The price of a bungalow in 1990 was $850000. If there was a 125% increase in 2000, followed by a 30% decrease in 2013, what was

the price in 2013?

Answer:

1,338,750$

Step-by-step explanation:

1990 price was 850,000

in 2000

850,000 + 125% = 1,062,500

850,000 + 1,062,500 = 1,912,500

in 2013

1,912,500 - 30% = 573,750

1,912,500 - 573,750 = 1,338,750

A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$26 - \sqrt{181}$ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares, in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}$

$x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}$

$x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}$

$x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}$

But $x_1 > 33$ , then is not the correct answer.

If M (6,8) is the midpoint of line segment AB, and if A has coordinates (2,3) , find the coordinates of B.

sveticcg [70]

Graphing is one way to do the problem.But sometimes, graphing it is hard to do.So here’s an algebraic method.
If M(m1, m2) is the midpoint of two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2),then m1 = (x1 + x2)/2 and m2 = (y1 + y2)/2.In other words, the x-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the x-coordinates of the two points,and the y-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
Let B have coordinates (x2, y2) in our problem.Then we have that 6 = (2 + x2)/2 and 8 = (3 + y2)/2.
Solving for the coordinates gives x2 = 10, y2 = 13

Drag each figure to show if it is similar to the figure shown or why it is not similar.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures have the same shape but the same size.

Moving from left to right:

The first figure is similar because the ratio is 6:14 which is the same as the figure 3:7.

The second figure is not similar because of shape

The third figure is is not similar because the ratio is 6:12 which is not the same as the figure 3:7

The fourth figure is similar because it is rotated

The fifth figure is not similar because of shape

The sixth figure is not similar because of the ratio of 2:3.5 which is not the same as the figure's ratio of 3:7
