The price of stock A at 9 a. m. was $15.75. Since then, the price has been increase at rate of $.05 per hour. At noon , the price of stock B was $16.53. It begin to decrease at the rate of $.13 per hour. If the stock continue to increase and decrease at the same rate, in how many hours will the price of the stocks be the same?

Step-by-step explanation:

15.75 plus .05x = 16.53-.13x

.78=.18x

4.3 hours is your answer

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

step-by-step explanation:

why? because i noticed a pattern. 60 120. those numbers without the zero, make the 6 times tables leaving your answer to be b since 6 times 4 is 24 and adding a zero making it 240.
