Answer:

(4x+3)/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the integer for value of stock originally = x

On Tuesday, it was decreased by 1/2 , x-1/2 =1/2x

On wednesday, the value inceased by 3/4=1/2x + 3/4= (2x+3)/4

Thursday the value decreased by 3/8 ,= (2x+3)/4 -3/8 =(4x+3)/8

1. To the nearest degree, find the measure of angle A.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

(1) Option A is correct , The measure of angle A = 26°

(2) Option D is correct, The measure of angle B =70°

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

In a right angle triangle figure-1 ,

* Hypotenuse(H) is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle.

* Adjacent side (B) is the non-hypotenuse side that is next to a given angle A.

* Opposite side(P) is across from a given angle A.

To find the Angle A we use the Cosine ratio:

Cosine ratio states that the ratio of the adjacent side of a right triangle to the hypotenuse.

By definition of cosine ratio we have;

$\cos A = \frac{B}{H}$ ....[1]

In the figure - 1 we have B = 18 in and H = 20 in

substitute these in [1] to find angle A

$\cos A =\frac{18}{20} =\frac{9}{10} = 0.9$

or

$A = cos^{-1} (0.9)$

⇒ $A \approx 26^{\circ}$

therefore, the measure of angle A is, $26^{\circ}$

(2)P

In figure -2

Find the measure of angle B.

First find the side BC, using Pythagoras theorem;

Pythagoras theorem states that in the right angle triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Apply Pythagoras theorem in rt. angle ABC;

$AB^2 = AC^2+BC^2$

Substitute the values of AB = 5.1 cm and AC =4.8 cm to solve for BC

$(5.1)^2=(4.8)^2 +BC^2$

$26.01 = 23.04+BC^2$

Simplify:

$BC^2 = 2.97$ or

$BC = \sqrt{2.97} =1.723 cm$

Now, find the angle B, using tangent ratio;

Tangent ratio states that the ratio of the Opposite side of a right triangle to the adjacent side.

$\tan B = \frac{AC}{BC} =\frac{4.8}{1.732} =2.772$

$B = \tan^{-1} (2.772) \approx 70^{\circ}$

Therefore, the measure of angle B is; $70^{\circ}$ .

Can someone help me with this task please? !!

viva [34]

Answer:

we need to get your brain thinking in this way. that you begin to understand how to do these things.

airways to say that your brain is not working that way, is not a valid excuse. we need to change that. your brain needs to get used to this way of thinking.

so, please, please, PLEASE go through the explanations below and tell me, where exactly in these explanations you stopped understanding what I was saying. so that I can better explain to you what is happening.

1. (0, -2)

2. 4

3. a geometric sequence. the common ratio is -2.0

4. the third option

5. the fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

1. as x increases, y decreases. until, suddenly after x=0, this tendency reverses, and with increasing x also y increases. so, this is a turning point.

2. look at the line. it only starts with x>0 (it looks like x is around 1).

"input" is all the values of x the function has a defined result for (y = result values).

so, as there is no line for negative x, we can eliminate the first 2 answers.

x=0 is no valid answer either (as mentioned above, the line only starts well after x=0).

in the answer options the only x value having an y value above or below this x value is x=4.

3. look at the difference between 2 numbers next to each other in the sequence.

2.4 to -4.8

-4.8 to 9.6

and so on.

what do we need to do to get from the left to the right ?

we need to multiply by -2.

so, the relationship between "sequence item n" (an) to "sequence item n-1" (an-1) is a ratio, a multiplication factor :

an/an-1 = -2

4. it is completely simple. a function can be many things. on an x/y coordinate grid it can have gaps, it can have sharp direction changes,...

but there us one thing a function can never have : multiple different y values for one x value.

in the first graph x=2 has two different y values (-1 and -3). so, it is not clear what the result for x=2 would be. and that means, it is not a function.

in the second graph x=4 has two different y values.

in the third graph all is OK.

in the fourth graph x=-2 has two different y values.

so, only the third option is a function.

5. this function calculates the height of the thrown rock after t seconds of flight.

therefore, only the fourth answer makes sense.

The start-up cost to join eTunes music is $7.95 plus $0.95 per song downloaded. If Will spent $26, write and solve a linear equa

Oksanka [162]

Y = 0.95x + 7.95
26 = 0.95x + 7.95
Solve for x
26-7.95 =0.95x
18.05/0.95 = x
X = 19 songs
