Answer:

Retail price of  each hammer is $ 13.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Whole sale cost of each hammer is   $8.50

Whole sale price means the discounted price of each hammer at the time of purchase.

Retails price is the selling price marked on each hammer which is marked up by 60 % on the whole sale price

As we know that

Marking up the price of any commodity by X % above its retails price means charging a price X% higher than the cost of the good or service

Retail price of one hammer

(Whole sale price of one + 60 % * Whole sale price of one hammer)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get-

8.50 + \frac{60}{100} * 8.50\\= 8.50 + 0.60 * 8.50\\= 13.6

Retail price of  each hammer is $ 13.60

I dont understand how to do this precalc question
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

  • x-intercept:  (-0.1, 0)
  • Horizontal Asymptote: y = -3
  • Exponential <u>growth</u>

(First answer option)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>General form of an exponential function</u>

y=ab^x+c

where:

  • a is the initial value (y-intercept).
  • b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form:
    If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
    If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.
  • y=c is the horizontal asymptote.
  • x is the independent variable.
  • y is the dependent variable.

Given <u>exponential function</u>:

y=4(10)^x-3

<h3><u>x-intercept</u></h3>

The x-intercept is the point at which the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0.  To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 into the given equation and solve for x:

\begin{aligned}& \textsf{Set the function to zero}:& 4(10)^x-3 &=0\\\\& \textsf{Add 3 to both sides}:& 4(10)^x &=3\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by 4}:& 10^x &=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\& \textsf{Take natural logs of both sides}:& \ln 10^x &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Apply the power log law}:&x \ln 10 &=\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\\\\& \textsf{Divide both sides by }\ln 10:&x&=\dfrac{\ln\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}{\ln 10} \\\\& \textsf{Simplify}:&x&=-0.1\:\:\sf(1\:d.p.)\end{aligned}

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-0.1, 0) to the nearest tenth.

<h3><u>Asymptote</u></h3>

An <u>asymptote</u> is a line that the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.

The <u>parent function</u> of an <u>exponential function</u> is:

f(x)=b^x

As<em> </em>x approaches -∞ the function f(x) approaches zero, and as x approaches ∞ the function f(x) approaches ∞.

Therefore, there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

This means that a function in the form  f(x) = ab^x+c always has a horizontal asymptote at y = c.  

Therefore, the horizontal asymptote of the given function is y = -3.

<h3><u>Exponential Growth and Decay</u></h3>

A graph representing exponential growth will have a curve that shows an <u>increase</u> in y as x increases.

A graph representing exponential decay will have a curve that shows a <u>decrease</u> in y as x increases.

The part of an exponential function that shows the growth/decay factor is the base (b).  

  • If b > 1 then it is an increasing function.
  • If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function.

The base of the given function is 10 and so this confirms that the function is increasing since 10 > 1.

Stella buys 6 tacos and 4 enchiladas for 52 dollars. Eliana buys 7 tacos and 9 enchilladas for 78 dollars.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Let tacos be x and enchiladas be y

6 tacos + 4 enchiladas = 52

becomes

6x+4y=52

^^that's our first equation

Now, the second equation

7 tacos + 9 enchiladas = 78

7x+9y = 78

^^^that's our second equation

Isolate y in the first equation:

6x+4y=52

4y=52-6x

y = (52-6x)/4

^^^Let's call this equation 3

Now, sub-in equation 3 into equation 2

*replace the y*

Equation 2: 7x+9y = 78

Sub-in

7x+ <u>9 ( (52-6x)/4)</u> = 78

Do some algebra (get your x terms on one side) and you will find your x value

7x + <u>117 - 13.5x</u> = 78

(7x-13.5x) = 78-117 *get your x terms on one side

x=6

That's the cost of one taco.

Now, find y. Pick an equation (1,2 or 3). Let's pick 3 since y is already isolated.

All you do is plug in your x value.

Equation 3: y = (52-6x)/4

y= (52 -6(6))/4

...

You should be able to solve this on your own

Step-by-step explanation:

:)) You can solve for y now

Angles 1 and 2 or complementary. If &lt;1 measures 29.6°, then what is the measure of &lt;2?
Sever21 [200]
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees so if one is 29.6 degrees you subtract 29.6 from 90 so the answer is 60.4 degrees.

What is 77 percent as a fraction in simplest form
natka813 [3]
In order to take a percentage and change it to a fraction we have to place 77 over 100 because it's a whole number.

So, your fraction is 77/100 in simplest form because nothing goes into both equally.
