James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let b represent the rate of pay increase and a represent the initial pay.

Let us assume that he had received 128000 after the 8 months. hence:

128000 = ab⁸ (1)

Also in the 10th month, he had received 512000, hence:

512000 = ab¹⁰ (2)

From the both equations:

a = 500, b = 2

rate of increase = 200% - 100% = 100%

James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The cost of hardbook is $9 and cost of paperback is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price for hardback book and y be the price for paperback book.

Mr. Yamamoto purchased 42 new hardcover books and 64 new paperback books, which cost a total of $698.

We can write the equation as:

$42x + 64y = 698$

He also purchased 42 new hardcover books and 58 new paperback books, which cost a total of $668.

We can write the equation as:

$42x + 58y = 668$

We have to use the elimination method to solve the two equations.

We eliminate x by subtracting the two equations.

$42x + 64y-(42x + 58y) = 698 - 668\\\Rightarrow 6y = 30\\\Rightarrow y = 5\\42x + 64(5) = 698\\\\\Rightarrow x = \displaystyle\frac{698 - 64(5)}{42}\\\\\Rightarrow x = 9$

Thus, the cost of hardbook is $9 and cost of paperback is $5.

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (-6,0) find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by this equation y=x^2

Tanya [424]

Hello.

First off, you can factor this equation to find the missing x-intercept.

y = x² + 8x + 12
y = (x + 6)(x + 2)

Then, you can use the zero product property to find the x values.

x + 6 = 0 x + 2 = 0
- 6 - 6 - 2 - 2
x = -6 x = -2

As an ordered pair: (-6, 0) and (-2, 0)

Thus, your answer is x = -6, -2.

Drag values to complete each equation.

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. $17^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

Power of a Power Property
Product Property
Quotient Property
Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

$(17^3)^6$ can be turned into $17^1^8$ by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, $(17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8$

So now, our fraction is this: $\frac{17^8}{17^8}$

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n$ or $\frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}$ . Which then you plug the numbers in: $\frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0$ . And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: $a^0 = 1$ , we can see that $17^0 = 1$ . So either way, we get 1.
