The formula for compound interest, compounded once per year, is:

A = P(1+r)^t, where r is the annual interest rate as a decimal fraction and t is the number of years.

If interest is compounded twice per year, then the above formula is changed to:

A = P(1+r/2)^(2t), where the '2' indicates twice-per-year compounding.

If interest is compounded n times per year, then the above formula is changed to:

A = P(1+r/n)^(nt).

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=2/3x and passes through origin

sesenic [268]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

$\bf y = \cfrac{2}{3}x\implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x+0\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=-\cfrac{3}{2}x$

It would be a 12.5% increase. First you find her monthly wages: $10.50 x 160 hours= $1680 a month. Her insurance is $210/month. So you need to find what percentage 210 is of 1680. So $1680*x=210$ . Solve for x by dividing 1680 on both sides and you get 0.125. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage and you get 12.5%. Check your answer by multiplying 1680 x 0.125 and you get 210.
