Cost of the article = $27.50
Amount of city sales tax = (27.50 x 6%) = $1.65
Amount of excise tax = (27.50 x 8%) = $2.20
From my knowledge, we pay city sales tax and federal excise tax when we buy something, so the total cost would be $31.35

Answer:

Therefore, The article costs altogether = $31.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail cost of the article = $27.50

The city sales tax is 6%

So, The city sales tax cost = 6% of 27.50

⇒ The city sales tax cost = $1.65

The federal excise tax is 8%

⇒ The federal excise tax cost = 8% of 27.50

⇒ The federal excise tax cost = $2.20

The total city tax = 1.65 + 2.20

⇒ The total city tax = $3.85

Therefore, The article costs altogether = 27.50 + 3.85

                                                                    = $31.35

The given line passes through the points (0, −3) and (2, 3).
Alex Ar [27]
Well, parallel lines have the same exact slope, so hmmm what's the slope of the one that runs through <span>(0, −3) and (2, 3)?

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 0 &,& -3~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 2 &,& 3~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-(-3)}{2-0}\implies \cfrac{3+3}{2-0}\implies 3
<span>
so, we're really looking for a line whose slope is 3, and runs through -1, -1

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -1 &,& -1~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies 3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-1)=3[x-(-1)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y+1=3(x+1)<span>
</span>

A report by the US Geological Survey indicates that glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana, are shrinking. Recent estimates
postnew [5]

Answer

a) C

b) B

c) C, E

d) 15.5

e) 0.7

f) 67.7

Step-by-step explanation

a) A linear equation can be written as y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept on the y-axis. The slope describes how y changes when x changes. A negative value means the it is a decreasing change. In our case, y is A and x is t. Thus, the slope of the equation is m=-0.062. This means that the area of glacier is decreasing by 0.062 \text{km}{}^2 = 62000 \text{m}{}^2 every year since 2000.

b) The A-intercept (= 16.2 \text{km}{}^2) represents the area covered when t=0. But t=0 starting from year 2000. This intercept then represents the area covered by glacier in the year 2000. Therefore, the area covered by glacier in 2000 was 16.2 \text{km}{}^2.

c) A=f(t) means the area covered after year 2000. Setting it to 12 means the area covered after t years is 12 \text{km}{}^2). t is therefore the number of years since 2000 that the total area covered will be 12 \text{km}{}^2).

d) f(12)=16.2−0.062\times12 =16.2-0.744 = =15.456 15.5 \text{km}{}^2 to 1 decimal place.

e) The term involving t represents the disappearing area. In 12 years, the disappeared area is 0.062\times12=0.744 =0.7 \text{km}{}^2 to 1 decimal place.

f) f(t)=16.2−0.062t =12

0.062t = 16.2-12 = 4.2

t = \dfrac{4.2}{0.062}=67.7419\ldots =67.7 years to 1 decimal place.
