Answer:

The price of the camera before tax would be $ 87.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the camera before tax,

Given,

The percentage of tax = 6 %,

So, the amount of tax = 6 % of the price before tax

= 6 % of x

= 0.06x

According to the question,

The amount of tax = $ 5.25

$\implies 0.06x = 5.25$

$\implies x=\frac{5.25}{0.06}=87.5$

Hence, the price of the camera before tax is $ 87.5.

$87.50x.06=$5.25 tax
so it's the tax ($5.25/0.06)

Factor f(x) = 15x^3 - 15x^2 - 90x completely and determine the exact value(s) of the zero(s) and enter them as a comma separated

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$x=-2,0,3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=15x^3-15x^2-90x$ . We are asked to find the zeros of our given function.

To find the zeros of our given function, we will equate our given function by 0 as shown below:

$15x^3-15x^2-90x=0$

Now, we will factor our equation. We can see that all terms of our equation a common factor that is $15x$ .

Upon factoring out $15x$ , we will get:

$15x(x^2-x-6)=0$

Now, we will split the middle term of our equation into parts, whose sum is $-1$ and whose product is $-6$ . We know such two numbers are $-3\text{ and }2$ .

$15x(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0$

$15x((x^2-3x)+(2x-6))=0$

$15x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0$

$15x(x-3)(x+2)=0$

Now, we will use zero product property to find the zeros of our given function.

$15x=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0\text{ (or) }(x+2)=0$

$15x=0\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{0}{15}\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$x=0\text{ (or) }x=3\text{ (or) }x=-2$

Therefore, the zeros of our given function are $x=-2,0,3$ .

Subtract (4x − 3y) from the sum of (12x + 9y) and (−2y). A) 8x + 10y B) 8x - 10y C) 8x − 7y D) −8x + 10y

labwork [276]

(12x + 9y) + (-2y) - (4x - 3y)

= 12x + 9y - 2y - 4x + 3y

= 12x - 4x + 9y - 2y + 3y

= 8x + 10y

A) 8x + 10y

An apartment complex rents an average of 2.3 new units per week. If the number of apartment rented each week Poisson distributed

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.331$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Poisson Distribution;

Average rent in a week = 2.3

Required

Determine the probability of renting no more than 1 apartment

A Poisson distribution is given as;

$P(X = x) = \frac{y^xe^{-y}}{x!}$

Where y represents λ (average)

y = 2.3

<em>Probability of renting no more than 1 apartment = Probability of renting no apartment + Probability of renting 1 apartment</em>

<em />

Using probability notations;

$P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X =1)$

Solving for P(X = 0) [substitute 0 for x and 2.3 for y]

$P(X = 0) = \frac{2.3^0 * e^{-2.3}}{0!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{1 * e^{-2.3}}{1}$

$P(X = 0) = e^{-2.3}$

$P(X = 0) = 0.10025884372$

Solving for P(X = 1) [substitute 1 for x and 2.3 for y]

$P(X = 1) = \frac{2.3^1 * e^{-2.3}}{1!}$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{2.3 * e^{-2.3}}{1}$

$P(X = 1) =2.3 * e^{-2.3}$

$P(X = 1) = 2.3 * 0.10025884372$

$P(X = 1) = 0.23059534055$

$P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X =1)$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.10025884372 + 0.23059534055$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.33085418427$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.331$

Hence, the required probability is 0.331

What is the perimeter of a square with side length 2x-3

NeTakaya

Perimeter of a square: side length * 4, since squares have equal side lengths

Take 2x - 3 for the side length and plug it into the formula.

(2x - 3) * 4 can be rewritten as 4(2x - 3)

Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.

8x - 12 = perimeter of the square
