Ruben worked in a union motorcycle factory for 20 years before returning to school to become a paramedic instead. He is 45 now.

He has a pension from his previous employer, which would pay him $1500/month after his retirement at 65. Assuming he will live to 80 (which is slightly higher than the life expectancy for an American man) he would earn $270000 over 15 years. The company has stopped offering pensions and wants to buy out his pension today. Should Ruben accept a buyout offer of $125,000? Assume that he could invest the money at an interest rate of 3% with a monthly compounding.

There are 36 bikes in a store (18 pairs). 1 pair(s) are yellow, 3 pairs are red, and the rest are purple. If you took out a purp
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: 27/36

Step-by-step explanation: It says there are 36 bikes (18 pairs), meaning that there are 2 bikes per pair because 18 multiplied by 2 is 36.

1 pair (2 bikes) are yellow.

3 pairs (6 bikes) are red.

For purple, add yellow and red together: 2 + 6 = 8. Subtract the total number of bikes from this: 36 - 8 = 28 purple bikes.

If you take out 1 purple bike, this leaves you with 27. The probability of choosing a purple bike out of the total (36), is 27/36.

Please let me know if this is correct or wrong.

If a graph shows the function y=3x what are the coordinates of the intercepts
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

graph{3x+5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

x

intercept:  

x

=

−

5

3

 

y

intercept:  

y

=

5

Explanation:

For a linear graph, the quickest way to sketch the function is to determine the  

x

and  

y

intercepts and draw a line between the two: this line is our graph.

Let's calculate the  

y

intercept first:

With any function,  

y

intercepts where  

x

=

0

.

Therefore, substituting  

x

=

0

into the equation, we get:

y

=

3

⋅

0

+

5

y

=

5

Therefore, the  

y

intercept cuts through the point (0,5)

Let's calculate the  

x

intercept next:

Recall that with any function:  

y

intercepts where  

x

=

0

.

The opposite is also true: with any function  

x

intercepts where  

y

=

0

.

If we substitute  

y

=

0

, we get:

0

=

3

x

+

5

Let's now rearrange and solve for  

x

to calculate the  

x

intercept.

−

5

=

3

x

 

−

5

3

=

x

Therefore, the  

x

intercept cuts through the point  

(

−

5

3

,

0

)

.

Now we have both the  

x

and  

y

intercepts, all we have to do is essentially plot both intercepts on a set of axis and draw a line between them

The graph of the function  

y

=

3

x

+

5

:

PLLLLLLZZZZ HELP!! MULTIPLE CHOICE!!
liubo4ka [24]
First, set 2x+7 equal to 3x-7 since they are the same angle due to the parallel lines.

2x+7=3x-7
x=14

Then, since 2x+7 and 12y+1 equals 180, put it together to find y:

(2x+7)+(12y+1)=180
(2(14)+7)+(12y+1)=180
12y+1=145
12y=144
y=12

So, x=14 and y=12. Your answer should be C!

Answer:

<h2>10</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression \sqrt{10} * \sqrt{10}. To find the product of this two values, the following steps must be followed.

According to one of the law of indices, \sqrt{a} = a^{\frac{1}{2} }

\sqrt{10} * \sqrt{10}\\= 10^{\frac{1}{2} }* 10^{\frac{1}{2} }\\= 10^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}\\ = 10^{1} \\= 10

The product is 10
