Answer:

Jonathan and Seth share the same swimming rate.

Explanation:

First, we'll determine the rate for each swimmer by calculating the ratio $\frac{laps}{minutes}$ and making comparisons.

1- Jonathan:

He swam 2 laps in 4 minutes. This indicates that:

$\frac{laps}{minutes}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ laps/minute

2- Julian:

He swam 1 lap in 1 minute. This indicates that:

$\frac{laps}{minutes}$ = $\frac{1}{1}$ = 1 lap/minute

3- Seth:

He completed 3 laps in 6 minutes. This indicates that:

$\frac{laps}{minutes}$ = $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ laps/minute

4- Bennett:

He swam 7 laps in 21 minutes. This indicates that:

$\frac{laps}{minutes}$ = $\frac{7}{21}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ laps/minute

5- Taylor:

He completed 4 laps in 7 minutes. This indicates that:

$\frac{laps}{minutes}$ = $\frac{4}{7}$ laps/minute

By comparing the rates previously calculated, we conclude that:

Both Jonathan and Seth have identical rates.

I hope this clarifies things for you:)

Response:

After 15 years, the balance in the account should be $95,321.85

Detailed explanation:

Based on the provided information, we can summarize as follows:

monthly deposit of $220=R

annual interest rate is set at 2.05%. To find the monthly interest rate, we divide: monthly interest rate= 2.05%/12=0.1708%=0.0017

t=15years×12=180 months

To determine the total amount after 15 years, we can apply this formula:

Ap=R(1-(1+i)∧-t)

i

Ap=220(1-(1+0.0017)∧-180)

0.0017

Ap=162,04

0.0017

Ap=$95,321.85

The balance in the account after 15 years is $95,321.85

Which shows the following expression after the negative exponents have been eliminated?

AnnZ [12381]

Response:

$a^2b^2$

Detailed explanation:

Considering the given algebraic expression:

$\dfrac{a^3b^{-2}}{ab^{-4}}, a\neq 0, b\neq 0$

The task is to remove the negative exponents and derive the new expression.

Applying the Negative Exponent Rule: $x^{-y}=\dfrac{1}{x^y}$

Utilizing the Division Law for Exponents: $\dfrac{t^x}{t^y}=t^{x-y}$

Consequently:

$\dfrac{a^3b^{-2}}{ab^{-4}} = a^{3-1}\cdot b^{-2-(-4)}\\$Simplifying\\a^{3-1}\cdot b^{-2-(-4)}=a^2b^{-2+4}\\=a^2b^2\\Therefore:\\\dfrac{a^3b^{-2}}{ab^{-4}}=a^2b^2$
