Answer:
C. The cost of a box of cereal
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, we are given the number of 3 boxes of cereal, 2 loaves of bread, and that the total cost is $15. We can see these numbers in the equation, and putting it into context, we see that the 15 is on the right side of the equation, which indicates cash. Therefore, the 3 and 2 are accounted for, but their prices are unknown. X is a placeholder for the unidentified cost of a box of cereal, and we know that it's the boxes of cereal and not the loaves of bread because there are 3 and not 2.
If the boat initially cost $11850 and INCREASED in value by 10% per year, we'd calculate the final value like this:
V = $11850(1+0.10)^8
But if the boat is losing value (depreciating) over time, we'd calculate its final value like this:
V = $11850(1-0.10)^8 = $11850(0.90)^8 = $11850(0.4305) = $5101.04 (answer)
E=Z*sqrt (p(1-p)/N), where E= error margin, p=proportion, N=sample size
Katrina's margin error at 85% confidence interval: E=1.96*sqrt (p(1-p)/100) = 0.196 sqrt (1(1-p))
Mathew's margin error at 99% confidence interval: E= 2.58*sqrt (p(1-p)/400) = 0.129 sqrt (p(1-p))
Since both obtained same estimate of proportion (that is, value of p), it can be seen that Mathew's estimate will have a small error (That is, 0.129 is smaller than 0.196). This can be attributed to larger sample size although a wider confidence (99%) interval was considered.
Assume E represents the cost of an egg and T represents the cost of one piece of toast.
We can construct two equations :
2E + T = $3.00 - - - - - (a)
E + T = $1.80 - - - - - (b)
Subtract equation b from a:
E = $1.20 (The price of one egg)
To find out the price of one piece of toast, replace the price of one egg in equation b:
T = $1.80 - $1.20 = $0.60 (The price of one piece of toast)
Hope that helps you
Answer:
k=20
Step-by-step explanation:
when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0
if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid
if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit
so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4
so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4
4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20
