[tex]P=P_0\cdot e^{r\cdot t}[/tex]where P is the amount on the account after t years compounded at an interest rate r when Po is invested in an account.
then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8500=P_0\cdot e^{0.095\cdot14} \\ 8500=P_{0^{}}\cdot e^{1.33} \\ P_0=\frac{8500}{e^{1.33}} \\ P_0=2248.056\approx2248.06 \end{gathered}[/tex]- 9 = 12 what is the value of K?
For this case we have the following expression given:
k/3 -9 = 12
We can add 9 in both sides and we got:
k/3 = 12+9
k/3= 21
And if we multiply in both sides by 3 we got:
k = 21*3 = 63
A rectangular field is nine times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 1100 feet, whatare the dimensions of the field?The width of the field isfeet.The length of the field isfeet.
Given:
The perimeter of the rectangular field is 1100 feet.
According to the question,
l=9w
To find the dimensions:
Substitute l=9w in the perimeter formula,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(l+w)=1100 \\ 2(9w+w)=1100 \\ 20w=1100 \\ w=55\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the width of the rectangle is 55 feet.
The length of a rectangle is,
[tex]55\times9=495\text{ f}eet[/tex]Hence,
The width of the rectangle is 55 feet.
The length of a rectangle is 495 feet.
New York City mayor Michael made it his mission to reduce smoking in New York City. New York city’s adult smoking rate is 13.2%. In a random sample of 3932 New York City residents, how many of those people smoke? Round to the nearest integer

y=6/5x+9 how would I graph it
To graph this linear function, we can find both intercepts of the function. To achieve this, we need to solve the equation when y = 0 (for this function) (this will be the x-intercept), and then we need to solve the resulting equation for this function when x = 0 (this will be the y-intercept). Then, we will have two points for which we can graph the function - we need to remember that a line is defined by two points.
Then, we can proceed as follows:
1. Finding the x-intercept[tex]y=\frac{6}{5}x+9,y=0\Rightarrow0=\frac{6}{5}x+9[/tex]Then, we have:
a. Add -9 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\frac{6}{5}x=-9[/tex]b. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5/6:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}\frac{6}{5}x=-9\cdot\frac{5}{6}\Rightarrow x=-\frac{45}{6}=-\frac{15}{2}=-7.5[/tex]Therefore, the x-intercept is (-7.5, 0).
2. Finding the y-interceptWe have that x = 0 in this case. Then, we have:
[tex]y=\frac{6}{5}x+9\Rightarrow y=\frac{6}{5}(0)+9\Rightarrow y=9[/tex]Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, 9).
Now, we have the points (-7.5, 0) and (0, 9), and we can draw both points on the coordinate plane. The line will pass through these two points:

Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing 5 red balls and 6 blue balls. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of blue balls. Construct the probability distribution and histogram of the random variable Z.
ANSWER and EXPLANATION
Let R represent the number of red balls.
Let B represent the number of blue balls.
There are four possible outcomes when the balls are picked:
[tex]\lbrace RR,RB,BR,BB\rbrace[/tex]We have that Z is the random variable that represents the number of blue balls.
This implies that the possible values of Z are:
To construct the probability distribution, we have to find the probabilities of each of the outcomes:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(RR)=\frac{5}{11}*\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{11} \\ P(RB)=\frac{5}{11}*\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{11} \\ P(BR)=\frac{5}{11}*\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{11} \\ P(BB)=\frac{6}{11}*\frac{5}{10}=\frac{3}{11} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the probabilities for the possible outcomes of the random variable are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(Z=0)=\frac{2}{11} \\ P(Z=1)=\frac{3}{11}+\frac{3}{11}=\frac{6}{11} \\ P(Z=2)=\frac{3}{11} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the probability distribution is:
Now, let us plot the histogram:
That is the answer.

This type of function is non linear.
Define function.A mathematical phrase, rule, or law that establishes the link between an independent variable and a dependent variable (the dependent variable). A function, according to a technical definition, is a relationship between a set of inputs and a set of potential outputs, where each input is connected to precisely one output. You can tell if a relation is a function by looking at the inputs (the x-coordinates) and outputs (the y-coordinates). Keep in mind that each input has only one output in a function. A function is an equation with a single solution for y for each value of x. Each input of a particular type receives exactly one output when using a function.
Given,

The sum of two numbers is 51. One number is 15 more than the other. What is the smaller number. Try solving this by writing a system of equations and substitution.
Let's convert the given relationships into an equation.
Let's name the two number x and y.
The sum of the two numbers is 51: x + y = 51
One number is 15 more than the other: x = y + 15
Using the equations that we generated from the given relationships, let's determine the value of the two numbers by substitution.
Let's substitute x = y + 15 to x + y = 51.
[tex]\text{ x + y = 51 }\rightarrow\text{ (y + 15) + y = 51}[/tex][tex]\text{ y + 15 + y = 51 }\rightarrow\text{ 2y = 51 - 15}[/tex][tex]\text{ 2y = 36 }\rightarrow\text{ y = }\frac{36}{2}[/tex][tex]\text{ y = 18}[/tex]Since we now get the value of y, y = 18, let's determine the value of x.

The two composite functions have their values to be (w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 33 and (s o w)(x) = (7x - 2)² - 7(7x - 2) + 5
How to determine the composite functions?Composite function 1
The given parameters are
w(x) = 7x - 2
s(x) = x² - 7x + 5
To calculate (w o s)(x), we make use of
(w o s)(x) = w(s(x))
So, we have
(w o s)(x) = 7s(x) - 2
Substitute s(x) = x² - 7x + 5
(w o s)(x) = 7(x² - 7x + 5) - 2
Expand
(w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 35 - 2
Simplify
(w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 33
Composite function 2
Here, we have
w(x) = 7x - 2
s(x) = x² - 7x + 5
To calculate (s o w)(x), we make use of
(s o w)(x) = s(w(x))
So, we have:
(s o w)(x) = w(x)² - 7w(x) + 5
Substitute w(x) = 7x - 2
(s o w)(x) = (7x - 2)² - 7(7x - 2) + 5
So, the composite functions are (w o s)(x) = 7x² - 49x + 33 and (s o w)(x) = (7x - 2)² - 7(7x - 2) + 5

questionSuppose $24,000 is deposited into an account paying 7.25% interest, which is compoundedcontinuouslyHow much money will be in the account after ten years if no withdrawals or additional depositsare made?
This is a compound interest question and we have been given:
Principal (P) = $24000
Rate (r) = 7.25%
Years (t) = 10
However, we are told this value is compounded continuously. This means that for every infinitesimal time period, the value keeps being compounded.
The formula for finding the compound interest is:
[tex]\text{Amount}=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]But because the compounding period is continuous and therefore, infinitesimal,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Amount=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ But, \\ n\to\infty \\ \\ \therefore Amount=\lim _{n\to\infty}P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \end{gathered}[/tex]This is similar to the general formula for Euler's number (e) which is:
[tex]e=\lim _{n\to\infty}(1+\frac{1}{n})^n[/tex]Thus, we can re-write the Amount formula in terms of e:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Amount}=\lim _{n\to\infty}P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ \text{This can be re-written as:} \\ \\ Amount=\lim _{n\to\infty}P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{r}\times r\times t}\text{ (move P out of the limit because it is a constant)} \\ \\ \text{Amount}=P\lim _{n\to\infty}((1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{r}})^{r\times t} \\ \\ \text{Amount}=P(\lim _{n\to\infty}(1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{5}})^{rt} \\ \\ \text{but,} \\ e=(\lim _{n\to\infty}(1+\frac{r}{n})^{\frac{n}{r}} \\ \\ \therefore\text{Amount}=Pe^{rt} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, we can find the amount of money in the account after 10 years:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Amount}=Pe^{rt} \\ P=24000 \\ r=7.25\text{ \%=}\frac{7.25}{100}=0.0725 \\ t=10\text{ years} \\ \\ \therefore\text{Amount}=24000\times e^{10\times0.0725} \\ \\ \text{Amount}=24000\times2.06473 \\ \\ \therefore\text{Amount}=49553.546\approx49553.55 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the amount after compounding continuously for 10 years is:

[tex]10-5\frac{1}{2}-2.6=10-5.5-2.6=1.9[/tex]Therefore she has $1.9 left.
To do this same problem in fraction form we need to convert the 2.6 in fraction, to do this we multiply the number by 10 and divided by ten. Then:

The value of negative integers decreases the further we get from the 0 point on the number line.
Therefore, if we arrange the numbers in ascending order ignoring the negative sign, the numbers will be in descending order when the negative sign is included.
