Let's call the store value as s and the wholesale price as w. A store prices tapes by raising the wholesale price 50%(0.5 in decimals) and adding 25 cents, writing this as an equation, we have

s(w)=w+0.5w+0.25

If we invert the equation we're going to find the the wholesale price as a function of the store price.

\begin{gathered} s=w+0.5w+0.25 \\ s=1.5w+0.25 \\ s-0.25=1.5w \\ w(s)=\frac{s-0.25}{1.5} \end{gathered}

Now, to find the wholesale price if the sales price is $1.99, we just need to evaluate s = 1.99 on the function we created.

w(1.99)=\frac{1.99-0.25}{1.5}=1.16

The wholesale price is $1.16.

Write the recursive formula for -34, -38, -42, -46, -50 ...
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

-30 - 4n

Step-by-step explanation:

-34, -38, -42, -46, -50 ...

the sequence first term is -34

a= -34

Common difference (d) = T2 - T1 = T3 - T2

d = -38- -34 = -42 -  - 38 = -38+34

d = -4

Formula for nth term

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Tn = -34 + (n -1)-4

Tn = -34 -4n + 4

Tn = -30 - 4n

= -30 - 4n

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

radius r = 4 in

slant height L = 15 in

base area = πr² = 16π in²

lateral area = πrL = 60π  in²

surface area = 76π in²

r = 4×6, L = 15×6

base area = (4×6)²π = 16π×36

lateral area = 60π×36

surface area is multiplied by 36
