In order to clear out room for new merchandise, James decided to mark down some of the items for sale in his electronics store.

He marked down DVD players by 36%, and he marked down stereo tuners by 22%. If DVD players cost $41.60 after the markdown and stereo tuners cost $69.42 after the markdown, which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

Answer:

a) Which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced?

The DVD player's price was reduced more by $3.82 than the stereo tuner's price.

b) Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.82 =

3.82 × 100 cents

= 382 cents

The DVD player's price was reduced by 382 cents more than the stereo tuner's price

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets day the original price of the DVD player was $100

We are told the price was marked down to 36%

36% of $100 = $36

$100 - $36 = $64

We are told the DVD cost $41.60 after the markdown.

Original cost of DVD =

$41.60/$64 × 100 = $65

Lets the original price of the Stereo player was $100

We are told the price was marked down to 22%

22% of $100 = $22

$100 - $22 = $78

We are told the DVD cost $69.42 after the markdown.

Original cost of Stereo =

$69.42/$78 × 100 = $89

DVD = $65 - $41.60 = $23.40 less

Stereo = $89 - 69.42 = $19.58 less

Difference between the DVD and the Stereo is

$23.40 - $19.58 = $3.82

Therefore,the DVD player's price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner's price

Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.82 =

3.82 × 100 cents

= 382 cents

High concentrations of carbon monoxide CO can cause coma and possible death. The time required for a person to reach a COHb leve

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

A) 10.38hours

B) 617.95 is the concerntration of CO

Step-by-step explanation:

A) when x=600

T= 0.0002x^2 - 0.316x + 127.9

T= 0.0002(600)^2 -0.316(600) + 127.9

T= 10.38secs

B) to find the concerntration, use Almighty formular

X=-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a

0.0002x^2-0.316x-127.9=9

0.0002x^2 - 0.316x + 118.9=0

X= 0.316 +- sqrt(0.316^2) -4(0.0002×118.9)/(2×0.0002)

X= 0.316+(0.68817/0.0004)=962.05 or

X=-0.316 -0.68817/0.0004 =617.95

Therefore X is within the domain of 617.95 is the concerntration

Suma numerelor de forma a4b cu produsul cifrelor 24 este egala cu

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Raspuns corect: b)

Step-by-step explanation:

a4b=24, a×4×b=24⇒a×b=6

perechile de numere cu produsul 6 sunt: {1,6} si {2,3}

a4b in baza 10=100a+40+b

100×1+40+6=146

100×6+40+1=641

100 ×2+40+3=243

100×3+40+2=342

146+641+243+342=1372

Use the Ratio Test to determine the convergence or divergence of the series. If the Ratio Test is inconclusive, determine the co

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h2>A. The series CONVERGES</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If $\sum a_n$ is a series, for the series to converge/diverge according to ratio test, the following conditions must be met.

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n}| = \rho$

If $\rho$ < 1, the series converges absolutely

If $\rho > 1$ , the series diverges

If $\rho = 1$ , the test fails.

Given the series $\sum\left\ {\infty} \atop {1} \right \frac{n^2}{5^n}$

To test for convergence or divergence using ratio test, we will use the condition above.

$a_n = \frac{n^2}{5^n} \\a_n_+_1 = \frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}$

$\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = \frac{{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}}}{\frac{n^2}{5^n} }\\\\ \frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\$

$\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n^2+2n+1)}{5^n*5^1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\\$

aₙ₊₁/aₙ =

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2+2n+1}{5n^2}| \\\\Dividing\ through\ by \ n^2\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2/n^2+2n/n^2+1/n^2}{5n^2/n^2}|\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{1+2/n+1/n^2}{5}|\\\\$

note that any constant dividing infinity is equal to zero

$|\frac{1+2/\infty+1/\infty^2}{5}|\\\\$

$\frac{1+0+0}{5}\\ = 1/5$

$\rho = 1/5$

Since The limit of the sequence given is less than 1, hence the series converges.
