas on a stick at $1.00, sales will reach 82 bananas

per day. Raising the price to $1.75 will cause the sales to fall to 52 bananas per day. Let y be the number of bananas the vendor sells at x dollars each. Write a linear equation that models the number of bananas sold per day when the price is x dollars each.

Answer:

Y=-40x+122

Step-by-step explanation:

hello

Due to the nature of the data, it is most convenient to model this problem as a linear function.

To solve this problem we must use the equation that defines a line, then start assigning the corresponding values

y1=82bananas per day

X1=1 dolar

y2=52bananas per day

x2=1.75dolar

line ecuation

y − y 1 = m(x − x 1 )

where

m=slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} =\frac{52-82}{1.75-1}=-40

solving:

Y-82=-40(x-1)

Y=-40x+40+82

Y=-40x+122

let's try the result!

Price =1dolar

Y=-40(1)+122=82bananas per day

Price=1.75dolar

Y=-40(1.75)+122=52bananas per day

For her 1st birthday, Ruth's grandparents invested $1000 in an 18-year certificate for her that pays 10% compounded annually. Ho
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The certificate will be worth $5,559.92 on Ruth's 19th birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

In this problem, we have that:

P = 1000, n = 1, r = 0.1, t = 18

So

A = 1000(1 + \frac{0.1}{1})^{1*18}

A = 5559.92

The certificate will be worth $5,559.92 on Ruth's 19th birthday.

Someone please help me answer this!!
dybincka [34]

Answer:

17.9 units is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

points are (-7,-2) and (9,6)

Pythagorean theorem can be written as,

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{9-(-7))^2 + (6-(-2))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(16)^2+(8)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{256+64} \\\\d=\sqrt{320} \\\\d=17.88

Rounding off,

d = 17.9 units
