Answer:
(x-1)² = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x)=x²−2x−2
Completing x²−2x−2 = 0 to square
- x²−2x − 2=0
- x²−2x + 1 - 3 =0
- (x - 1)² - 3 = 0
- (x - 1)² = 3
Correct choice is D
Answer:
The sum of two numbers is 18.
5 times the first number subtracted from 4/7 of the second number is 14.
First number --> x
Second number --> y
so
x + y = 18 --> x = 18-y
5x - (4/7)y = 14
so
5 (18-y) - (4/7)y = 14
90 - 5y - 4/7 y = 14
-5.57 y = 14-90
y = 13.64
so
x = 18 - 13.64
x = 4.36
150 divided by 25 is 6, so I think it would be 6 hours to equal the total cost.
Answer:
204/841
Step-by-step explanation:
17/29 times 12/29
Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate.
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
