Pls help!!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Simple! She earned $280

Step-by-step explanation:

3500 x 2 x 4 = 28000/100 = 280

In 10yrs operating on the same frequency of rate, she's gonna earn;

3500 x 10 x 4 = 140000/100 = $1,400.

Therefore, $1400 dollars is what she's gonna earn in 10 years time.

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

if x=0 => y = 2(0)+10= 10

y = mx + c

m = slope factor

=> y = 2x + 10

so, slope factor = 2

write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through (2,1) and (4,5)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=2x-3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the two given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the given points (2,1) and (4,5)

[tex]m=\frac{5-1}{4-2}\\m=\frac{4}{2}\\m=2[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] :

[tex]y=2x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=2x+b[/tex]

Plug in one of the given points and isolate b

[tex]1=2(2)+b\\1=4+b[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 4

[tex]1-4=4+b-4\\-3=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -3. Plug this into [tex]y=2x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=2x-3[/tex]

I hope this helps!

Answer:

y=2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}[/tex]

y2=5

y1=1

x2=4

x1=2

Solve.

5-1/4-2

Subtract.

5-1=4

4-2=2

Divide.

4/2=2

The slope is 2.

You have to solve with slope-intercept form.

[tex]\sf{y=mx+b}[/tex]

m represents the slope.

b represents the y-intercept.

y-intercept is -3.

[tex]\sf{\boxed{y=2x-3}[/tex]

So, the correct answer is y=2x-3.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! With 9, 10 and 11

Answers

Answer:

9. 6.6

10. 6

11. 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are legs, and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle).

For the first one, you're given the leg (3.1 in) and the eg (5.8 in), so you can substitute those into the equation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(3.1)^2 + (5.8)^2 = c^2

Then simplify

9.61 + 33.64 = c^2

43.25 = c^2

To isolate c, take the square root of both sides.

The square root of 43.25 is 6.57647322, but they want you to round it to the nearest tenth, so round it to 6.6

For the second one, you're given one leg length and the hypotenuse.

8^2 + b^2 = 10^2

64 + b^2 = 100

To solve for b, subtract 64 from both sides

b^2 = 36

and take the square root of both sides

b = 6

For the last one, you're given a leg length and the hypotenuse

a^2 + 4.3^2 = 9.9^2

a^2 + 18.49 = 98.01

to isolate a, subtract 18.49 from both sides

a^2 = 79.52

then take the square root of both sides

a = 8.91739872 which rounds to 8.9

I REALLY NEED HELP WITH PLINK A PLUNK

Answers

Therefore ,We can see that in equation 1 plunk yields the most lorgs at 30. So the plunk coin is the most valuable.

Describe equation.

A mathematical statement known as an equation is created by joining two expressions using the equivalent sign. For instance, 5x - 5 = 25 is an equation. We can find that the variable x has a value of 6  by resolving this equation.

Here,

we need to convert everything to the same unit in order to establish a legitimate comparison when comparing units like inches, feet, and yards. Therefore, we would have to convert everything, for example, to inches. For these five coins, the same concept holds true. Either lorgs, sinds, plunks, harps, or dalts must be used for everything (pick one of those five).

It's equivalent to attempting to change a dollar amount into cents (for example, $1.37 becomes 137 cents). The alternative is to think about it as 1 dollar = 100 cents, 1 quarter = 25 cents, 1 dime = 10 cents, and so on.

The procedures in the various parts below are designed to convert all coinage to lorgs, which will serve as our base unit. Trial and error led me to the conclusion that the lorg coin had the lowest worth, thus I'm striving to obtain everything in lorgs.

The four equations provided are

4 lorgs to a sind

5 dalts x 2 plunks

2 harps from 5 sinds.

3 harps equal 1 plunk.

In that order, I'll refer to them as equations (1) through (4).

One sind equals four logs (1)

5 sinds = 20 lorgs; add 5 to both sides.

2 harps = 20 lorgs; in the equation, swap out "5 sinds" with "2 harps" (3)

1 harp = 10 lorgs; multiply both sides by 2, then write this as an equation (5)

Equation: 1 plunk = 30 lorgs (6)

Each of those equations enables us to determine the lorg value of the coins sind, dalt, harp, and plunk.

Mark took a loan out for $25,690 to purchase a truck. At an interest rate of 5.2% compounded monthly, how much total will he have paid after 5 years?

$33,299.42
$34,710.88
$34,389.55

Answers

Is 33,299.42 ok good luck

The requried, Mark will have paid a total of $34,389.55 after 5 years. The answer is option E, $34,389.55.

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest on deposits computed on both the initial principal and the interest earned over time.

We can use the formula for compound interest to find the total amount Mark will have paid after 5 years:

[tex]A = P(1 + r/n)^{(nt)}[/tex]

where A is the total amount paid, P is the principal (the original loan amount), r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded, and t is the time in years.

In this case, we have:

P = $25,690

r = 0.052 (5.2% expressed as a decimal)

n = 12 (compounded monthly)

t = 5

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

[tex]A = $25,690(1 + 0.052/12)^{(12*5)}[/tex]

A = $34,389.55

Therefore, Mark will have paid a total of $34,389.55 after 5 years. The answer is closest to option E, $34,389.55.

The length of a circle or sphere, in more contemporary use, is the same as its radius in classical geometry, which is one of the line segments from its center to its circumference. The Latin word radius, which also refers to the spokes of a wagon wheel, gave rise to the term. The distance a circle's center is from any point on its perimeter is its radius. Usually, "R" or "r" is used to indicate it. A radius is a line segment that has one endpoint in the center and one on the circumference of a circle. Circular diameter equals radius The diameter of a circle is the segment that traverses its center and has ends that are on the circle. Diameter

suki has 54 rock songs 92 dance songs and 12 classical songs on her playlist what is the probability that the song will not be classical song

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the chosen song is not a classical song is 92.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Suki has 54 rock songs, 92 dance songs and 12 classical songs on her playlist, to determine what is the probability that the chosen song will not be a classical song, the following calculation must be performed:

54 + 92 + 12 = 158

158 - 12 = 146

158 = 100

146 = X

146 x 100/158 = X

14600/158 = X

92.4 = X

Therefore, the probability that the chosen song is not a classical song is 92.4%.
