dedylja [7]

Answer:

No, equivalent quarterly rate will be approx 1.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Chan deposited money into his retirement account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of 7%.

We know that there are 4 quarters in 1 year.

So to find that equivalent quarterly we will divide given yearly rate by number of quarters.

That means divide 7% by 4.

which gives 1.75%.

But that is different than Chan's though of 2% quarterly interest.

Hence Chan is wrong.

The varsity basketball team started selling T-shirts online in 1994. The number of T-shirts sold online, s, is modeled by the gr

-Dominant- [34]

(PART-A): s-intercept in this case represents the y-intercept of the graph, whereas the t-intercept in this case represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Always remember that y-intercept represents the value of y where the curve (or line) crosses the y-axis, and x-intercept represents the value of x where the curve (or line) crosses the x-axis.

In the graph attached with the question, at point (0,6) the curve crosses the y-axis. Therefore, the y-intercept (s-intercept) in this case is 6. It means that in year 2000 (t=0), 6 hundred shirts were sold.

However, there is no point on the graph where the curve crosses the x-axis, meaning there is no x-intercept (t-intercept). It means that there is not a single year when the number of shirts sold is 0.

(PART B): As you can see in the graph (attached with the question) that the f(t) is increasing (exponentially) with the increase in t. Therefore, we can safely say that as t increases without bound, the f(t) increases (also). In this context, it means that the sale of shirts increases as the years go by. Hence, the correct blank is "increases."

(PART C): The average rate of change is actually the slope. To find the slope, we can use the following formula:

slope = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ --- (X)

Given points: (5, 12.5) and (7, 22). Plug the values in equation (X),

slope = $\frac{22-12.5}{7-5} = 4.75$

Hence, the average rate of change for the function between t=5 and t=7 is 4.75 (answer).

(PART D): This part is bit tricky. Therefore, read the explanation carefully!

You can see in the graph that number of Shirts sold is in hundreds. It means that 1 unit (of y-axis in a graph) represents 100 shirts. Therefore, as in the question it is mentioned that there are 1000 T-shirts sold, it will become 10 units (since 10*100 = 1000). So, the function g(t) will become the following:

$g(t) = f(t) + 10$ --- (Y)

Why did I add f(t)? Because in the question, the word "and" is underlined. It means that g(t) represents not only 1000 T-shirts (10*100 = 1000) sold at the basketball games each year, but it also has the number of T-shirts sold ONLINE, which is f(t).

Now insert f(t) in (Y) and solve:

$g(t) = f(t) + 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 5+ 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 15$

Hence, g(t) is $(1.5)^t + 15$

the sum of −2x2 + x + 31 and 3x2 + 7x − 8 can be written in the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. What is the

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$a+b+c=32$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(-2x^{2} +x+31)+(3x^{2}+7x-8)$

Adds the terms

Group terms that contain the same variable

$(-2x^{2}+3x^{2})+(x+7x)+(31-8)$

Combine like terms

$(x^{2})+(8x)+(23)$

where

$a=1,b=8,c=23$

therefore

$a+b+c=1+8+23=32$

Simplify: cos2x-cos4 all over sin2x + sin 4x

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}$

Apply formula:

$\cos\left(A\right)-\cos\left(B\right)=-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)$ and

$\sin\left(A\right)+\sin\left(B\right)=2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)$

We get:

$=\frac{-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}$
