Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-10-(-2))/(9-(-1))

m=(-10+2)/(9+1)

m=-8/10

simplify

m=-4/5

Dream borrowed $500 at an interest rate of 8%. At the end of the loan period, she had to pay back $530. How long was the loan fo

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The loan was for 9 months only

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating the time taken for a loan om an interest to be paid back

To calculate this, we use the simple interest formula

Mathematically;

I = PRT/100

where P is the principal which is the amount borrowed and that is $500 according to the question

R is the rate which is 8% according to the question

Interest can be calculated by subtracting the principal from the amount paid back = 530-500 = 30$

We now plug these values into the equation

30 = (500 × 8× T)/100

100 × 30 = 4000T

T = 3000/4000

T = 0.75 (same as 0.75 × 12 months = 9 months)

From first principle find the derivative of logx

Archy [21]

Hello!

$\large\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx}logx = \frac{1}{xln10} }$

Recall that:

$logx$ can be rewritten as:

$log_{10}x$

Use the equation for the derivative of a log expression:

$\frac{dy}{dx}log_{a}u = \frac{1}{ulna} * u'$

Substitute in the values in the expression:

$logx = \frac{1}{xln10} * 1 = \frac{1}{xln10}$

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 6, −18, 54, −162, ...

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let $a_n$ represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

$a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......$

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

$a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$
