In each of the following expressions, c represents the original cost of an item

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

i . 0.10c

Step-by-step explanation:

Just plug a random number, idk what number you'd choose. But my lucky number is 10 so 0.10 x 10 = 1 which is 10% of the original cost XD

yea..hope this helps! :D

The graph represents the function (check picture)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

a = 1 and b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets look to the graph to solve the problem

- f(x) is a rational function with:

# numerator ⇒ x² - 4x + 3

# denominator ⇒ x² + ax + b

- To find the values of a and b lets use the hole and the vertical

asymptote in the graph of the function

∵ There is a hole at x = 3

- The hole appears when the numerator and the denominator have

a common factor

∵ x = 3 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x - 3 = 0

∴ The numerator and the denominator have a factor (x - 3)

- The vertical asymptotes appear at the zeros of the denominator

that means the values of x when the denominator = 0

∵ There is a vertical asymptote at x = -4

∵ x = -4 ⇒ add 4 for both sides

∴ x + 4 = 0

∴ The denominator has another factor (x + 4)

- The denominator x² + ax + b has two factors (x - 3) and (x + 4) lets

multiply them to find the value of a and b

∵ (x - 3)(x + 4) = (x)(x) + (x)(4) + (-3)(x) +(-3)(4)

∴ (x - 3)(x + 4) = x² + 4x - 3x - 12 = x² + x - 12

∴ x² + ax + b = x² + x - 12

- By comparing the two sides

∴ a = 1 and b = -12

When the sun is at 31 above the horizon, a tree casts a 42 ft. shadow. how tall is the tree?

Fantom [35]

Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

A beam of light from a monochromatic laser shines into a piece of glass. The glass has thickness L and index of refraction n=1.5

boyakko [2]

Additional information to complete the question:

How long does it take for a short pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other?

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables f and L. Use the numeric value given for n in the introduction.

T = ___________ s

Answer:

$T = \frac{15}{f}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Thickness og glass = L

Index of refraction n=1.5

Frequency = f

$Wavelength = \frac{L}{10}$

λ(air) $= \frac{L}{10}$

λ(glass) = λ(air) / n

= $\frac{\frac{L}{10}}{1.5}$

= $\frac{L}{10} * \frac{1}{1.5}$

= $\frac{L}{15}$

V(glass) = fλ(glass)

$= f * \frac{L}{15}$

$T = \frac{L}{V_{glass}} = \frac{15}{f}$

The population of a city has increased by 27% since it was last measured. If the current population is 38,100, what was the prev

adoni [48]

Answer:

the previous population was 62,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current population of a city = 83,700

The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.

We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.

Let the previous population be p

p +(35% × p) = 83,700

p + 0.35p = 83,700

1.35p = 83,700

p =

p = 62,000

Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
