Given that the number of bridges has been modeled by the function:
<span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
To find the year in which, y=505000 we shall proceed as follows:
From:
</span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
substituting y=505000 we shall have:
505000=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
simplifying the above we get:
0=149(x+1.5)^2-15495
expanding the above we get:
0=149x^2+447x+335.25-15495
simplifying
0=149x^2+447x-15159.8
solving the quadratic equation by quadratic formula we get:
x~8.69771 or x~-11.6977
hence we take positve number:
x~8.69771~8.7 years~9 years
thus the year in which the number will be 505000 will be:
2000+9=2009

Harry buys a TV priced at £1200 plus 20% VAT.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

£ 114

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = 20%

Amount paid = £ 300

Amount paid monthly =.?

Next, we shall determine the VAT. This can be obtained as follow:

VAT = 20% of price of TV

VAT = 20/100 × 1200

VAT = £ 240

Next, we shall determine the total cost of the TV. This can be obtained as follow:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = £ 240

Total cost of TV =?

Total cost = Price + VAT

Total cost = 1200 + 240

Total cost = £ 1440

Next, we shall determine the balance amount he needs to pay. This can be obtained as follow:

Total cost = £ 1440

Amount paid = £ 300

Balance amount =?

Balance = Total cost – Amount paid

Balance = 1440 – 300

Balance = £ 1140

Finally, we shall determine the amount Harry will pay month.

Balance Amount = £ 1140

Number of months = 10

Amount paid monthly =.?

Amount paid monthly = Balance / number of month

Amount paid monthly = 1140 / 10

Amount paid monthly = £ 114

Therefore, Harry will pay £ 114 monthly.

frez [133]

Answer: 2\dfrac13\text{ miles per hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance traveled by Smith = \dfrac23 mile.

Time taken = \dfrac27  hour

Unit rate in miles per hour = ( Distance traveled by Smith) ÷ (Time taken)

=\dfrac23\div\dfrac27

\\\\=\dfrac23\times\dfrac72\\\\=\dfrac73\\\\=2\dfrac13\text{ miles per hour}

Unit rate  = 2\dfrac13\text{ miles per hour}
