Answer:

The point at which these lines intersect is (-0.50, 1.07).  We can solve this in two ways:  mathematically or graphically.   Both are described.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 equations, so we'll assume that the question is to find if they intersect, and if they do, where is the point of intersection.

Let's rewite the equations in slope-intercept format of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

  1)  9x + 7y = 3

   7y = -9x + 3

y = -(9/7)x + (3/7)  This line has a slope of -(9/7) and a y-intercept of +(3/7).

   2) x - 7y=-8

-7y = -x - 8

y = (1/7)x + (8/7)  This line has a slope of (1/7) and an intercept of (8/7)

The line have different slopes, so they will intersect.  We can find the intersection point by either graphing or by substitution.  We'll do both:

Substitution

We'll rearrange one equation in terms of x and then use that value of x in the second equation.  Thuis has the effect of eliminating one of the variables (x or y) so that we can solve for the remaining value of x or y,

We've rearranged both equations so that they have y equal to an expression involving x.  If the lines intersect, we know that y in both equations will be the same at that point, so set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

y = -(9/7)x + (3/7)

y = (1/7)x + (8/7)

Therefore:   -(9/7)x + (3/7) = (1/7)x + (8/7)

-(9/7)x -(1/7)x = + (8/7) - (3/7)

-(10/7)x = +(5/7)

x = (5/7)*(-7/10)

x = (-35/70)

x = -0.50

Now we can use this value of x to find y:

9x + 7y = 3

9(-0.50) + 7y = 3

-4.5 + 7y = 3

7y = 3+4.5

y = (7.5/7)

y = 1.07

The point at which these lines intersect is (-0.50, 1.07)

Graphing:

We can also graph the two equations and then look for the intersection.  See the attached graph.  The lines intersect at (-0.50, 1.07)

The mathematical approach has more certainty, since it does not require interpreting the intersection point on a graph.  Use the graphing approach to check the conclusion from the substitution approach.

The impact of different fertilizers on crop which yields six different fertilizers have been applied to one field. here, the number of treatments in the test are 6.

Treatments are the numerous values of the factor.

The factor here is the effect of various fertilizers on crop yields.

Six different fertilizers were used.

As a result, the number of treatments equals the number of different fertilizers used = 6.

Fertilizers supply essential nutrients such as nitrogen to crops, allowing them to grow larger, faster, and produce more food. However, overfertilization can be a problem because it causes greenhouse gas emissions and eutrophication.

The monthly payment for a 25-year loan is $150,000 · 0.01115(1 + 0.0115)^300 / (1 + 0.0115)^300 - 1

What is compound interest?

When you earn interest on both the money you've saved and the interest you've earned, this is known as compound interest.

what is the monthly payment?

The amount paid each month to repay the loan over the course of the loan is known as the monthly payment. When a loan is taken out, not only the principal, or the original amount borrowed, but also the interest that accrues, must be repaid.

Here,

We know that the monthly payment is given as

MP = [Pr(1 + r)¹²ⁿ] / [(1 + r)¹²ⁿ - 1]

Where MP monthly payment, P is the initial amount, r is the rate of interest, and n is the number of years.

we have

r = 0.0115

P = $150,000

n = 25 * 12

n = 300

Then we have

MP = $150,000 · 0.01115(1 + 0.0115)^300 / (1 + 0.0115)^300 - 1

Hence, the monthly payment for a 25-year loan is $150,000 · 0.01115(1 + 0.0115)^300 / (1 + 0.0115)^300 - 1

Based on the definition of function as seen above. Let's check the tables:

Table A has two inputs with the same value (4)  but with different outputs. So  Table A is not a function

Table B also has two inputs with the same value (9)  but with different outputs. Thus, Table B does not represent a function
