Answer:y = -3x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line that passes through two points, we have to first find the slope between the two equation. We can do this by using the slope formula:

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the two points that we are finding the slope between.

Lets make (x₁, y₁) equal to (0, 10) and (x₂, y₂) equal to (3, 1). Now we plug them into the slope formula:

So the slope between the two points is -3.

From here, I would normally take one of the points given to us and plug in the point and slope into the point-slope form of a line and then simplify until we get it in slope-intercept form. But if you look carefully, the y-intercept is given to us as the point (0, 10). So we now know that the y-intercept of the line is 10. We can now take the y-intercept and the slope and plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line to get out equation:

y = mx + b

plug in -3 for m (the slope) and 10 for b (the y-intercept)

y = -3x + 10

So now we have our equation.

I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)

Peter puts 8000 into a savings account that pays 6% interest, compounded continuously. After 5 years, Peter will have ( $)

guajiro [1.7K]

We have to calculate the amount of money Peter will have in his account after 5 years. Formula for the amount after t years with interest compounded continuously : A = P * e ^(rt)
We know that r = 0.06, t=5, e = 2.71 and p= $8,000
A = 8,000 * 2,718 ^(0.06 * 5) = 8,000 * 2,718 ^ (0.3) = 8,000 * 1.3488158 = 10,798.53 so the answer is 10,798.53

For the function below, find a formula for the upper sum obtained by dividing the interval [a comma b ][a,b] into n equal subin

Vlad [161]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by dividing the interval [0,4] into n sub-intervals of length 4/n

$[0,\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}],[\displaystyle\frac{4}{n},\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n}],[\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n},\displaystyle\frac{3*4}{n}],...,[\displaystyle\frac{(n-1)*4}{n},4]$

Since f is increasing in the interval [0,4], the upper sum is obtained by evaluating f at the right end of each sub-interval multiplied by 4/n.

Geometrically, these are the areas of the rectangles whose height is f evaluated at the right end of the interval and base 4/n (see picture)

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}f(\displaystyle\frac{1*4}{n})+\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}f(\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n})+...+\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}f(\displaystyle\frac{n*4}{n})=\\\\=\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}((\displaystyle\frac{1*4}{n})^2+3+(\displaystyle\frac{2*4}{n})^2+3+...+(\displaystyle\frac{n*4}{n})^2+3)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{4}{n}((1^2+2^2+...+n^2)\displaystyle\frac{4^2}{n^2}+3n)=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{n^3}(1^2+2^2+...+n^2)+12$

but

$1^2+2^2+...+n^2=\displaystyle\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$

so the upper sum equals

$\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{n^3}(1^2+2^2+...+n^2)+12=\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{n^3}\displaystyle\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}+12=\\\\\displaystyle\frac{4^3}{6}(2+\displaystyle\frac{3}{n}+\displaystyle\frac{1}{n^2})+12$
