The equation representing the given situation is, <u>250 = 70x + 35</u>, where x is the number of cars washed by the company.

In the question, we are given that Scarlett made a profit of $250.00 with her mobile car wash company. She charged $75.00 per car wash and received $35.00 in tips, but also had to pay $5.00 in cleaning supplies per car.

We are asked to represent the situation with an equation.

We assume the number of cars washed by the company to be x.

Charge for washing 1 car = $75.00.

Cost for cleaning supplies for 1 car = $5.00.

Thus the profit on the wash of 1 car = $75.00 - $5.00 = $70.00.

The total profit received by the company, on washing x number of cars = $70x.

The tips received = $35.00.

Thus, the total profit of the company = $(70x + 35).

But, the total profit is given to be $250.00.

Thus, we get an equation, 250 = 70x + 35.

Thus, the equation representing the given situation is, <u>250 = 70x + 35</u>, where x is the number of cars washed by the company.

Write the explicit formula

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is

$A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1$ where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then

a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is

$A_n=2(3)^{n-1$ and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.

Assume z = x + iy, then find a complex number z satisfying the given equation. d. 2z8 – 2z4 + 1 = 0

kodGreya [7K]

Answer: complex equations has n number of solutions, been n the equation degree. In this case:

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i11,25°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i101,25°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i191,25°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i281,25°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i78,75°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i168,75°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i258,75°}$

$Z=\frac{\sqrt[8]{2} }{\sqrt[4]{2}} e^{i348,75°}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I start with a variable substitution:

$Z^{4} = X$

Then:

$2X^{2}-2X+1=0$

Solving the quadratic equation:

$X_{1} =\frac{2+\sqrt{4-4*2*1} }{2*2} \\X_{2} =\frac{2-\sqrt{4-4*2*1} }{2*2}$

$X=\left \{ {{0,5+0,5i} \atop {0,5-0,5i}} \right.$

Replacing for the original variable:

$Z=\sqrt[4]{0,5+0,5i}$

or $Z=\sqrt[4]{0,5-0,5i}$

Remembering that complex numbers can be written as:

$Z=a+ib=|Z|e^{ic}$

Using this:

$Z=\left \{ {{{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} e^{i45°} } \atop {{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} e^{i-45°} }} \right.$

Solving for the modulus and the angle:

$Z=\left \{ {{\sqrt[4]{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} e^{i45}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} } \sqrt[4]{e^{i45}} } \atop {\sqrt[4]{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} e^{i-45}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} } \sqrt[4]{e^{i-45}} }} \right.$

The possible angle respond to:

$RAng_{12...n} =\frac{Ang +360*(i-1)}{n}$

Been "RAng" the resultant angle, "Ang" the original angle, "n" the degree of the root and "i" a value between 1 and "n"

In this case n=4 with 2 different angles: Ang = 45º and Ang = 315º

Obtaining 8 different angles, therefore 8 different solutions.
