Let

x-------> yards of fabric used to make pillows

y-------> yards of fabric used to make curtains

T------> total yards of fabric

R-------> remaining yards of fabric

we know that

$R=T-(x+y)$

we have

$T=8\frac{1}{2}\ yards\\\\ x= 2\frac{1}{2}\ yards\\ \\y=3\ yards$

substitute in the formula above

$R=8\frac{1}{2}-(2\frac{1}{2}+3)$

$R=8\frac{1}{2}-(5\frac{1}{2})$

$R=3\ yards$

therefore

the answer is

the remaining of fabric is $3\ yards$

What is 2.01 times ten to the fifth power into standard form

disa [49]

Since, you're moving up in exponents, you will move right the number of decimal spaces equivalent to the power of the exponent. Hence, move the decimal point five spaces to the right. There, you now have your answer. :)

A boat depreciates 12.75% per year. If the boat is purchased for $7500, what is the equation of the exponential equation? How mu

allochka39001 [22]

The price of the boat in 6 years will be $(0.8725)^{6}*$7500=$3308.67$ (12,75%=0.1275 - the reduction factor of boat value; after each year the price will decrease in 0.8725 times and after six years will decrease in $0.8725^{6}$ times)

Which point is one the graph of f(x) = 2 * 5^x?

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

(0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume you meant Which point is ON the graph of f(x) = 2 * 5^x?

In order to do this question, all you need to do is pick any number as x. Lets pick 0 in this case.

f(x) = 2 * 5^x

f(0) = 2*5^0

= 2*1

= 2

So one point on the graph would be (0,2)

Why?

Because remember with functions, the f(x) can be swapped out with y, so when x = 0, y = 2.

a surveyor measures the distance to the two landmarks as shown in the diagram what is the distance d. between the landmarks

Inessa [10]

<h3>The distance between two landmarks is 123 meters</h3>

Solution:

We have to find the distance between two landmarks

Use the law of cosines

The third side of a triangle can be found when we know two sides and the angle between them

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\ cos c$

Here, angle between 90 meters and 130 meters is 65 degrees

From figure,

a = 90

b = 130

c = d

Therefore,

$d^2 = 90^2 + 130^2 - 2(90)(130)\ cos 65\\\\d^2 = 8100 + 16900 - 23400\ cos\ 65\\\\d^2 = 25000 - 23400 \times 0.4226\\\\d^2 = 25000 - 9889.267\\\\d^2 = 15110.73\\\\d = 122.92\\\\d \approx 123$

Thus, the distance between two landmarks is 123 meters
