If Heather puts in 1.36% of her salary into a retirement account and she makes $63,000 in a year, this can be solved by 1.36% x 63000. First convert 1.36% into a decimal. To do this, divide by 100.
1.36/100=0.0136
1.36% x 63000
=0.0136 x 63000
=856.8
Heather would put $856.8 in for the whole year. To find how much per month, divide by 12.
856.8/12=71.<span>4
</span>Rounded to the nearest dollar is $71.
Heather would put $71 into a retirement account each month.
<em>
</em><em>Note: This was solved by multiply the percent and then dividing by 12 months. You could also do this by dividing by 12 months first and then multiplying the percent.</em>
Answer: b
Explanation:
The line of best fit to a scattergram is obtained in linear regression analysis by minimizing the sum of the squared errors.
For example, in the diagram shown below, there are n data points in the scattergram.
The error for the i-th data point is
.
The coefficients (a and b) for the line of best fit are determined using calculus, to minimize
.
Answer: m = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
2m² + 16 = 2m
2m² - 2m = 16
m = 16
Answer:
8.6 × 10^5
Step-by-step explanation:
New Jersey 8th graders = 920,000
Rhode island 8th graders = 60,000
Difference in Rhode island 8th graders and New Jersey 8th graders population
= 920,000 - 60,000
= 860,000
Answer in scientific notation
860,000
The decimal point will move 5 places in
= 8.6 × 10^5
Answer:
f(2) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
f(0) = 3
and
f(n+1) = -f(n) + 5
We have to find the value of f(2). In order to find f(2) we first have to find f(1)
f(n + 1) = - f(n) + 5
Using n = 0, we get:
f(0 + 1) = - f(0) + 5
f(1) = -f(0) + 5 Using the value of f(0), we get
f(1) = -3 + 5 = 2
Now using n = 1 in the function, we get:
f(1 + 1) = - f(1) + 5 Using the value of f(1), we get
f(2) = -2+ 5
f(2) = 3
Thus the value of f(2) will be 3
