Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 3x - 1

f(x) = -7

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    -7 = 3x - 1
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:              -6 = 3x
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                       -2 = x
  4. Rewrite:                        x = -2

First you plot in the y-intercept of the equation. To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 into x. -3m will cancel our giving you y=5. x=0, y=5, the first ordered pair is (0,5). Now after you plot in the y-intercept, use your slope, which is -3, to graph the points of the equation. Starting from (0,5), move down 3 spaces on the y-axis (because it’s -3) and you’ll end up at (0,2). Next move over 1 ( all slopes with just a whole number moves on the x-axis 1 since the whole number divided by 1 doesn’t change the slope number) to the right because it’s a negative linear equation so it’ll go downward. After moving right, you’ll get (1,2). Do a couple more points starting from (1,2) then the 3rd point ABD and so on to get 3 or more points to be able to draw a linear line.

Theresa Mitsoto invested $3,500 in a 3-year CD that paid 6.5% annual interest. She cashed out the CD at the end of two years wit
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$56.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount invested = principal, p = 3500

Interest rate, r = 6.5% = 0.065

Penalty on withdrawal = 3 month simple interest

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Time = 3 months = 3/12 = 0.25 years

Hence,

Simple interest = 3500 * 0.065 * 0.25

Simple interest = $56.875

Hence, penalty paid = $56.875

a football is fired upward with an initial speed of 800 feet per second. It is given that h=-12t^2+360t (h is the height of the
tangare [24]

Answer:

30 s

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball hits the ground h=0. To find the time t when this happens we must solve the equation h=0.

●h= 0

● -12t^2+360t =0

● t(-12t +360) = 0

● t = 0 or -12t +360 =0

● t=0 or -12t = -360

● t=0 or 12t =360

● t=0 or t=360/12

● t=0 or t= 30

The equation has two solutions.

The ball was fired with an initial speed of 800 feet per second so it cannot hit the ground at t=0.

So the ball hits the ground after 30 s.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$75.08

Step-by-step explanation:

x over 57.75 = 30 over 100

57.75 * 30

1732.5 / 100

17.325

57.75 + 17.325

75.075

Simplify = $75.08
