Answer:

u = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8-7/2u=-7/4

Make a common denominator of 8 for all fractions.

7/8 - 28/8 u = -14/8

Multiply both sides by 8.

7 - 28u = -14

-28u = -21

u = -21/(-28)

u = 3/4

Answer:

r ≈ 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for r when n=2, we have ...

$A=P(1+r)^2\\\\\dfrac{A}{P}=(1+r)^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}=1+r\\\\\boxed{r=\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}-1}$

For the given values of A and P, the value of r is ...

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{5600}{5000}}-1=\sqrt{1.12}-1\approx 1.0583-1\\\\\boxed{r\approx 6\%}$

Use the function below to find F(-4).<br><br> F(x) = 2^x

Amiraneli [1.4K]

To answer this item, note that what needs to be done is to substitute -4 to all x's in the equation. That is,
F(x) = 2^x
will become,
F(-4) = 2^(-4) = 1/16 or 0.0625
