alex and Lara have $21.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 35% discount. They both want to purchase a

copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if he has enough to purchase the book, Alex takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Lara takes 65% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Alex correct? Is Lara correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences, and show your work.

Alex is correct the book would cost $18.52 before taxes adding 10% tax the book would cost an additional $1.85 for a total of $20.37. This would be just under the $21.00 that both Alex and Laura had to spend. Laura tried to combined the 35% discount which you cannot do. So yes they both would be able to purchase the book.

Can someone help me find the functions zeros
Amiraneli [1.4K]

\bf g(x) = 2(x-3)^2-8\implies \stackrel{g(x)}{0}=2(x-3)^2-8\implies 8=2(x-3)^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{8}{2}=(x-3)^2\implies 4=(x-3)^2\implies \pm\sqrt{4}=x-3\implies \pm 2 = x-3 \\\\\\ \pm 2 +3 = x\implies x = \begin{cases} 5\\ 1 \end{cases}

Enter and solve a polynomial equation for the situation described.
klasskru [66]

Height = x (This is given)

Length = 5x

Width = 6x

Volume = length × width × height

The equation will be: (5x)(6x)(x) = 1920

simplify:

30x² × (x) = 1920

30x³ = 1920

Divide both sides by 30

x³= 64

x = ∛64

x= 4

If x = height, then, the height is 4cm

5x = length

20cm = length

6x = width

24cm = width
