Answer:

the store owner pays $ 42 for the pair of jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

we will make an equation that represents the cost of the item and the cost of sale

we will call x at the cost of the item we don't know the price

x * 125/100 = 52.50

Now that we have the equation we just have to clear the x

x = 52.50 / (125/100)

and finally we solve

x = 52.50 / 1.25

x = 42

the store owner pays $ 42 for the pair of jeans

Which of these is a linear equation in<br> standard form for the graph shown?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the slope is a positive slope (goes through the positive quandrants on the graph), we can eliminate answer choices c. Now, if we solve a, b, and d and we can see if the slope + y-intercept matches the graph.

For A.) (solve for y to get a y=mx + b equation)

3x-2y=4

-2y= -3x + 4

<u>y= 3/2 -2</u>

For B.)

3x-2y= -4

-2y= -4-3x

<u>y= 3/2 + 2</u>

For D.)

2x+3y= 4

3y= 4-2x

<u>y= -2/3x + 4/3</u>

Now, if we look at D, the slope is negative so it cannot be D. That leaves us with A and B. The b in the y=mx + b equation stands for the y-intercept, so we can see that the y-intercept is 2. So, since the graph intersects the y-axis at (0,2), the answer is B! y=3/2 + 2 has a positive slope and 2 for the y-intercept!

Put the following list of numbers in ascending order.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: the answer would be:

-2.6, then - 0.4, then 0.8, then 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is accenting so you want to start with the lowest number and get to the highest number. If this helps, give me a ❤️

Thanks!

Find a ·<br> b. |a| = 80, |b| = 50, the angle between a and b is 3π/4.
mart [117]

Answer:

a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: |a| = 80, |b| = 50, the angle between a and b is 3π/4.

We need to find the dot product  a · b.

The formula of dot product is

a\cdot b=|a||b|\cos \theta

where, θ is the angle between a and b.

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

a\cdot b=(80)(50)\cos (\frac{3\pi}{4})

a\cdot b=4000\cos (\pi-\frac{\pi}{4})

a\cdot b=-4000\cos (\frac{\pi}{4})           [\because \cos (\pi-\theta)=-\cos \theta]

a\cdot b=-4000\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000}{\sqrt{2}}

Rationalize the above equation.

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000\sqrt{2}}{2}

a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}

Therefore, the value of a · b is a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}.
