For lines that are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals. For instance, if line a’s slope is 2/3, then line b must have a slope of -3/2.

Deep Blue, a deep sea fishing company, bought a boat for $250,000. After 9 years, Deep Blue plans to sell it for a scrap value o
Leona [12618]

Answer:

Hence, utilizing linear depreciation gives us 17222.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat's initial value is noted to be $250,000.

The straight-line depreciation method for calculating a boat is as follows:

Cost of the boat is $250,000.

Deep Blue anticipates selling it for $95,000 after 9 years.

Employing the formula, we calculate:

(250000-95000)/9=155000/9=17222.22

Thus, the outcome using linear depreciation is 17222.22.

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals negative StartFraction 7 over 4 EndFraction x plus StartFract
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

1) (2.2, -1.4)

2) (1.33, 1)

Detailed solution:

Question 1)

We are provided with two linear equations representing lines, and we need to find the intersection point that solves the system.

The lines given are:

Line 1 equation:

y=\frac{-7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}

This line passes through points (0, 2.5) and (2.2, -1.4).

Line 2 equation:

y=\frac{3}{4}x-3

The second line goes through (0, -3) and (2.2, -1.4).

According to the graph and data, the solution to the system is the coordinate where both lines intersect.

The solution to a system of linear equations is the coordinate pair common to both lines, i.e., the intersection point.

Here, both lines share the point (2.2, -1.4), indicating it is their intersection and the solution.

Therefore, the solution for question 1 is (2.2, -1.4).

Question 2)

The equations given are:

y = 1.5x - 1               Equation 1

y = 1                           Equation 2

The method of substitution can be used to find the solution.

Replacing y from Equation 2 into Equation 1 gives:

1 = 1.5x - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

2 = 1.5x

Dividing both sides by 1.5 yields:

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33

y = 1

Thus, the solution of the system is (1.33, 1).

A box with rectangular sides has width twice the length of the base. The volume is 24 cubic inches and the total surface area of
lawyer [12517]
The cubic equation formed is L^3 - 52L +144 = 0. Dimensions: Length = 4 inches, Width = 2 inches, Height = 3 inches. To determine this, let L be the length, W the width, and H the height. The box volume is 24 cubic inches, and its total surface area is 52 sq. inches. Setting W = L/2 leads to Volume = L * W * H, thus substituting W gives us the equation 0.5L^2 * H = 24 resulting in H = 48/L^2. The surface area equation simplifies to (L*W) + (L+H) + (W+H) = 26. Introducing W = 0.5L yields 0.5L^2 + 1.5LH = 26. Substituting H into this gives 0.5L^2 + 72/L = 26. Multiplying throughout by L to eliminate denominators yields 0.5L^3 - 26L + 72 = 0. After multiplying through by 2: L^3 - 52L +144 = 0. Testing L=4 confirms a factor, thus Length (L) = 4 inches, and subsequently, W and H calculate to 2 inches and 3 inches respectively.
