A bicycle has a listed price of $544.98 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 9.75%, find the total cost of the bicycle with sale

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

$598.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to make the percent into a decimal and multiply it by the price without tax: 0.0975 · 544.98, which equals 53.136 when rounded to the nearest thousandth. This means that 53.136 is 9.75% of 544.98. Then you just need to add 53.136, or 53.14 when rounded, to 544.98. This gives you $598.12.

Amy is pulling a wagon with a force of 30 pounds up a hill at an angle of 25°. Give the force exerted on the wagon as a vector a

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

$\vec F = (27.189,12.679)\,[lbf]$

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

$\vec F = (30\,lbf, 25^{\circ})$

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

$\vec F = 27.189\cdot \hat{i} + 12.679\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]$

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement we know that force exerted on the wagon has a magnitude of 30 pounds-force and an angle of 25° above the horizontal, which corresponds to the +x semiaxis, whereas the vertical is represented by the +y semiaxis.

The force ( $\vec F$ ), in pounds-force, can be modelled in two forms:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

$\vec F = \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \cos \theta, \|\vec F\|\cdot \sin \theta\right)$ (1)

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

$\vec F = \left(\|\vec F\|, \theta\right)$

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

$\vec {F} = \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \cos \theta\right)\cdot \hat{i} + \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \sin \theta \right)\cdot \hat{j}$ (2)

Where:

$\|\vec F\|$ - Norm of the vector force, in newtons.

$\theta$ - Direction of the vector force with regard to the horizontal, in sexagesimal degrees.

$\hat{i}$ , $\hat{j}$ - Orthogonal axes, no unit.

If we know that $\|\vec F\| = 30\,lbf$ and $\theta = 25^{\circ}$ , then the force exerted on the wagon is:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

$\vec F= \left(30\cdot \cos 25^{\circ}, 30\cdot \sin 25^{\circ}\right)\,[lbf]$

$\vec F = (27.189,12.679)\,[lbf]$

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

$\vec F = (30\,lbf, 25^{\circ})$

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

$\vec F = (30\cdot \cos 25^{\circ})\cdot \hat{i} + (30\cdot \sin 25^{\circ})\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]$

$\vec F = 27.189\cdot \hat{i} + 12.679\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]$

What is 36.993 to the nearest thousandth

finlep [7]

The next larger thousandth is 36.994 .
The next smaller thousandth is 36.992 .
Neither of those is any nearer to 36.993
than 36.993 already is.

The last '3' at the end of 36.993 is in the thousandths' place.
There is no more piece of another thousandth after it.
So 36.993 is already on a complete thousandth, and
there's no rounding required.

if alpha and beta are zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = x2-x-2 then find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2alpha + 1 and 2b

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, as alpha and beta are zeroes of

$x^2-x-2$

it means that their sum is alpha+beta=1 and their product alpha*beta=-2.

The polynomial whose zeroes are 2 alpha + 1 and 2 beta + 1, means that the sum of its zeroes is 2(alpha+beta)+2=2+2=4

and the product is (2alpha+1)(2beta+1)=4 alpha*beta + 2(alpha+beta) + 1 = 4 * (-2) + 2*(1) +1 = -8 + 2 + 1 = -5. so one of these polynomials is

$\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ x^2-4x-5 \ \ }$

Thank you.
