3x−2y=12;−3x+8y=−6

Step: Solve3x−2y=12for x:

3x−2y=12

3x−2y+2y=12+2y(Add 2y to both sides)

3x=2y+12

3x

Heather makes $6.50 per hour. Every three months, she is eligible for a 2% raise. How much will she make after 2 years if she ge
sammy [17]

Answer:

$7.62 per hour


Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Heather gets a raise every 3 months, in 2 years, she will get a raise 8 times (2years = 24 months, 24 divided by 3 is 8).

Now it becomes a compound growth problem. We can use the formula shown below to solve these type of problems.

F=P(1+r)^t

Where,

  • F is the future value (what we want to find)
  • P is the present rate ($6.5)
  • r is the rate of growth, in decimal (2% growth means 0.02)
  • t is the time frame, number of times compounding occurs (for our case we have figured it to be 8)

<u>Now plugging in all the info, we get the value of F:</u>

F=P(1+r)^t\\F=6.5(1+0.02)^8\\F=6.5(1.02)^8\\F=7.62


Thus, after 2 years, Heather's hourly rate will be $7.62

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

C. Cosine is negative in Quadrant III

<h2>Why?</h2>

Let's discard each given option in order to find the correct:

A. Tangent is negative in Quadrant I: It's false, all functions are positive in Quadrant I (0° to 90°).

B. Sine is negative in Quadrant II: It's false, sine is negative in positive in Quadrant II. Sine function is always positive coming from 90° to 180°.

C. Cosine is negative in Quadrant III. It's true, cosine and sine functions are negative in Quadrant III (180° to 270°), meaning that only tangent and cotangent functions will be positive in Quadrant III.

D. Sine is positive in Quadrant IV: It's false, sine is negative in Quadrant IV. Only cosine and secant functions are positive in Quadrant IV (270° to 360°)

Have a nice day!
