Answer:

$y-4 = \frac{11}{5} (x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ to find the slope. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(4)-(-7)}{(-4)-(-9)} \\m = \frac{4+7}{-4+9} \\m = \frac{11}{5} \\$

Thus, the slope is $\frac{11}{5}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula, or $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ .

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $\frac{11}{5}$ for it. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point on the line, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, the equation will represent the same line) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-4, 4) as seen below.) Make sure to simplify the double negatives to positives. This gives the following answer in point-slope form:

$y-(4) = \frac{11}{5} (x-(-4))\\y-4 = \frac{11}{5} (x+4)$

Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the geometric sequence - 2,6,-18,54,-162....

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Sure, the common difference is -3, but like you have to multiple it and stuff, so it goes like this: -2,6,-18,54,-162,486,-1458,4374,-13122,39366,-118,098,354294.

So then, add all of the 12 terms I stated, and that will equal to 265,720

Therefore, the sum of the first 12 terms of that geometric sequence is 265,720.

Write and solve a real-world word problem in which there are 3 tables for every 8 chairs.

alekssr [168]

That means there are 24 chairs. What you would do is multiply 8 by 3 which gives you 24.

As Sales Manager for ISeeYou Productions, you are planning to review the prices you charge clients for television advertisement

aksik [14]

The development fee p can be modeled by the equation p=-400q+9600 where p is the price the company charges and q is the number of contracts they get. The total revenue R ISeeYou obtains by signing q contracts is found by using the function: $R(q)=-400q^{2}+9600q$ . The cost ISeeYou Productions can be found by using the following function: C(q)=800q+16000. The monthlhy profit of Express ISeeYou Productions if found with the next function: $P(q)=-400p^{2}+8800q-16000$ . ISeeYou should sign 2 or 20 contracts to break even.

a) In order to solve part a of the problem, we will suppose the price will have a linear relation with the amount of contracts they signed, so we need to find two points to build this function.

We know that when signing 6 contracts, the company charges $7,200, so our first point will be:

(6, 7200)

we also know that the company signs 14 contracts when they charge $4,000. So our second point is:

(14, 4000)

so we can use these points to find the slope of the line by using the

slope formula:

$m=\frac{p_{2}-p_{1}}{q_{2}-q_{1}}$

$m=\frac{4000-7200}{14-6}$

so the slope is:

m=-400

We can now use one of those points and the slope to find the function for the price, so we get:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$p-p_{1}=m(q-q_{1})$

if we used the point: (6, 7200) we get:

$p-7200=-400(q-6)$

which can now be simplified:

p=-400q+2400+7200

so the price function is:

p=-400q+9600

b) In order to find the revenue equation we need to multiply the price equation by the amount of contracts they signed in a month, so we get:

R(q)=pq

$R(q)=(-400q+9600)q$

$R(q)=-400q^{2}+9600q$

c) The cost can be found by adding the fixed cost and the variable cost, so we get:

C(q)=800q+16000

d) The profit is found by subtracting the montly cost from the monthly revenue, so we get:

P(q)=R(q)-C(q)

$P(q)=-400q^{2}+9600q-(800q+16000)$

so we can now simplify our function to get:

$P(q)=-400q^{2}+9600q-800q-16000$

$P(q)=-400q^{2}+8800q-16000$

e) In order to find the number of contracts for the company to break even, we need to find the q contracts that will give a profit of $0 so we set the function of the previous part of the problem equal to zero so we get:

$P(q)=-400q^{2}+8800q-16000$

$-400q^{2}+8800q-16000=0$

we can start by factoring a -400 from the left side so we get:

$-400(q^{2}-22q+40)=0$

we can divide both sides of the equation into -400 to simplify the equation so we get:

$q^{2}-22q+40=0$

and now we can factor the left side of the equation to get:

(q-20)(q-2)=0

we can now split this into two equations to get:

q-2=0 and q-20=0

so our two answers are:

q=2 and q=20

the company will break even when signing 2 and 20 contracts.

In the attached picture you will be able to see the break even points on the graph of revenue and cost.

A golf ball is hit off a tee toward the green. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = −16t2 + 96t, where t equ

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

t = 3; It takes the ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the axis of symmetry, we need to find the vertex by turning this equation into vertex form (this is y = a(x - c)² + d where (c, d) is the vertex). To do this, we can use the "completing the square" strategy.

h(t) = -16t² + 96t

= -16(t² - 6t)

= -16(t² - 6t + 9) - (-16) * 9

= -16(t - 3)² + 144

Therefore, we know that the vertex is (3, 144) so the axis of symmetry is t = 3. Since the coefficient of the squared term, -16, is negative, it means that the vertex is the maximum. We know that it takes the golf ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height (since the t value of the vertex is 3) and because the vertex is on the axis of symmetry, it would take 3 more seconds for the ball to fall to the ground, therefore it takes 3 + 3 = 6 seconds to fall to the ground. The final answer is "t = 3; It takes the ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground.".
