The next three are 36, 30, and 24
Subtract to find the amount of tax paid:
1890 - 1800 = 90
Divide the amount of tax by the price of the computer:
90 / 1800 = 0.05
Multiply the decimal by 100:
0.05 x 100 = 5%
The tax rate is 5%
Answer:
Solutions are 2, -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
or 2, -1 + 1.58 i and -1 - 1.58i
(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).
Step-by-step explanation:
The real solution is x = 2:-
x^3 - 8 = 0
x^3 = 8
x = cube root of 8 = 2
Note that a cubic equation must have a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case). We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-
a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).
Here a = x and b = 2 so we have
(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0
To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-
Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2
= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2
= -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
The equation of the line follows the following general structure:
Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
Find the corresponding values in the given formula, this way:
In the given equation, m has a value of -1/2, it means the slope is -1/2.
