Answer:

y^2-6y = 0

or, y(y-6) = 0

or, y = 0 or y = 6

n^2+5n+7 = 7

or, n^2+5n+7-7 = 7-7 ( Subtracting 7 from both sides)

or, n^2+5n = 0

or, n(n+5) = 0

or, n=0 or n= -5

2t^2-14t+3 = 3

or, 2t^2-14t = 0

or, 2t(t-7) = 0

or, t=0 or t=7

1/3x^2+3x-4 = -4

or, 1/3x^2+3x = 0

or, 1/3x(x+9) = 0

or, x=0 or x= -9

Zero is a common solution to each of the equations. This is because each of the equations had a variable outside the parenthesis with an operation of multiplication.

There is $500 in Holly's bank account. She takes out $50 from her account each month but doesn't put money back in. What is the

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The rate of change or slope m = -50

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the rate of change or slope

b is the y-intercept

Given that there is $500 in Holly's bank account.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 500

It is stated that she takes out $50 from her account each month but doesn't put money back in.

It means the rate of change or slope is decreasing.

Thus, the rate of change or slope m = -50

<u>EXTRA BONUS!</u>

We can also determine the line equation by substituting m = -50 and b = 500 in the slope-intercept form

$y = mx+b$

y = -50x + 500

Here:

The slope m = -50

The y-intercept = 500

You choose a tile at random from a bag containing 4 A’s, 3 B’s, and 5 C’s. You replace the first tile in the bad and then choose

shtirl [24]

Answer:

P(B and B) = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4+3+5 = 12 tiles in total

The probability of selecting a B would be 4/12=1/3

When you are replacing a B tile, planning to pick a B tile again, the total tile count doesn't change. Therefore, because the two events are independent, their probabilities are multiplied and so P(B and B) = P(B) * P(B) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

the price of the cell phone is expected to increase by 165% in September 2015. The current price of a cell phone is $62.80. What

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$166.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the price of the cell phone is expected to increase by 165% in September 2015. The current price of a cell phone is $62.80.

The price of cell phone in September 2015 will be $62.80 plus 165% of $62.80.

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$62.80+(\frac{165}{100}*\$62.80)$

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$62.80+(1.65*\$62.80)$

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$62.80+\$103.62$

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$166.42$

Therefore, the predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015 will be $166.42.

Which graph represents an exponential function?

geniusboy [140]

Answer:The function that represents an exponential function is the 4th graph and it can be modeled as y = aeᵇˣ.

What are exponential functions?

The exponential functions are written in the form of y = aeᵇˣ, where the output y increases exponentially for the input x.

In order to find the graph that represents an exponential function, we will discuss each of the following graphs,

For the 1st graph, (Black),

In the first graph, the graph is of a parabola, and the function which represents this kind of graph is a quadratic equation, therefore, this graph represents a parabolic equation. It is given by the function,

y=ax²+bx+c or y=a(x-h)²+k

For the 2nd graph, (Red),

In the second graph, the graph represented is the graph of a reciprocal function, the function that can be represented by the graph,

y=a/x + b

For the 3rd graph, (Blue),

In the third graph, the graph represented is the graph of root function, it can be modeled as,

y = a+√(x+b)

For the 4th graph, (Green),

In the fourth graph, the graph represented is the graph of an exponential function, and it can be modeled as,

y = aeᵇˣ

Hence, the function that represents an exponential function is the 4th graph and it can be modeled as y = aeᵇˣ.
