Remember that slope is change in y (height) over change in x (horizontal distance). We set up a proportion to find the horizontal distance from the base of the ramp to the end of the truck.

slope= \frac{ChangeInHeight}{ChangeInHorizontalDistance} = \frac{2}{5}= \frac{4feet}{x}   \\ 
 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4feet}{x} \\ 
2x = 20feet \\ 
x = 10feet

Using the graph as your guide, complete the following statement.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

positive

Step-by-step explanation:

the discriminant of the function is postive.

because from the graph we notice that it has 2 intercepts on x-axis, which means the function has 2 real solution when y=0

that implies the discriminant is positive.

\Delta = \sqrt{b^2-4ac}

if \Delta > 0 we have 2 distinct real solution

if \Delta we have no real solution but 2 complex solutions

if \Delta = 0 we have 2 identical real solution

"sam's furniture was destroyed by a fire. the furniture cost $1200 when it was purchased, but similar new furniture now costs $1
oee [108]
Deprecated means the price is decreased, so if something is deprecated by 50% (which just means 1/2 is taken away) its original price is just cut in half. so half of 1200 (1200 divided by 2) is 600. i think the answer is 600 :-)

A cell phone that regular costs $780 is on sale for 15% off. What is the total cost of the phone if you have to pay 5.5% sales t
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Regular cost of cell phone= $780

discount = 15%

tax = 5.5%

Step two

Let us compute the discounted amount

= 15/100*780

=0.15*780

=$117

hence the selling price is

=780-117

=$663

Also, the tax-deductible is

=5.5/100*663

=0.055*663

=$36.465

The total cost of the phone will be

=663+36.465

=699.465

=$700 to the nearest cent
