Answer:

0.55

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 6 1/2% to a decimal

6.5/100=0.065

Multiply 8.50 by the 0.065

8.50*0.065=0.5525

Since we are dealing with money, we should round to the nearest cent/hundreth

0.5525=0.55

So, the sales tax will be 0.55

Hope this helps!

Practice Writing Composite Functions Given: f(x) = x - 7 and h(x) = 2x + 3 Write the rule for h(f(x)).
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

<h2>h(f(x)) = 2x - 11</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x - 7

h(x) = 2x + 3

To find h(f(x)) substitute f(x) into h(x) that's replace every x in h(x) by f(x)

That's

h(f(x)) = 2(x - 7) + 3

h(f(x)) = 2x - 14 + 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>h(f(x)) = 2x - 11</h3>

Hope this helps you

How can I find the slope to this I need help​
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Your slope is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the change in x and the change in y and put it in change in y over change in x.

Δx = -1 - -2 = 1

Δy = -1 - 0 = -1

Slope = rise over run = Change in y over change in x =  Δy/Δx = -1/1

Therefore the slope is -1/1 which is written as just -1
