Answer:

Discount = $290.76 × 0.2 = $58.15

Cost After Discount = $290.76 - $58.15 = $232.61

Sales Tax = 0.0625 × $232.61 = $14.56

How Much You Pay = $232.61 + $14.56 = $247.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount:

290.76 × 0.2* = 58.152

Round that to 58.15

* Turn 20% into a decimal (0.2)

Cost after Discount:

290.76 - 58.15 = 232.61

Sales Tax:

First turn 6.25 % into a decimal. Which would be 0.0625.

0.0625 × 232.61* = 14.556875

Then we round to the nearest hundredth and you get 14.56.

* We us the amount after the discount instead of the original price.

How much you pay:

232.61 + 14.56 = 247.17

Find the value of k such that x-2 is a factor of 3x³-kx²+5x+k

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$\displaystyle k = \frac{34}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the polynomial:

$\displaystyle P(x) = 3x^3 - kx^2 + 5x + k$

And we want to determine the value of k such that (x - 2) is a factor of the polynomial.

Recall that the Factor Theorem states that a binomial (x - a) is a factor of a polynomial P(x) if and only if P(a) = 0.

Our binomial factor is (x - 2). Thus, a = 2.

Hence, by the Factor Theorem, P(2) must equal zero.

Find P(2):

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(2) &= 3(2)^3 - k(2)^2 + 5(2) + k \\ \\ &= 3(8) - 4k + 10 + k \\ \\ &= 34 - 3k \end{aligned}$

This must equal zero. Hence:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 34 - 3k &= 0 \\ \\ -3k &= -34 \\ \\ k = \frac{34}{3} \end{aligned}$

In conclusion, k = 34/3.

For exercise, mr.harris walked 1 and 3 fourths miles 5 times last week.how many miles did he walk in all?

RUDIKE [14]

Well, if he walked one and three fourths miles five times, all you have to do is multiply one and three fourths and five to get your answer.

$1 \frac{3}{4}*5 \\ \\ \frac{7}{4}* \frac{5}{1} \\ \\ \frac{7*5}{4*1} \\ \\ \frac{35}{4} =8 \frac{3}{4}$
