You want to buy three books that are on sale at 20% off. The original prices of the books are $2.50, $4.95, and $6.00. How much

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$2.69

Step-by-step explanation:

The original prices of the books are $2.50, $4.95, and $6.00.

You want to buy three books that are on sale at 20% off (or 0.2 as decimal).

In total, you'll save:

$0.2\cdot \$2.50+0.2\cdot \$4.95+0.2\cdot \$6$

Uce distributive property:

$0.2\cdot \$2.50+0.2\cdot \$4.95+0.2\cdot \$6\\ \\=0.2\cdot (\$2.50+\$4.95+\$6.00)\\ \\=0.2\cdot \$13.45\\ \\=\$2.69$

Sergio [31]

Answer:

D. 4(2x² + 4x - 6); 130.0 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Margot is sewing a ribbon on a seam along the perimeter of a square pillow. The side length of the pillow is 2x²+1 inches. She plans to make a similar pillow, including the ribbon, whose side length is 4x−7 inches. What expression can be used for the length of ribbon that she needs for both pillows, and what is the length if x = 3.5?

2x2+4x−6; 22.0 inches

2x2+4x−6; 32.5 inches

4(2x2+4x−6;) 88.0 inches

4(2x2+4x−6;) 130.0 inches

Perimeter of a square = 4 * side length

1- First square pillow

length = 2x²+1 in

Perimeter of first pillow = 4 * (2x²+1) in

Second square pillow

length = 4x-7 in

Perimeter of second pillow = 4(4x-7) in

Total ribbon length required = perimeter of first square pillow + perimeter of second square pillow

Total ribbon length required = 4(2x²+1) + 4(4x-7)

Factorise

4 is the common factor

=4(2x²+1)+(4x-7)

=4(2x²+1+4x-7)

=4(2x²+4x-6)

Total ribbon length required=4(2x²+4x-6)

If x=3.5

Total ribbon length required=4(2x²+4x-6)

=4{2(3.5)²+4(3.5)-6}

=4{2(12.25)+14-6)

=4(24.5+14-6)

=4(32.5)

=130.0 inches

As shown at the right, rectangle abcd has vertices c and d on the. V-axis and vertices a and b on the part of the parabola y — 9

Sergio039 [100]

a) The <em>perimeter</em> function of the rectangle is $p = 18\cdot x -2\cdot x^{3}$ .

b) The domain of the <em>perimeter </em>function is $x \in [-3, 3]$ .

<h3>How to analysis the perimeter formula of a rectangle inside a parabola</h3>

a) The perimeter of a rectangle ( $p$ ) is the sum of the lengths of its four sides:

$p = AB\cdot AC$ (1)

If we know that $AB = 2\cdot x$ and $AC = 9-x^{2}$ , then the perimeter of the rectangle is represented by the following formula:

$p = 2\cdot x \cdot (9-x^{2})$

$p = 18\cdot x -2\cdot x^{3}$

The <em>perimeter</em> function of the rectangle is $p = 18\cdot x -2\cdot x^{3}$ . $\blacksquare$

b) The domain of the function is the set of values of $x$ associated to the function. After a quick inspection, we find that the domain of the <em>perimeter </em>function is $x \in [-3, 3]$ . $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and poorly formatted. The correct form is described below:

<em>As shown at the right, rectangle ABCD has vertices C and D on the x-axis and vertices A and B on the part of the parabola </em> $y = 9-x^{2}$ <em> that is above the x-axis. a) Express the perimeter </em> $p$ <em> of the rectangle as a function of the x-coordinate of A. b) What is the domain of the perimeter function?</em>
