The price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Marina paid $2,000 for a tablet PC after receiving a 25 percent discount

To find: The price of the tablet before the discount

Let "a" be the price of the tablet before the discount or original price

After receiving a 25 percent discount means 25 percent discount in original price

Discount = 25 % of original price

Discount = 25 % of "a"

\begin{array}{l}{\text {discount}=\frac{25}{100} \times a} \\\\ {\text {discount}=0.25 a}\end{array}

Now we can say that,

<em>price of tablet after discount = price of the tablet before the discount - discount</em>

2000 = a - 0.25a

0.75a = 2000

a = 2666.67 ≈ 2667

Thus the price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667

Mileage tests are conducted for a particular model of automobile. If a 98% confidence interval with a margin of error of 1 mile
Llana [10]

Answer: 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha:1-0.98=0.02

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01}=2.33

margin of error : E= 1 mile per gallon

Population standard deviation: \sigma=2.6 miles per gallon.

We know that when the population standard deviation is known then the formula to find the sample size is given by  :

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma}{E})^2

n=(\dfrac{(2.33)\times 2.6}{1})^2=36.699364\approx37  [Round to the next whole number.]

Hence, the required number of automobiles should be used in the test = 37

For what values of m does the graph of y = 3x^2+ 7x + m have two x-intercepts?
qaws [65]

Answer:

m < 49/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The portion of the quadratic formula under the square root sign is the discriminant.

If the discriminant is > 0 then there are two real roots.

b² -4ac > 0

-----------------------------

7² - 4(3)m > 0

49 - 12m > 0

Subtract 49 from both sides

-12m > -49

Divide both sides by -12

(when multiplying or dividing by a negative the inequality must be reversed)

m < 49/12

The equation 2x^2 + x - 1 = 0 has two solutions. Find an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, which solutions....
leonid [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the solution to

2x^2 + x -1 =0

x^2+ (1/2)x -(1/2)

are a and b

Hence a + b = -(1/2) ( minus the coefficient of x )

ab = -1/2 (the constant)

A. We want to have an equation where the roots are a +5 and b+5.

Therefore the sum of the roots is (a+5) + (b+5) = a+ b +10 =(-1/2) + 10 =19/2.

The product is (a+5)(b+5) =ab + 5(a+b) + 25 = (-1/2) + 5(-1/2) + 25 = 22.

So the equation is

x^2-(19/2)x + 22 =0

2x^2-19x + 44 =0

B. We want the roots to be 3a and 3b.

Hence (3a) + (3b) = 3(a+b) = 3(-1/2) =-3/2 and

(3a)(3b) = 9(ab) =9(-1/2)=-9/2.

So the equation is

x^2 +(3/2) x -9/2 = 0

2x^2 + 3x -9 =0.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 234 meters.
Licemer1 [7]

I am going to show you how easy this is. Once you understand, you will be able to do this forever.

:

Assuming the side of the rectangle are (L) length and (W) width, the perimeter:

2L + 2W = 234

:

"the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide,", the equation for this statement:

L = 2W

:

In the first equation, we can replace L with 2W, then we have

2(2W) + 2W = 234

4W + 2W = 234

6W = 234

Divide both sides by 6

W = 234%2F6

W = 39 meters is the width

:

Remember it said the length is twice the width, therefore:

L = 2(39)

L = 78 meters is the length

:

:

Check this by finding the perimeter with these values

2(78) + 2(39) =

156 + 78 = 234
