Answer:

$17 with 10% off is the cheaper book

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

to find the cheaper price, we need to find those prices and the compare

Step 1

20% off the original price of $19.99

by using a rule of three

if $19.99=100%

x? $ =20%

the relations are

$\frac{19.99}{100} =\frac{x}{20}$

isolating x

$x=\frac{19.99*20}{100}\\x=3.99$

the discount is $3.99

the price =original price- discount

price=$19.99-3.99

price(1) = $15.995

Step 2

10% off the original price of $17

by using a rule of three

if $17=100%

x? $ =10%

the relations are

$\frac{17}{100} =\frac{x}{10}$

isolating x

$x=\frac{17*10}{100}\\x=1.7$

the discount is $1.7

the price =original price- discount

price=$17-1.7

price(2) = $15.3

price(1) >price(2)

$15.995>$15.3

hence, the cheaper is the % 17 book

Have a great day.

If it is 20% off, then ur paying 80%
80% of 19.99 = 0.80(19.99) = 15.99

if it is 10% off, then ur paying 90%
90% of 17 = 0.90(17) = 15.30

so the cheaper one is : The $ 17 dollar book with the 10% off

Answer:

i) Equation can have exactly 2 zeroes.

ii) Both the zeroes will be real and distinctive.

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2} - 7x + 3$ is the given equation.

It is of the form of quadratic equation $a^{2} + bx + c$ and highest degree of the polynomial is 2.

Now, FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA

If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, then P(x) = 0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots.

So, the equation can have exact 2 zeroes (roots).

Also, find discriminant D = $b^{2} - 4ac = (-7)^{2} - 4(1)(3) = 49 - 12 = 37$

⇒ D = 37

Here, since D > 0, So both the roots will be real and distinctive.

I need step by step answers I don’t understand this

shtirl [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b)

$1.\ \text{Slope is}\ -2\to m=-2,\ \text{y-intercept is}\ -6\to b=-6\\\\\boxed{y=-2x-6}\\\\2.\ \text{Slope is}\ \dfrac{3}{7}\to m=\dfrac{3}{7},\ \text{y-intercept is}\ -1\to b=-1\\\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{3}{7}x-1}\\\\3.\ m=-8,\ b=11\\\\\boxed{y=-8x+11}\\\\4.\ m=0,\ b=-5\\\\\boxed{y=0x-5\to y=-5}\\\\5.\ m=-11,\ \text{y-intercept is}\ (0,\ 13)\to b=13\\\\\boxed{y=-11x+13}$

Can a triangle be formed with the side lenghts of 8cm, 4cm, and 12cm

ioda

No, because the sum of the measures shorter legnths of the sides must be greater than the measure of the greatest angle

4+8=12
so therefor the side legnths if you tried to make into a triangle, it would make a line 12 units long

no is the answer

Keenan scored 80 points on an exam that had a mean score of 77 points and a standard deviation of 4.9 points. Rachel scored 78 p

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Keenan's z-score was of 0.61.

Rachel's z-score was of 0.81.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Keenan scored 80 points on an exam that had a mean score of 77 points and a standard deviation of 4.9 points.

This means that $X = 80, \mu = 77, \sigma = 4.9$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{80 - 77}{4.9}$

$Z = 0.61$

Keenan's z-score was of 0.61.

Rachel scored 78 points on an exam that had a mean score of 75 points and a standard deviation of 3.7 points.

This means that $X = 78, \mu = 75, \sigma = 3.7$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{75 - 78}{3.7}$

$Z = 0.81$

Rachel's z-score was of 0.81.

There are two similar packages. The ratio of the volumes is 8:125. Determine the dimensions of the bigger package. The dimension

GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

since packages are similarsimilar packages. The ratio of the volumes is 8:125. Determine the dimensions of the bigger package. The dimensions of the smaller package are... Height= 45cm, Length= 80cm, and Width= 25cm.

Length of bigger package = 80×125/8=1250cm

Width of bigger package =25×125/8=390.625cm

Height of bigger package =45×125/8=703.125cm
