112 is the answer. I am not really sure what the parenthesis are for, but those answers in the parenthesis are wrong.
So let us analyze the given table above. In the first tax bracket, he doesn't have to pay tax on the dividends. The $565 he earned in dividends is not taxable as well. Also the common stock he bought for $705 since this is a long term evidence. So the only taxable would be <span>$780 in coupons on a corporate bond. So multiply this by 10% and you get $78. Therefore, the answer would be the first option. Hope this helps.</span>
Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
It would b 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
814,180. Hope I helped. If i didn't I am sos sorry. I would take 7.9 or .079 to 754,844 to get your number.
