Answer: The retails cost is 1.45 times that of wholesale cost.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the retail cost of a tv is 45% more than its wholesale cost.

We are to find the retail cost cost is how many times the wholesale cost.

Let x and y represents the retail cost and the wholesale cost of the tv.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x=y+45\%\times y\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=y+\dfrac{45}{100}y\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=y+0.45y\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.45y.$

Thus, the retails cost is 1.45 times that of wholesale cost.

Let the retail cost be x and the wholesale cost be y. From the first statement, we can formulate the equation written below:

x = y + 0.45y
x = 1.45y
Therefore, the retail cost is 1.45 times greater than the wholesale cost.

Answer:

y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ]. We can use the points (0, 3) and (3, 0) to solve.

0-3/3-0

-3/3

-1

From the graph, the y-intercept is (0, 3). Input all the data we know into the slope intercept form expression [ y = mx + b ].

y = -x + 3

Best of Luck!

Answer:

$980

Nvm you have to multiply 98 by 10 since there are 10 participants. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first we wanted to find how much the morning classes cost together. You have to $28 multiplied with 75/100. I am multiplying it with 75/100 instead of 25/100 because the discount cuts off the 25% and the 75% is what you still have to pay. This will give you 2100/100 which is $21. Now you have to multiply $21 with 2 since there are two morning classes. $21 x 2 equals $42. Total for Morning Classes is $42.

Now the other two classes don't have a discount. So all you have to do is $28 x 2 or $28 + $28. This gives you $56. Total for The Other Classes is $56.

Last Step:

Total for Morning Classes + Total for the Other Classes = $56 + $42

= $98

Hope that helped! :)

Answer:

$\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2} \leq x < 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities

They relate one or more variables with comparison operators other than the equality.

We must find the set of values for x that make the expression stand

$\displaystyle \frac{6x^5+11x^4-11x-6}{(2x^2-3x+1)^2} \leq 0$

The roots of numerator can be found by trial and error. The only real roots are x=1 and x=-1/2.

The roots of the denominator are easy to find since it's a second-degree polynomial: x=1, x=1/2. Hence, the given expression can be factored as

$\displaystyle \frac{(x-1)(x+\frac{1}{2})(6x^3+14x^2+10x+12)}{(x-1)^2(x-\frac{1}{2})^2} \leq 0$

Simplifying by x-1 and taking x=1 out of the possible solutions:

$\displaystyle \frac{(x+\frac{1}{2})(6x^3+14x^2+10x+12)}{(x-1)(x-\frac{1}{2})^2} \leq 0$

We need to find the values of x that make the expression less or equal to 0, i.e. negative or zero. The expressions

$(6x^3+14x^2+10x+12)$

is always positive and doesn't affect the result. It can be neglected. The expression

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2$

can be 0 or positive. We exclude the value x=1/2 from the solution and neglect the expression as being always positive. This leads to analyze the remaining expression

$\displaystyle \frac{(x+\frac{1}{2})}{(x-1)} \leq 0$
