A note with a face value 4300 was discounted at 3%. if discount was 21 dollars. find the length of loan in days

1 answer:

6 0

The annual discount is 3%, therefore the total discount for 1 year would be:

4300 × 3 ÷ 100 = 129$

Now, you can set a proportion:

discount : annual discount = loan days : days in one year
21 : 129 = x : 360

x = 21 × 360 / 129 = 58.6 days

Hence, the loan duration was 60 days.

Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant of variation. 2y=5x+1

coldgirl [10]

It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2 + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2

Show that sinxtanx=1-cos^2x/cosx

yawa3891 [41]

LHS: = $\sin x \tan x = \frac{\sin x \sin x }{\cos x} = \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos x}$ (using $\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}$ )

We know $\sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1 \Rightarrow \sin^2x=1-\cos^2x$ so we can replace the sin²x in the LHS expression as follows

$\frac{\sin^2x}{\cos x} = \frac{1-\cos^2x}{\cos x}$ which is the RHS.

(solving rates) At a school camp

masha68 [24]

5 days food for 150 students suggests there was 750 day rations

If there was 100 students this would last 750/100 = 7.5 days.

If it ran out after 4 days there were 750/4 = 187 students (187.5 not valid)
