Answer: 18 note pads sold and price for each is $2.03

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an algebra problem

denoting k as the price  of each note pads

denoting m as the number of notepads sold

from the problem statement "The bookstore marked some notepads down from ​$3.00 but still kept the price over ​$2.00"

k < $3.00 and k > $2.00

the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was ​$36.55

thus km = $36.55

        m  = $36.55/k

when k < $3.00 when k is maximum, m will be minimum m > $12.18

when k > $2.00 when k is minimum, m will be maximum m < $18.28

if m is the number of notepads sold, the value of m must be a whole number, then minimum value is

thus we iterate to get the minimum

for m = 15

   k = $36.55/15 = $2.44

for m = 16

   k = $36.55/16 = $2.28

for m = 17

   k = $36.55/17 = $2.15

for m = 18

   k = $36.55/18 = $2.03

for m = 19

   k = $36.55/19 = $1.92

The number of notepads sold will be 17 and the price of each notepad is $2.15

Let's assume, the price of each notepad is X and the number of notepads sold is Y

As the price of each notepad is below $3.00 and over $2.00 , that means

X < 3.00 and X > 2.00

As the number of notepads sold is Y, so the total price of all X number of notepads will be : XY

Here it is given that, the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was ​$36.55

So, XY = 36.55

⇒ Y = \frac{36.55}{X}

For X < 3.00 ,

Y > \frac{36.55}{3.00} (when X is max, then Y will be min)

⇒ Y > 12.183

and for X > 2.00,

Y < \frac{36.55}{2.00} (when X is min, then Y will be max)

⇒ Y < 18.275

As here Y is the number of notepads sold, so the value of Y must be a whole number. The minimum value of Y will be 13 and maximum value will be 18.

Now we will use hit and trial method

If Y= 13 , then X = \frac{36.55}{13} = 2.81153846....

If Y= 14 , then X = \frac{36.55}{14} = 2.6107142...

If Y= 15 , then X = \frac{36.55}{15} = 2.43666666...

If Y= 16 , then X = \frac{36.55}{16} = 2.2843..

If Y= 17 , then X = \frac{36.55}{17} = 2.15

and if Y = 18 , then X = \frac{36.55}{18} = 2.0305555...

So, for getting XY= 36.55 exactly, the value of X= 2.15 and the value of Y=17.

So, the number of notepads sold will be 17 and the price of each notepad is $2.15

East of Star, the railroad tracks intersect highway 23o as shown above. If 1=133 , find 2.
GrogVix [38]
Hi there.

These two angles sum up to be 180 degrees, so they are supplementary angles. Now, since these angles sum up to 180 degrees (to form a straight line), we only have to subtract 133 from 180 to find angle 2's measurement.

180 - 133 = 47

Angle 2's measurement is 47 degrees.

Voila! 

I hope this helps! Have a great day. :)

What is the expression in factored form? 4x^2+11x+6<br><br>Show work please!!
Irina18 [472]
To solve this I'm going to split the middle term.
First multiply the first and last terms:
24x^2
So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x.
This would be 3x and 8x
Rewrite the problem as
4x^2+3x+8x+6
Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms
4x^2 and 8x
and
3x and 6
Factor by grouping
Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2)
Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2)
Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2)
Hope this helps.

write the equation of the parabola and a vertex form and standard form given the following information​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

(9)

Here (h, k) = (3, - 2), thus

y = a(x - 3)² - 2

To find a substitute (2, 3) into the equation

3 = a(2 - 3)² - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

5 = a(- 1)² = a , then

y = 5(x - 3)² - 2 ← in vertex form

y = 5(x² - 6x + 9) - 2

   = 5x² - 30x + 45 - 2

y = 5x² - 30x + 43 ← in standard form

(10)

Here (h, k) = (2, - 5), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 5

To find a substitute (5, 4) into the equation

4 = a(5 - 2)² - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

9 = a(- 3)² = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 1

y = (x - 2)² - 5 ← in vertex form

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 5

y = x² - 4x - 1 ← in standard form
