The percentage of high school students who drink and drive stood at 17.5% at the beginning of 2001 and declined linearly to 10.3

Based on this data the point representing percentage of students who drink and drive in 2001 will be (1, 17.5).

The point representing the data of 2011 will be (11, 10.3). 

We have two points. Using these two points we can find the equation of the line.

Slope of the line = \frac{10.3-17.5}{11-1} =-0.72

Using the point slope form of the line equation:

f(t) - 17.5 = -0.72 ( t - 1 ) \\  \\ 
f(t) = - 0.72t + 0.72 + 17.5 \\  \\ 
f(t) = -0.72t +18.22

The linear function given above gives the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in year t, where t = 0 corresponds to year 2000.

Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not
4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back x=4, we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.

$10,000 is invested at two different rates. $2,500 is invested at 4%, and the rest is invested at 5%. How much interest is earne
worty [1.4K]
I'm assuming this is a yearly interest.

2500*.04=100
7500*.05=375

so that would be $475 earned from interest
