<span>This question can be solved as follows:

A discount offered = (100-18)(100-12)/(100*100)
B discount offered = (100-17)(100-13)/(100*100)</span>

Answer:

Manufacturer A: 0.2784 or 27.84%

Manufacturer B: 0.2779 or 27.79%

Therefore, there is not much of a relevant difference but still manufacturer A has a better offer.

Explanation:

calculating the equivalent final discount rate using the formula:

FD= [1- (1-D1(%)) x (1-D2(%))]

D1: first discount to retail price (%)

D2: second discount to the first net price (%)

FD: Final equivalent discount rate (%)

observation: the expression can always be expanded to add more chain discounts using the same principles.

*Manufacturer A 18/12

Chain Discount: D1= 18 D2= 12

FD= [1- (1- 0.18) x (1-0.12)] ≅ 0.2784

* Manufacturer B 17/13

Chain Discount: D1= 17 D2= 13

FD= [1- (1- 0.17) x (1-0.13)] ≅ 0.2779

A spherical shell with a net charge of 3Q surrounds a point charge of -q at the center of the shell. The charges on the inner an

aleksley [76]

Answer:

1) The charge on the outer shell is +4·Q

2) The charge on the inner shell is +Q

Explanation:

1) The given parameters of the spherical shell are;

The net charge on the spherical shell = 3·Q

The point charge surrounded by the spherical shell = -Q

Let 'x' represent the charge on the outer shell, and let 'y', represent the charge on the inner shell, we have;

The net charge, 3·Q = -q + x

∴ x = 3·Q + Q = 4·Q

The charge on the outer shell, x = 4·Q

2) The net charge in the shell is zero, therefore, the charge on the inner shell, 'y', is given as follows;

-Q + y = 0

∴ y = +Q

The charge on the inner shell, y = +Q

Starting from zero, the electric current takes 2 seconds to reach half its maximum possible value in an RL circuit with a resist

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

time=4s

Explanation:

we know that in a RL circuit with a resistance R, an inductance L and a battery of emf E, the current (i) will vary in following fashion

$i(t)=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$ , where $i$ max= $\frac{E}{R}$

Given that, at i(2)= $\frac{imax}{2} =\frac{E}{2R}$

⇒ $\frac{E}{2R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}})$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}=1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}=e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒ $log(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $log(2)=\frac{2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}$

Now substitute $i(t)=\frac{3}{4}imax=\frac{3E}{4R}$

⇒ $\frac{3E}{4R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$

⇒ $\frac{3}{4}=1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{4}=e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒ $log(\frac{1}{4})=\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $log(4)=\frac{t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $t=log4\frac{L}{R}$

now subs. $\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}$

⇒ $t=log4\frac{2}{log2}$

also $log4=log2^{2}=2log2$

⇒ $t=2log2\frac{2}{log2}$

⇒ $t=4$
