You plan to buy $12,000 in computers at a local chain store. There are two stores located about the same distance from your offi

ce but in different cities with different tax rates. One city has a tax rate of 7% and the other has a tax rate of 8.5%. What percent can you save by going with the lower tax rate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
 180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>

Which quadratic equation is equivalent to (x + 2)2 + 5(x + 2) – 6 = 0?
Darya [45]
Quadratic is in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0

so distribute and stuff and simplify
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac

(x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0
remember order of opertaions
(x+2)(x+2)+5(x+2)-6=0
x^2+4x+4+5x+10-6=0
add like terms
x^2+9x+8=0

For the equation given below, evaluate y′ at the point (−2,2)<br> xe^y−4y=2x−4−2e^2
jeka94
Implicit differentiation
chain rule is important here

I'll show the steps partially
e^y+xe^yy'-4y'=2
xe^yy'-4y'=2-e^y
y'(xe^y-4)=2-e^y
y'=\dfrac{2-e^y}{xe^y-4}
now evaluate for (-2,2)
x=-2 and y=2
y'=\dfrac{2-e^2}{-2e^2-4}
y'=\dfrac{2-e^2}{-2e^2-4}
y'=\dfrac{e^2-2}{2e^2+4}
that's it, simplest form

A basketball player stands near the middle of the court and throws the ball toward the basket.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of parabola in vertex form y= a(x-h)^2+k

y represents the height

x represents horizontal distance

(h,k) is the coordinates of vertex of parabola

We are given that The  ball travels to a maximum height of 12 feet when it is a horizontal distance of 18 feet from the player's hands.

So,(h,k)=(18,12)

Substitute the value in equation

y=a(x-18)^2+12  ---1

The ball leaves the player's hands at a height of 6 feet above the ground and the distance at this time is 0

So, y = 6

So,6=a(0-18)^2+12

6=324a+12

-6=324a

\frac{-6}{324}=a

\frac{-1}{54}=a

Substitute the value in 1

So,y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Hence a function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12
