E) Evelyn bought a new smartphone for $499 plus tax. She was surprised when she got
the receipt and saw that the tax was $42.42. What was the sales tax rate for this
purchase?

Answers

Answer 1

Translating "The tax is some percent of the phone's price" into an equation, we get:

   42.42 = p · 499

If we divide both sides by 499, we get

   0.085 ≈ p

We can check by finding 8.5% of 499:

   0.085 · 499 = 42.415, which rounds to 42.42

So the tax rate was 8.5%.

Answer:

  no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions to the equation are ...

  tan(θ/7) +√3 = 0

  tan(θ/7) = -√3

  θ/7 = arctan(-√3) +nπ . . . . . . . for integer n

  θ = 7(-π/3 +nπ) = 7π(n -1/3)

For n=0, θ = -7π/3 -- not in the required interval.

For n=1, θ = 14π/3 -- not in the required interval.

There are no solutions in the required interval.

Jaxon borrowed some money from his friend in order to help buy a new video game system. Jaxon agreed to pay the friend back some amount every week until his loan was paid off. Let L represent the amount Jaxon owes his friend after tt weeks. A graph of L is shown below. Write an equation for L then state the x-intercept of the graph and determine its interpretation in the context of the problem.

Answers

Answer:

L = -2t + 10, (5,0) the interpretation of the x-intercept in the context of the problem is the week that Jaxon owes no more money

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have L=mt+b with m being the slop and b being the y-intercept. the y-intercept is found by looking at what L is when t=0. when t=0, L=10 so b=10. now we have L=mt + 10. to find slop figure out rise/run. every 1 increase in t, L decreases 2 units. this is -2/1 or -2 so m=-2. so the graph is L = -2t + 10

the x- intercept is the t value when L=0, looking at the graph, when L=0, t=5, so the x-intercept is at (5,0)

A baseball pitcher has made 53 pitches in the first four innings of a baseball game and plans to pitch 3 mote innings.

Write an inequality to find the average number of pitches the pitcher can throw over the next three innings Solve the inequality from Part 1. What is the maximum number of pitches the pitcher can make in cach of the next 3 innings ? Graph your solution from Part 2 on a number line and explain what your solution means. If the pitcher threw just 6 pitches in the fifth inning, what is the greatest number of pitches the pitcher can throw per inning he wishes to pitch nine innings? Write and solve an inequality to answer this part.

Answers

Answer:

at most 17 pitches per inning

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a baseball pitcher makes 53 pitches in the first 4 innings of a game and plans to pitch in the next 3 innings.

We need to write and solve an inequality to find the possible average pitches per inning the pitcher made in the next 3 innings if the pitcher is assigned a maximum of 105 pitches.

From part (a) we know  3 p + 53 3p+53 represents the total number of pitches made if the pitcher makes an average of  p pitches per inning in the next 3 innings.

If the pitcher can make at most 105 pitches, then:

3 p + 53 ≤ 105 3p+53≤105 ​  

To solve the inequality, first subtract 53 on both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable term:

3 p + 53 − 53 ≤ 105 − 53 3 p ≤ 53      

3p+53≤105 [tex]p\leq 17\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

at most 17 pitches per inning

[tex]y = x^{3} + 2[/tex]

[tex]y = g(x) + c[/tex]

Here,  [tex]g(x) = x^{3}[/tex] and [tex]c = 2[/tex], the parent function is [tex]g(x)[/tex]. Because [tex]c > 0[/tex], the graph undergoes a vertical shift 2 units up along the y-axis.

1) The cubic function is [tex]x^3+1[/tex] and the parent function is [tex]x^3[/tex].

2) The transformation from parent function to function is vertical stretch.

A cubic function is a polynomial function of degree 3. So the graph of a cube function may have a maximum of 3 roots. i.e., it may intersect the x-axis at a maximum of 3 points.

The general form of the cubic function is [tex]ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0[/tex], where a, b, c and d are real numbers.

Let the cubic function be [tex]x^3+1[/tex] and the parent function be [tex]x^3[/tex].

To find the transformation, compare the function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis and if there is a vertical strech.

Horizontal shift: None

Vertical shift: Up 1 units

Reflection about the x-axis: None

Reflection about the y-axis: None

Vertical Compression or Stretch: None

Therefore,

1) The cubic function is [tex]x^3+1[/tex] and the parent function is [tex]x^3[/tex].

QUESTION :-

The value of 3 1/5 - 1 2/3

ANSWER :-

[tex] = > \: \frac{16}{5} \times \frac{5}{3} \\ [/tex]

Take Lcm by the denominator ( check the pic )

[tex] = > \: ( \frac{16 \times3 }{5 \times 3} ) \: = \: \frac{48}{15} [/tex][tex] = > \: ( \frac{5 \times 5}{3 \times 5} ) \: = \: \frac{25}{15} [/tex]

Now subtract this

[tex] \frac{48}{15} - \frac{25}{15} = \: \frac{23}{15} [/tex]So , now ur ans is :-

[tex] \frac{23}{15} [/tex]

Question:[tex] \rightarrow[/tex] the value of 3 1/5 - 1 2/3 is?

=================================================

Answer:

[tex] \large\rightarrow \tt 1 \frac{8}{15}[/tex]

=================================================

Explanation/Solution:

To solve the problem, let's find the LCM or Latest Common Multiple.

[tex]\tt5 \underline{ | \tt5, \: 3} \\ \tt3 \underline{ \tt |1, \: 3} \\ \: \: \: \: \tt1, \: 1[/tex]

[tex] \rightarrow [/tex] LCM = 5 x 3 = 15

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Since the LCM is already finished let's solve for the both numerator and denominator.

[tex]\rightarrow \: \tt3 \frac{1 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = 3 \frac{3}{15} \\ \\ \rightarrow \: \tt1 \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = 1 \frac{10}{15} [/tex]

Since both of the fractions cannot be subtracted from each other, then let's make it to a improper fraction.

[tex] \rightarrow \: \tt3 \frac{3}{15} = 3 \times 15 + 3 = \frac{48}{15} \\ \\ \rightarrow \: \tt1 \frac{10}{15} = 1 \times 15 + 10 = \frac{25}{15} [/tex]

Now its time to subtract.

[tex]\rightarrow \: \tt \frac{48}{15} - \frac{25}{15} = \frac{23}{15} \: \: or \: \: 1 \frac{8}{15} [/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 1 8/15.

a. Write the cost function.
C(x) = 150 (Type an expression using x as the variable.)

Answers

Answer:

C(x)=2400 - 80x

Step-by-step explanation:

since 24000 is a fixed cost, lets put it was the y-intercept (the cost when no canoes are produced and sold). next subtract 160 from 80 to get the amount of cost gained for every canoe produced and sold. this value is -80, it is negative since the company is earning a profit for every canoe produced and sold. now you have your equation: C(x) = 2400 - 80x
