Answer:

Tom's books cost him $57.9569 after the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the initial cost of the books

Initial cost of books=$65.86

Step 2: Calculate discount amount

Discount amount can be expressed as follows;

discount amount=discount rate×initial cost of books

where;

discount rate=12%

initial cost of books=$65.86

replacing;

discount amount=(12/100)×65.86=7.9032

discount amount=$7.9032

Step 3: Cost after discount

The cost after discount can be expressed as;

Cost after discount=Initial cost-discount amount

where;

Initial cost=$65.86

discount amount=$7.9032

replacing;

Cost after discount=(65.86-7.9032)=$57.9569

Tom's books cost him $57.9569 after the discount

You charge $5 plus $0.75 per dog you walk at a dog shelter. You earn $14 total working on a Saturday. How many dogs did you walk
san4es73 [151]

Answer: You walked 12 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

If you charge 0.75 per dog then we can represent that by the expression 0.75x where x is the number of dogs. If you charge $5 for the initial amount, then the whole expression will be 0.75x +5  and that has to equal the amount that you earned working on Saturday.So the equation will be

0.75x + 5 = 14   Now solve for x by first subtracting 5 from both sides

          -5     -5

0.75x = 9      Divide both sides by 0.75

 x = 12

Answer:

Unclear.

To find the perimeter you need all three sides of the triangle. You have only given two.

All you need to do is add up all three sides and you have your perimeter.

Formula: <u>P=a+b+c</u>

Can someone please help me with this last one. I am totally lost and don’t understand
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

g(-4) = -1

g(-1) = -1

g(1) = 3

Explanation:

If you are given a function that is defined by a system of equations associated with certain intervals of x, just find which interval makes x true, and then substitute x into the equation of that interval.

For example, given g(-4), this is an expression which is asking for the value of the equation when x = -4. So -4 is not ≥ 2, so ¼x - 1 will not be used. -4 is also not ≤ -1 and ≤ 2, so -(x - 1)² + 3 will not be used either. So in turn, we will just use -1 which is always -1 so g(-4) will just be -1, right because there is no x variable in -1 so it will always be the same.

Using the same idea as before g(-1) is g(x) when x = -1 so -1 will not be a solution because -1 is not less than -1 (< -1). -1 is not ≥ 2 either so we will be using the second equation because -1 is part of the interval -1≤x≤2 (it is a solution to this inequality), therefore -(x - 1)² + 3 will be used.

As x = -1, -(x - 1)² + 3 = -(-1 - 1)² + 3 = -(-2)² + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1.

It is a coincidence that g(-1) = -1.

Now for g(1), where g(x) has an input of 1 or the value of the function where x = 1, we will not use the first equation because x = 1 → x < -1 → 1 < -1 [this is false because 1 is never less than -1], so we will not use -1.

We will use -(x - 1)² + 3 again because 1 is not ≥ 2, 1≥2 [this is also false]. And -1 ≤ 1 < 2 [This is a true statement]. Therefore g(1) = -(1 - 1)² + 3 = -(0)² + 3 = 3
