Answer:

4.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving our equation

r = 108 / ( 480 × 5 ) = 0.045

r = 0.045

converting r decimal to a percentage

R = 0.045 * 100 = 4.5%/year

The interest rate required to

accumulate simple interest of $ 108.00

from a principal of $ 480.00

over 5 years is 4.5% per year.

What are the x– and y–intercepts of the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x – 10?

Nadya [2.5K]

x-intercepts are found by setting y=0
$y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow0=2x^2-8x-10$
factor out a 2 $0=2(x^2-4x-5)\rightarrow0=x^2-4x-5$
 $0=(x-5)(x+1)$ roots should be x=-1,5
therefore, x-intercepts are (-1,0) and (5,0)

y-intercepts are found by setting x=0
$y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow y=2(0)^2-8(0)-10$
$\rightarrow y=0-0-10=-10$
therefore, y-intercept is (0,-10)

Determine whether the following event is mutually exclusive or not mutually exclusive.

Softa [21]

Answer:

The event is mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot exist simultaneously.

Thus, events that are not mutually exclusive can exist simultaneously.

Since each student only has one major, a single student cannot be both a mathematics major and a business major.

So, the event is mutually exclusive.
