Answer:

$2673

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent average cost of car 50 years ago.

We have been given that over the last 50 years, the average cost of a car has increased by a total of 1,094%. The average cost of a car today is $31,918. We are asked to find the average cost 50 years ago.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

x+1,094\%\text{ of } x=\$31,918

x+\frac{1,094}{100}* x=\$31,918

x+10.94x=\$31,918

11.94x=\$31,918

\frac{11.94x}{11.94}=\frac{\$31,918}{11.94}

x=\$2673.1993299

x\approx \$2673

Therefore, the average cost of the car 50 years ago was $2673.

To the nearest degree what is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon ?
otez555 [7]
This is the concept of geometry, the total sum of angles in a hexagon is given by:
(n-2)*180
=(6-2)*180
=720
the size of each interior angle will be:
120°
N/B
the exterior and interior angles are supplementary to each other.
Therefore the size of the exterior angle will be:
180-120
=60°
the answer is A

Can you help me with this please..
jonny [76]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so it's asking for what (1/(x-1) - 2/(x^2-1)) approaches as x approaches 1. Before we deal with the limit, let's simplify the inside.

We want to combine the two fractions into one fraction. Therefore, we need a common denominator.

1/(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/((x+1)(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/(x^2-1).

the inside expression is therefore (x+1)/(x^2-1) - 2/(x^2-1)

which simplifies to (x-1)/(x^2-1).

and that simplifies further to 1/(x+1).

Now this is a continuous function when x = 1, so to find the limit as x approaches 1 of this function, we can by definition just plug 1 in.

limx->1 (1/(x+1)) = 1/2.

The reason why we didn't just plug 1 in at the beginning is because the function wasn't continuous when x was 1.

I need some assistance on this
Elena L [17]

Answer:

1650

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is a pyramid on top of a prism.

Volume of a pyramid is V = ⅓ Ah, where A is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

Volume of a prism is V = Ah, where A is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism.

The base of both shapes is a right triangle.  The area is:

A = ½ bh

A = ½ (22) (10)

A = 110

The height of the prism is 6.  The height of the pyramid is 33 − 6 = 27.  The total volume is:

V = (110) (6) + ⅓ (110) (27)

V = 1650
