Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

51,200 divided by 52. (52 weeks in a year.) 984.615385 is answer. So each week he gets paid $984.62. So then we multiply that by 3 since we are finding 40% of 3 weeks of pay. $984.62x3= $2953.86. Then we multiply that by 40%.. $2953.86x40%= Answer is $11181.54

1. Find the distance from point P to QS

12345 [234]

Answer:

5.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from point P to QS is the distance from point P (1, 1) to the point of interception R(-3, 5).

Use distance formula to calculate distance between P and R:

$PR = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$P (1, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$R(-3, 5) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values into the formula.

$PR = \sqrt{(-3 - 1)^2 + (5 - 1)^2}$

$PR = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (4)^2}$

$PR = \sqrt{16 + 16}$

$PR = \sqrt{32}$

$PR = 5.7 units$ (to nearest tenth)

The first three terms of an arithmetic series are 6p+2, 4p²-10 and 4p+3 respectively. Find the possible values of p. Calculate t

Doss [256]

Answer:

First Case:

$\displaystyle p=\frac{5}{2}\text{ and } d=-2$

Second Case:

$\displaystyle p=-\frac{5}{4}\text{ and } d=\frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the first three terms of an arithmetic series are:

$6p+2, 4p^2-10, \text{ and } 4p+3$

Since this is an arithmetic sequence, each subsequent term is <em>d</em> more than the previous term, where <em>d</em> is our common difference.

Therefore, we can write the second term as;

$4p^2-10=(6p+2)+d$

And, likewise, for the third term:

$4p+3=(6p+2)+2d$

Let's solve for <em>d</em> for each of the equations.

Subtracting in the first equation yields:

$d=4p^2-6p-12$

And for the second equation:

$2d=-2p+1$

To avoid fractions, let's multiply the first equation by 2. Hence:

$2d=8p^2-12p-24$

Therefore:

$8p^2-12p-24=-2p+1$

Simplifying yields:

$8p^2-10p-25=0$

Solve for <em>p</em>. We can factor:

$8p^2+10p-20p-25=0$

Factor:

$2p(4p+5)-5(4p+5)=0$

Grouping:

$(2p-5)(4p+5)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$\displaystyle p_1=\frac{5}{2} \text{ or } p_2=-\frac{5}{4}$

Then, we can use the second equation to solve for <em>d</em>. So:

$2d_1=-2p_1+1$

Substituting:

$\begin{aligned} 2d_1&=-2(\frac{5}{2})+1 \\ 2d_1&=-5+1 \\ 2d_1&=-4 \\ d_1&=-2\end{aligned}$

So, for the first case, <em>p</em> is 5/2 and <em>d</em> is -2.

Likewise, for the second case:

$\begin{aligned} 2d_2&=-2(-\frac{5}{4})+1 \\ 2d_2&=\frac{5}{2}+1 \\ 2d_2&=\frac{7}{2} \\ d_2&=\frac{7}{4}\end{aligned}$

So, for the second case, <em>p </em>is -5/4, and <em>d</em> is 7/4.

By using the values, we can determine our series.

For Case 1, we will have:

17, 15, 13.

For Case 2, we will have:

-11/2, -15/4, -2.
