Given :

A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs $30.08.

That price decreases by $0.42 for every game lost during the regular season.

To Find :

What equation could you use to find the cost C of a ticket after L losses.

Solution :

Let, n is number of match loses and P is the price of ticket.

So, equation is given by :

P = 30.08 - (0.42)n .......1)

Putting n = 27 in above equation,we get :

P = 30.08 - ( 0.42 )( 27 )

P = $18.74

Therefore, the price of a ticket after the team loses 27 games is $18.74 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

One winter night the temperature fell 13 degrees between midnight and 5 A.M. By 9 A.M.the temperature had doubled from what it w

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

23 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 9 from 29 to find the temperature at 9 A.M. The temperature at 9 A.M. was 20 degrees. The temperature from 5 A.M. doubled to get to the temperature at 9 A.M., so divide 20 by 2. The temperature at 5 A.M. was 10 degrees. The temperature from midnight to 5 A.M. fell 13 degrees, so add 13 to get the temperature at midnight. 13+10=23. It was 23 degrees at midnight.

the length of a rectangle is 6in.more than than its width .Its area is 50 sq.in Find the width of the rectangle....

yulyashka [42]

L=6+W
A=LW
sub 6+W for L
A=(6+W)(W)
expand
oh, A=50
50=W²+6W
minus 50 both sides
0=W²+6W-50
we gots to use quadratic formula
for
aW²+bW+c=0
W= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$
we got
a=1
b=6
c=-50

W= $\frac{-(6)+/- \sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(-50)} }{2(1)}$
W= $\frac{-6+/- \sqrt{36+200} }{2}$
W= $\frac{-6+/- \sqrt{236} }{2}$
W= $\frac{-6+/- 2\sqrt{59} }{2}$
W= $-3+/- \sqrt{59}$

W= $-3+ \sqrt{59}$ or W= $-3- \sqrt{59}$
aprox
W=-10.6811 or W=4.68115
can't be negative width

width=4.68115 or -3√59

The measure of angle A to the nearest tenth of a degree is: A 18.5 B 19.5 C 20.5

Andrew [12]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is a right triangle as shown by the right angle.</u>

The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse, which is 9.
The side opposite angle A is 3.

So we have the opposite of A and the hypotenuse.

The trigonometric ratio that relates opposite side to hypotenuse is SINE.

$sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Since, we need angle A, $\theta$ is A, opposite side is 3, and hypotenuse is 9, we substitute:

$sinA=\frac{3}{9}\\sinA=\frac{1}{3}$

<em>To solve for the angle, we use our calculator and find the inverse sin of $\frac{1}{3}$ :</em>

$A=sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})\\A=19.47$

<em>Rounding to nearest tenth of a degree:</em>

$A=19.5$

B is the right choice.

What is the equation of the line in the following graph? 1)y=x+2

Levart [38]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have two points (2, 0) and (-2, -4). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-4-0}{-2-2}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}=1$

Therefore we have the equation of a line

$y=1x+b\to y=x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (2, 0) to the equation:

$0=2+b$ <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

$-2=b\to b=-2$

Answer: $\boxed{y=x-2}\to\boxed{3)}$

Triangle ABC has vertices A(0,6) B(4,6) C(1,3). Sketch a graph of ABC and use it to find the orthocenter of ABC. Then list the s

Allisa [31]

For line B to AC: y - 6 = (1/3)(x - 4); y - 6 = (x/3) - (4/3); 3y - 18 = x - 4, so 3y - x = 14

For line A to BC: y - 6 = (-1)(x - 0); y - 6 = -x, so y + x = 6

Since these lines intersect at one point (the orthocenter), we can use simultaneous equations to solve for x and/or y:

(3y - x = 14) + (y + x = 6) => 4y = 20, y = +5; Substitute this into y + x = 6: 5 + x = 6, x = +1

<span>So the orthocenter is at coordinates (1,5), and the slopes of all three orthocenter lines are above.</span>
