Answer: The value of the card after you buy your 8th coffee will be $61.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of the gift card for the coffee shop is $90. Each day you use the card to get a coffee for $4.10. This means that the worth of the gift card is reducing by $4.10 each day. This rate is in arithmetic progression.

The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, Tn is expressed as

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Where a is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the number of days

From the information given,

a = $90

d = - $4.1

The explicit formula representing the amount of money available will be

Tn = 90 - 4.1(n - 1)

The value of the card after you buy your 8th coffee will be

T8 = 90 - 4.1(8 - 1) = T8 = 90 - 4.1×7

T8 = 90 - 28.7

T8 = $61.3

400 - 24.80 = 375.20
375.20 - 5.20 = 370

Use a graphing calculator to solve the equation -3 cost= 1 in the interval from . Round to the nearest hundredth.
RSB [31]
In place of t, or theta, I'm going to utilize x instead. So the equation is -3*cos(x) = 1. Get everything to one side and we have -3*cos(x)-1 = 0

Let f(x) = -3*cos(x)-1. The goal is to find the root of f(x) in the interval [0, 2pi]

I'm using the program GeoGebra to get the task done of finding the roots. In this case, there are 2 roots and they are marked by the points A and B in the attachment shown

A = (1.91, 0)
B = (4.37, 0)

So the two solutions for theta are
theta = 1.91 radians
theta = 4.37 radians

Walmart is having a huge 25 % off sale!!!
IRISSAK [1]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $400

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price after taking 25% off is $300, then $300 is 75% of the original price.

  $300 = 0.75p

  $300/0.75 = p = $400

The original price was $400.

_____

<em>Check</em>

0.25 × $400 = $100

$400 -100 = $300 . . . . the price after taking 25% off

Answer:

C: I and III only.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers x and y such that:

-y

And we want to determine which of the following conditions must be true.

First, let's examine the third condition. We have:

y>0

To see if this is true, let's try a negative value for y. So, let's use -7. This will give:

-(-7)

Simplify:

7

This is saying we need a number less than -7 and greater than 7.

This is impossible. So, y <em>must be</em> greater than 0.

Therefore, Condition III must be true.

Next, let's see this compound inequality visually.

Picture the following number-line:

<----------(-y)----------0----------y---------->

Whatever y is, -y is just y on the negative side.

Now, since our condition is that -y<x<y, this means that our x can be anywhere between -y and y. Namely:

<----------(-y)----------0----------y---------->

To determine our correct condition, let's picture x anywhere on the bolded lines. I'm just going to put x here...

<----------(-y)-------(x)--0----------y---------->

Now, remember the alternative definition for absolute value. Namely, the absolute value of x is also the <em>distance</em> from 0 to x. And this distance is always positive.

Since our x is between -y and y, our distance from 0 to x will always be less than the distance from 0 to either y.

Therefore, Condition I is also true.

Let's try an example. Let's let y = 9. So, -y=-9. And let's let x be between 9 and -9, say, -2. So:

<---(-9)-----(-2)--0--------(9)------>

We can see that:

|-2|=2\stackrel{\checkmark}{

Also, this example counters Condition II, as our x can indeed be negative if we desire it.

Algebraically, if we have a negative x such that:  

-y

We can divide everything by -1 to obtain:

y>x>-y

We can flip this to get:

-y

Which is our original inequality. So, Condition II does not need to be true.

So, the two conditions that <em>must</em> be true is I and III.

So, our answer is C.
