79.50-45 = 35.50 so she spent 35 dollars and 50 cents on jeans

The jeans would cost = $79.50 - $45.00 = $34.50

To check whether we got it right we would do $34.50 + $45.00 = $79.50.

Hope this helps.

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 7 feet, represented by a ve

xenn [34]

First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.

If we need the vertex to be at $x=4$ , the equation will contain a $(x-4)^2$ term.

If we start with $y=-(x-4)^2$ we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at $x=4$ and a maximum of 0.

So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be $(4, 7)$

We have

$y = -(x-4)+7$

Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at $(8,0)$ , because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want

$y = a(x-4)^2+7$

such that:

$a$
when we plug $x=8$ , we have $y=0$

Plugging these values gets us

$0 = a(8-4)^2+7 \iff 16a+7=0 \iff a = -\dfrac{7}{16}$

As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.

elaine's mother is now 38 years old. seven years from now she will be five times as old as elaine will be then. write and solve

vfiekz [6]

In seven years her mother will be 38 +7 = 45 years old.

She will be 5 times as old, so divide 45 by 5: 45/5 = 9. Elaine will be 9 years old then, so she is 9-7 = 2 years old now.

If x and y are odd numbers such that 10<x<y14, what is value of x+y?

wel

I will suppose that your queation is 10<x<y<14
there are only two odd between 10 and 14
which are 11 and 13
since x is smaller than y
x=11 and y=13
there sum will be x+y=11+13=24

in a certain store, the regular price of a refrigerator is $600. how much money is saved by buying the refrigerator at 20% off t

Advocard [28]

60$. These are my equations :
600 * 0.2 = 120 ; 600 - 120 = 480
Then...
600 * 0.1 = 60 ; 600 - 60 = 540
Which then became....
540 - 480 = 60
