The cost of a High Definition television now averages $700, but the cost is decreasing about 15% per year. In how many years will the cost be under $200?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 7.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The cost of HD TV is $700 and it is decreasing at the rate of 15% per year

After one year it becomes

[tex]\Rightarrow 700-700\times 15\%\\\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)[/tex]

after 2 year it becomes

[tex]\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)-700(1-0.15)\times 15\%\\\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)(1-0.15)\\\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)^2[/tex]

Suppose, after x years it becomes $200

[tex]\Rightarrow 200=700(1-0.15)^x\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{7}=0.85^x\\\\\text{Taking log both sides}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\ln (\frac{2}{7})}{\ln (0.85)}\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.7\ \text{years}[/tex]

Thus, it takes 7.7 years for the cost to come under $200.

Answers

Answer:

D. Multiply the second equation by 3. The solution is x = 12, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x + 3y = 42 (first equation)

2x - y = 14 (second equation)

To solve by elimination, starting with elimination of the y-variable, multiply the second equation by 3 to get a third equation.

2x - y = 14 (2nd eqn.) × 3

6x - 3y = 42 (3rd equation)

Add the 3rd equation and the 1st equation together.

x + 3y = 42 (first equation)

6x - 3y = 42 (3rd equation)

7x = 84

7x/7 = 84/7

x = 12

To find y, substitute x = 12 in the first equation

x + 3y = 42 (first equation)

12 + 3y = 42

12 + 3y - 12 = 42 - 12

3y = 30

3y/3 = 30/3

y = 10

Solution is x = 12, y = 10

Answers

Answer:

180m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Height = 15m

Width=3m

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume= L*W*H

Substitute

Volume= 4*3*15

Volume= 180m^3

(5x-3)=(3x+27) I dont understand

Answers

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-3)=(3x+27)

Subtract 3x from each side

(5x-3x-3)=(3x-3x+27)

2x-3 = 27

Add 3 to each side

2x-3+3 = 27+3

2x= 30

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 30/2

x = 15

Dana enters a race where she has to cycle and run. She cycles a distance of 25km and then runs for 20km. Her average running speed is half of her average cycling speed. If dana completes the race in 5 hours, what is her average cycling speed !

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let running speed = x.

So, cycling speed = 2x.

Total distance traveled = 20 + 25 = 45km

Time taken running = 20/x

Time taken cycling = 25/2c

Total time taken = 5 hours

So, 5 = 20/x + 25/2x

Solving this equation for x gives:

10x = 65. Thus x = 6.5

Since cycling speed = 2x, cycling speed = (6.5)(2)

So cycling speed is 13 km/h.

Write the sentence as an equation use x to represent a number

“Six times the difference of 11 and a number is -72”

Answers

Answer:

6 × (11 - x) = -72 => x = 23

or

6 × (x - 11) = -72 => x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

there are at least two possibilities, as the "difference between two numbers a and b can be excised as either a-b or b-a.

in any case, just following the sentence

Six times = 6 ×

difference of 11 and a number = 11 - x

is -72 = -72

so,

6 × (11 - x) = -72

and that is true for x = 23

but

the other direction is possible too

6 × (x - 11) = -72

and that is true for x = -1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find the median of the data given. A median is the "middle number" of a set of numbers ordered in increasing value.

Step 1, ordering the numbers:

We will start by ordering the numbers from smallest to largest. We have:

2, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12

Step 2, finding the "middle number":

Well...notice how there is an even amount of numbers in the data set. We can't exactly find one "middle number". We can however, narrow the list down to two "middle numbers."

We have 6 and 8.

Step 3, taking the average:

To find the median, we will take the average of the two "middle numbers."

[tex]\frac{6+8}{2} =\\\frac{14}{2}=\\\fbox{7}[/tex]

The median is 7 boys.

A prism with an volume of 148 cubic cm is dilated by a factor of 5.5.

The volume of the dilated prism is ___ cubic cm.

(this is just a word question)

Answers

Answer:

24623.5 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A prism with an volume of 148 cubic cm is dilated by a factor of 5.5.

This is calculated as:

Let the volume of the dilated prism = x

Hence:

x/148 = (5.5)³

Cross Multiply

x = 148 cm³ × 5.5³

x = 24623.5 cm³

The volume of the dilated prism is 24623.5 cubic cm.

Marco needs to climb up to the roof of his house. He placed his ladder so that the bottom of
the ladder was 4 feet away from the wall. If his ladder was 13 feet long, how high up was the
top of the ladder against the wall of the house? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

12.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder placed against the wall forms a right angle triangle

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = 13 feet

Opposite = 4 feet

Adjacent = x

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

13² = 4² + x²

169 = 16 + x²

169 - 16 = x²

153 = x²

Find the square root of both sides

√153 = √x²

12.369316876852 = x

x = 12.4 feet

Adjacent = x = 12.4 feet

Without graphing, determine and explain how many solutions you would expect this system of equations to have.

Answers

Answer:

no solutions; the lines are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

The eqautions are in slope intercept form.

The slope of both lines is 4/5; therefor the lines are parallel

The y-intercept of one line is -3 and the other is 1

That means the parallelines never meet.

There are no solutions

There are no solutions for the system of equations y=4/5 x−3

and y=4/5 x+1

What is slope intercept form of line?

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The system of equations,

y=4/5 x−3

y=4/5 x+1

The equations are in slope intercept form.

As we observe the equations, the slopes of two equations is 4/5.

The slope of both lines is 4/5

Therefor the lines are parallel

The y-intercept of one line is -3 and the other is 1

That means the parallel lines never meet. There are no solutions

Hence there are no solutions for the system of equations y=4/5 x−3

and y=4/5 x+1

At the market you can buy 5 bags of apples for $23.60. At the farm you can buy 7 apples for $32.76. Which is the better deal

Answers

Answer:

Market

Step-by-step explanation:

Market : 5 bags = $23.60

Farm : 7 apples = $32.76

Market = $23.60 ÷ 5

= $4.72 each BAG

Farm = $32.76 ÷ 7

= $4.68 each APPLE

Thus, market is the better deal because you will get 5 bags of apple for $4.72 for each bag.
