Answer:

c. y + 1 = -⅕(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in point-slope form, we need to know the slope (m) and coordinates of a point the line passes through.

The equation would be in the form of y - b = m(x - a).

(a, b) = (2, -1)

Since the line is perpendicular to y = 5x + 3, the slope will be the negative reciprocal of 5 which is -⅕

m = -⅕.

Substitute a = 2, b = -1, and m = -⅕ into y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - (-1) = -⅕(x - 2)

y + 1 = -⅕(x - 2)

Answer:

$a^8b^{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

when you raise an exponent to a power you multiply

Also since the terms inside the parenthesis are multiplied and not added, you don't have to worry about expanding it

$(a^2b^3)^4 = a^{2*4}b^{3*4}=a^8b^{12}$

What initial investment must be made to accumulate $60000 in 17 years if the money is invested in a mutual fund that pays 12% an

mars1129 [50]

$7881.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial Investment be $P_{0}$ . The Interest is compounded on a monthly basis at 12% annual interest rate. After 17 years, the Investment amounts to $60,000.

As the annual interest rate is 12%, the monthly interest rate is 1%.

Since this is a compound interest problem, the total amount can be modeled as follows: $P(t)=P_{0}(1+\frac{i}{100})^{t}$

Here $i$ is the interest rate, i.e $1$ , and t is the number of time periods, i.e $17\textrm{ years x }12\frac{\textrm{months}}{\textrm{year}}$ = $204\textrm{ months}$

$60,000=P_{0}\textrm{ x }(\frac{101}{100})^{204}$

$P_{0}=7881.18$

∴ Initial Investment = $7881.18

<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

Given that:-

The boy is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 3.5 feet above the ground and
letting all the kite's strings play out. He measures the angle of elevation from his hand to the kite to be 29°. If the string from the kite to his hand is 110 feet long, what is the total vertical height?
