It'd be $60, 50% is half so you double

If paid $30 for a bag with the discount you would just time it by 2 (reverse what you did) And you would get 60. Sammie's bag would have been $60 without the discount. To check this you can do 60 divided by 2 (2 is half which is equivalent to 50%, which is half of 100) and you would get 30. I hope this helps/makes sense!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope refers to the steepness of the line.

Slope is equal to change in value of y divided by change in value of x.

The slope of the secant line is given by $\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$ .

Given points are $P\left ( 5,-4 \right )\,,\,Q\left ( x,\frac{4}{4-x} \right )$

So, slope of the secant line is $\frac{\frac{4}{4-x}+4}{x-5}=\frac{4+4(4-x)}{(x-5)(4-x)}=\frac{20-4x}{(x-5)(4-x)}=\frac{-4(x-5)}{(x-5)(4-x)}=\frac{-4}{4-x}=\frac{4}{x-4}$

(i) At x = 4.9,

$\frac{4}{4.9-4}=\frac{4}{0.9}=4.444444$

(ii) At x = 4.99,

$\frac{4}{4.99-4}=\frac{4}{0.99}=4.040404$

(iii) At x = 4.999,

$\frac{4}{4.999-4}=\frac{4}{0.999}=4.004004$

(iv) At x = 4.9999,

$\frac{4}{4.9999-4}=\frac{4}{0.9999}=4.0004$

(v) At x =5.1,

$\frac{4}{5.1-4}=\frac{4}{1.1}=3.636364$

(vi)

At x = 5.01,

$\frac{4}{5.01-4}=\frac{4}{1.01}=3.960396$

(vii) At x = 5.001,

$\frac{4}{5.001-4}=\frac{4}{1.001}=3.996004$

(viii) At x = 5.0001,

$\frac{4}{5.0001-4}=\frac{4}{1.0001}=3.9996$

(b)

Slope of the tangent line is 4.

PLEASE HELP AND GIVE AN EXPLANATION A rectangular prism has a volume of 170 cm the length of the prism is 5 cm in the height of

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The width of the prism is 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the prism = 170 cm³

The length of the prism = 5 cm

The height of the prism = 17 cm

The volume of the prism is given by the relationship v = Length, l × Height, h × Width, w

Therefore;

The volume of the prism = 5 cm × 17 cm × w = 170 cm³

Which gives;

w = 170 cm³/(5 cm × 17 cm) = 170 cm³/(85 cm) = 2 cm

∴ The width of the prism = 2 cm.

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

k = –10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

f(x) = x³ – 6x² – 11x + k

Factor => x + 2

Value of K =?

Next, we shall obtained the value of x from x + 2. This is illustrated below:

x + 2 = 0

Collect like terms

x = 0 – 2

x = –2

Finally, we shall determine the value of k as illustrated below:

f(x) = x³ – 6x² – 11x + k

x = –2

Thus,

f(–2) = 0

x³ – 6x² – 11x + k = 0

(–2)³ – (–2)² – 11(–2) + k = 0

–8 – (4) + 22 + K = 0

–8 – 4 + 22 + K = 0

10 + k = 0

Collect like terms

k = 0 – 10

k = –10

Thus, the value of k is –10

Consider the graph.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

C, f(x) = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to plug in the values of the x coordinates and see if it matches with the y coordinate to determine if it is on the same line. Startin with 2x + 8, we have the point (1, 8) on the graph. Plugging in 1 gets you 10 for the y. This is wrong since 8 is the y coordinate. Moving on, we have 6.4(1.25)^x for the same point. Plugging in 1, we have 6.4 * 1.25 = 8, which is true. Moving on to the second point, (2, 10), we have 1.25 squared times 6.4. This is thus wrong. So, moving on to 2x + 6, we have the point (1, 8), and plugging in 1 for x, we have 8 as y. Since this satisfies the equation we move on to the next point, (2,10). Plugging in x, we have 2 * 2 + 6 = 10, which is also true. Moving on to our third point (3 , 12), we plug in 3 for x. We then get 3 * 2 + 6 = 12, which is correct. This, is our answer then.
