Answer:

< "less than sign"

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 is 0.125 in decimal form.

1/2 is 0.5 in decimal form.

Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/8 so you would use the less than symbol (<) for a final answer of 1/8<1/3.

< is correct (less than) because 1/2 is greater then 1/8

9. Alicia Martin's savings account has a principle of $1,200. It earns 6% interest compounded quartly

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$9) \$1236.27\,10)\,\$6451.07\, 11)\,\$10,152.87 \,12)\,\$907.95 \,13)\,\$4957.69$

Step-by-step explanation:

9) Since Alicia Martin's savings earns 6% quarterly for two quarters then:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ ⇒ Amount (A), Principle (P), rate (r) in decimal form, number of compoundings (n) a year and t, in year or its fractions.

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=1200(1+\frac{0.06}{4})^{4*\frac{1}{2}}\Rightarrow A=\$1236.27$

10) Aubrey Daniel's case:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=5725(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4*3}\Rightarrow A\approx \$6451.07$

11) As for Angelo, similarly to Alicia.

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=9855(1+\frac{0.06}{4})^{4*\frac{1}{2}}\Rightarrow A\approx \$10,152.87$

12) Simpson's. For semiannual n=2

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=860(1+\frac{0.055}{2})^{2*1}\Rightarrow A\approx \$907.95$

13) Jana Lacey amount:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=4860(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4*\frac{1}{2}}\Rightarrow A\approx \$4957.69$

HELP ME!! im so stumped. will give brainliest!

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$x=1+\sqrt{3}$ and $x=1-\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the parabola with vertex (1, -9) and y intercept at (0, -6).

Now we need to find the x-intercepts of that parabola. So first we begin by finding the equation of parabola using vertex formula:

$y=a\left(x-h\right)^2+k$

Vertex for this formula is given by (h,k)

Compare that with given vertex (1,-9), we get: h=1, k=-9

So plug these into vertex formula:

$y=a\left(x-1\right)^2-9$ ...(i)

Plug given point (0, -6). into (i)

$-6=a\left(0-1\right)^2-9$

$-6=a\left(-1\right)^2-9$

$-6=a\left(1\right)-9$

$-6+9=a$

$3=a$

Plug a=3 into (i)

$y=3\left(x-1\right)^2-9$

Now to find x-intercept, we just plug y=0 and solve for x

$y=3\left(x-1\right)^2-9$

$0=3\left(x-1\right)^2-9$

$9=3\left(x-1\right)^2$

$3=\left(x-1\right)^2$

$\pm \sqrt{3}=x-1$

$1+\pm \sqrt{3}=x$

Hence final answer are

$x=1+\sqrt{3}$ and $x=1-\sqrt{3}$

Which of the following is the equation of

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a) Option A is correct.

b) Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Which of the following is the equation of the line passing through the points (1, 1) and (-3,5)?

We will use the equation

(y-y₁)=m(x-x₁)

m= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

m= (5-1)/(-3-1)

m= 4/-4

m= -1

Consider point (1,1) and Putting value of m

(y-y₁)=m(x-x₁)

(y-1)=1(x-1)

y-1=x-1

y=x-1+1

y=x

So, Option A is correct.

b) Which of the following is the equation of a line with a slope of 0 passing through (2,5)?

The formula used is:

y= mx+b

Finding b:

5=0(2)+b

=> b = 5

So, equation is:

y = mx+b

y=0x+5

y=5

So, Option C is correct.
