Let's say the price without tax of the car is "x", then you add 5% of "x" and it becomes $26,708.

now, if we take "x" to be the 100% of the price, and then adding a 5% of "x" will simply give us a 100 + 5 = 105%, and that's what 26,708 is, thus, 26,708 is the 105%, and if "x" is the 100%, what is "x" anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
x&100\\
26708&105
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{26708}=\cfrac{100}{105}\implies x=\cfrac{26708\cdot 100}{105}

Alex is 12 years older than George. Carl is Three times older than Alex The sum of their ages is 68 Find the ratio of George’s a
earnstyle [38]

Ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 1 : 12 : 4

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the age of Alex

Let "g" be the age of George

Let "c" be the age of Carl

<em><u>Alex is 12 years older than George</u></em>

Therefore,

Age of Alex = 12 + Age of George

a = 12 + g

g = a - 12 ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Carl is Three times older than Alex</u></em>

Age of Carl = 3 x Age of Alex

c = 3a -------- eqn 2

<em><u>The sum of their ages is 68</u></em>

age of Alex + age of George + age of Carl = 68

a + g + c = 68 ----------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2 in eqn 3</u></em>

a + a - 12 + 3a = 68

5a - 12 = 68

5a = 12 + 68

5a = 80

a = 16

<em><u>Substitute a = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>

c = 3(16) = 48

c = 48

<em><u>Substitute a = 16 in eqn 1</u></em>

g = 16 - 12 = 4

g = 4

<em><u>Find the ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age</u></em>

Ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age = g : c : a

g : c : a = 4 : 48 : 16

Divide the above ratio by 4 to reduce to lowest terms

g : c : a - 1 : 12 : 4

Thus ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 1 : 12 : 4

What is the lcm of 4 and 5
timama [110]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 1 = 4        5 * 1 = 5

4 * 2 = 8        5 * 2 = 10

4* 3 = 12        5 * 3 = 15

4 * 4 = 16       5 * 4 = 20

4 * 5 = 20


they both go into 20 equally. there is no number lower than 20 that they both go into

For what values of θ on the polar curve r=θ, with 0≤θ≤2π , are the tangent lines horizontal? Vertical?
Bond [772]
Given that r=\theta, then r'=1

The slope of a tangent line in the polar coordinate is given by:

m= \frac{r'\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{r'\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}

Thus, we have:

m= \frac{\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta}{\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta}



Part A:

For horizontal tangent lines, m = 0.

Thus, we have:

\sin\theta+\theta\cos\theta=0 \\  \\ \theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta \\  \\ \theta=- \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} =-\tan\theta

Therefore, the <span>values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are horizontal are:

</span><span>θ = 0

</span>θ = <span>2.02875783811043
</span>
θ = <span>4.91318043943488



Part B:

For vertical tangent lines, \frac{1}{m} =0

Thus, we have:

\cos\theta-\theta\sin\theta=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta\sin\theta=\cos\theta \\  \\ \Rightarrow\theta= \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta} =\sec\theta

</span>Therefore, the <span>values of θ on the polar curve r = θ, with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, such that the tangent lines are vertical are:

</span>θ = <span>4.91718592528713</span>
