Answer:

She would need to leave the money in her account for 6 years and 8 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P.

In this question:

She put 500 into the saving account, so P = 500

7.5% annual interest, so I = 0.075

Saving $750. So we need T = 750.

Interest earned:

T = E + P

750 = E + 500

E = 250

How long to earn $250 in interest, in years:

E = P*I*t

250 = 500*0.075*t

t = \frac{250}{500*0.075}

t = 6.67

Converting to months:

6.67 years, that is, 6 years and (2/3) of an year.

An year has 12 months.

(2/3)*12 = 8.

So

She would need to leave the money in her account for 6 years and 8 months.

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(15) + 8]

= 3 + 2 ⋅ [23]

= 3 + 46

The line with equation y = 2 x + 3 is reflected in the x -axis. Which of the following is the equation of the new line?
aliina [53]

Answer:

The equation of the new line is y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflecting a function over the x-axis:

Suppose we have a function y = f(x)

Suppose y' is the function y, reflected over the x-axis. Their relation is:

y' = -y

In this question:

Line with equation y = 2x + 3

Reflection over the x-axis:

We have that:

y = -(2x + 3) = -2x - 3

The equation of the new line is y = -2x - 3
