Step 1. The information that we have is:
The final amount that Michael wants to save is:
[tex]A=55,000[/tex]We will call that amount A.
The annual percentage rate of the investment, which we will label as r, is:
[tex]r=8.5[/tex]We will need this annual percentage rate represented as a decimal number, therefore, we divide it by 100:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=8.5/100 \\ r=0.085 \end{gathered}[/tex]The time of the investment, t, is 3 years:
[tex]t=3[/tex]And it is compounded daily, let n be the number of times of compounding in a year:
[tex]n=365[/tex]Step 2. We need to find the initial amount of the investment, which will be called P or principal.
The formula we will use to find it is:
[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]Step 3. Substituting the known values:
[tex]55,000=P(1+\frac{0.085}{365})^{(365)(3)}[/tex]From this equation, we need to solve the operations and solve for P, the principal amount of the investment.
Step 4. Simplifying the equation:
[tex]55,000=P(1+0.0002328767)^{1095}[/tex]Continue simplifying:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 55,000=P(1.0002328767)^{1,095} \\ 55,000=P(1.2904233) \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, we solve for P:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{55,000}{1.2904233}=P \\ 42,621.6726=P \end{gathered}[/tex]Rounding to the nearest cent (2 decimal places) The amount that he needs to invest is $42,621.67

Solve for x using trigonometry. Round to the nearest tenth. (hint: One decimal place) 17 x 19

Which is the best interpretation of the averagerate of change of this function?
We can calculate the rate of change as the slope between two points, like (1,2) and (2,4).
The slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{4-2}{2-1}=\frac{2}{1}=2[/tex]If this is a linear function, this slope m has to be constant.
We will calculate the slope between other points, like (3,8) and (4,16):
[tex]m=\frac{y_4-y_3}{x_4-x_3}=\frac{16-8}{4-3}=\frac{8}{1}=8[/tex]The slope is not constant, so this function is not a linear function.
If we look at how f(x) increases, we can prove that f(x) is:
[tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]and this function is an exponential function.

the answer is 16114. If plane X averages 800 mph and plane Y averages 400 mph, how manyhours will plane X travel before it overtakes plane Y if plane Y has a 2 hourand 30 minute head start?a.1b. 2c. 5d. 72
To determine the time taken for the plane X to travel:
If plane X averages 800 mph and plane Y averages 400 mph
Distance column is found by multiplying the rate
by time.
The time taken for plane Y to travel = 2hr 30 minutes = 2.5hrs head start
Be sure to distribute the 400(t +2.5)for Plane Y,
and Plane X to distribute 800t
As they cover the same distance
[tex]\begin{gathered} Dis\tan ce\text{ is equal ,} \\ 800t=400(t+2.5) \\ 800t=400t+1000 \\ 800t-400t=1000 \\ 400t=1000 \\ t=\frac{1000}{400} \\ t=2\frac{1}{2}hr \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the plane X will travel for 2 1/2 hours
Hence the correct answer is Option B

What is fraction?The fractional bar is a horizontal bar that divides the numerator and denominator of every fraction into these two halves.
The number of parts into which the whole has been divided is shown by the denominator. It is positioned in the fraction's lower portion, below the fractional bar.How many sections of the fraction are displayed or chosen is shown in the numerator. It is positioned above the fractional bar in the upper portion of the fraction.Given:
Sharon spent reading the book = [tex]1 \frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 5/4 hours
= 25/20 hours
Sharon spend doing homework = [tex]2 \frac{2}{5}[/tex] = 12/5 hours
= 48/20 hours
So, the difference between both activities
= 48/20- 25/20
= 23/20
Hence, sharon spent 23/20 hour doing her homework than reading.

A can of diced tomatoes has a height of 11.5 cm and a diameter of 10 cm. What is the volume of the can? Use 3.14 for pie.DO NOT round your answer.
Answer:
902.75 cubic cm.
Explanation:
Given a can with:
• Height, h = 11.5 cm
,• Diameter = 10 cm
A can is in the shape of a cylinder; and the volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula:
[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]First, find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.
[tex]r=\frac{10}{2}=5\;cm[/tex]Next, substitute r=5, h=11.5 and π=3.14 into the formula given above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=3.14\times5^2\times11.5 \\ =902.75\text{ cubic cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The volume of the can is 902.75 cubic cm.

21. A seamstress made 3 different skirts out of the same material. Each skirt required a dif- ferent amount of material. The chart below shows the number of yards y required for each skirt and the total cost C of the ma- terial. What is the equation for finding the cost per skirt made from the same material? Skirt А B C у 2.5 3.5 4 C С $15.60 $21.84 $24.96
Could you please share the chart the problem refers to?
We are asked to find an equation that gives the cost (C) of the skirt as a function of the number of yards (y) of material used.
The information given is:
y = 2.5 then C = $15.60
y = 3.5 then C = $21.84
y = 4 then C = $24.96
when the cost is $15.60, the amount of material in yards is 2.5 yards
so let's find the cost per yard as the quotient cost in $ divided by yard of material
Cost/yards = $21.84/3.5 = 6.24 $ per yard
The quotient gives the same value for all the three cases:
$15.60 / 2.5 = $6.24 per yard
$24.96 / 4 = $6.24 per yard
then the cost is going to be given by the equation:
C = 6.24 * y
This is the equation they asked you to find (naming "C" the cost, and "y" the number of yards of material used.
The equation contains ""unknowns"
Recall that the question is:
What is the equation for finding the cost per skirt made from the same material?
So they want a mathematical formula/equation that allows everyone to estimate the cost (C) given the number of yards of mwterial used (y)
So if you give the following equation (called equation because it must contain an "equal" sign):
C = 6.24 * y

The research company concluded that about 50% of the residents ofMississippl would purchase the new product. Identify a problem with the study.The conclusion is based on a small sample.
The main problem of the research conducted is the number of participants who polled for the new product. If we want to conduct a study that represents a state, the number of participants must be close as possible to the total population of the state. Of course, 24 participants is very small sample size when we compare it to the population of the state, which means we cannot easily conclude that 50% of the residents would like to purchase the new product based on just 24 participants.

Step-by-step explanation:
the for me qualifying or disqualifying term is the constant term as the product and sum of all the constant parts.
the general form has the constant parts
... + 1 = 0

let's start from the bottom : the 4th answer option.
the constant parts are
... + (-1/5)² + ... + (3/2)² = 121/100
... + 1/25 + ... + 9/4 = 121/100
... + 0.04 + ... + 2.25 = 1.21
... + 2.29 - 1.21 = ... + 1.08
and NOT 1. so, this is wrong.
the 3rd answer option.
... + (-1/3)² + ... + (-3/2)² = 221/100
... + 1/9 + ... + 9/4 = 221/100
... + 0.111111... + ... + 2.25 = 2.21
... + 0.111111... + ... + 2.25 - 2.21 = 0
... + 0.111111... + ... + 0.04 = 0
... + 0.111111 + 0.04 = 0.15111111...
and NOT 1. so, this is wrong.
the 2nd answer option.
... + (-1/5)² + ... + (3/2)² = 229/100
... + 1/25 + ... + 9/4 = 229/100
... + 0.04 + ... + 2.25 = 2.29
... + 2.29 - 2.28 = ... + 0
and NOT 1. so, this is wrong.
the first answer option.
... + (-1/5)² + ... + (3/2)² = 129/100
... + 1/25 + ... + 9/4 = 129/100
... + 0.04 + ... + 2.25 = 1.29
... + 2.29 - 1.29 = ... + 1
this IS 1. so, this is correct.
this corresponds now to the original
... + 1 = 0

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points of (5,3) (5.-9)
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
slope = (-9 - 3)/(5 - 5)
slope = -12/0
Since the slope calculation involves division by zero, this line has undefined slope. The two points have the same x-coordinate, so the line is vertical. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

[tex]\begin{gathered} d=3-7=-4 \\ \\ d=-1-3=-4 \\ \\ d=-5-(-1)=-5+1=-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the common difference in this arithmetic sequence is d = -4.
Finding the formula for the arithmetic sequenceWe know that the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]For this case, we have that d = -4, and that the first term, a1 = 7. Then we have the formula for the arithmetic sequence:
[tex]a_n=7+(n-1)(-4)[/tex]Notice that we can expand this expression as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=7+(-4)(n)+(-4)(-1) \\ \\ a_n=7-4n+4 \\ \\ a_n=11-4n \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Finding the 20th termThen to find the 20th term of the sequence, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_{20}=7+(20-1)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7+(19)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7-76=-69 \\ \\ a_{20}=-69 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, in summary, we have that the value for the 20th term of the sequence 7, 3, -1, and -5 is -69.
