Answer:

The cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is <u>$42</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.

If a pair of jeans has a sales price of $52.50.

Now, to find the cost price of the store owner pay for the pair of jeans.

Let the cost price of jeans be x.

Sell price of jeans = \$52.50.

Now, to get the cost price of store owner pay for the pair of jeans:

<em>As given the</em><em> </em><em>store owner uses a selling price of 125% of the cost of an item.</em>

According to question:

125\%\ of\ x=52.50

\frac{125}{100} \times x=52.50

1.25x=52.50

<em>Dividing both sides by 1.25 we get:</em>

x=42.

<em>The cost price of jeans = $42.</em>

Therefore, the cost store owner pay for the pair of jeans is $42.

Find an equation of the line through (1,8) and parallel to y = 4x +3. Write the equation using function notation.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

f(x) = 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line is parallel to another line, the slopes are always equal. Therefore,  the coefficient for x has to be four. If you multiply the y-coordinate by 4, you get 4. To get 8, you have to add four, so the equation is simply f(x) = 4x+4.

Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing the leg, if the hypotenuse is 12 inches and the other leg is 7 inches
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Adjacent = 9.75 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Hypothenus = 12 inches

Opposite = 7 inches

To find the other leg i.e adjacent, we would use Pythagorean' theorem given by the formula;

Hypothenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

12² = 7² + adjacent²

144 = 49 + adjacent²

Adjacent² = 144 - 49

Adjacent² = 95

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Adjacent = 9.75 inches.

Therefore, the other leg is 9.75 inches.

Which statement is false?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:Choice A)  All points with an x-value of 3 are located in Quadrant I.

We can show it is false through the use of a counter example. For instance, the point (3, -5) is not in quadrant 1, but rather in quadrant 4.

We would need to say "all points with x value 3 and positive y value" to ensure the point is in quadrant 1.

A one-parameter family of solutions of the de p' = p(1 − p) is given below.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

A solution curve pass through the point (0,4) when c_{1} = -\frac{4}{3}.

There is not a solution curve passing through the point(0,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following solution:

P(t) = \frac{c_{1}e^{t}}{1 + c_{1}e^{t}}

Does any solution curve pass through the point (0, 4)?

We have to see if P = 4 when t = 0.

P(t) = \frac{c_{1}e^{t}}{1 + c_{1}e^{t}}

4 = \frac{c_{1}}{1 + c_{1}}

4 + 4c_{1} = c_{1}

c_{1} = -\frac{4}{3}

A solution curve pass through the point (0,4) when c_{1} = -\frac{4}{3}.

Through the point (0, 1)?

Same thing as above

P(t) = \frac{c_{1}e^{t}}{1 + c_{1}e^{t}}

1 = \frac{c_{1}}{1 + c_{1}}

1 + c_{1} = c_{1}

0c_{1} = 1

No solution.

So there is not a solution curve passing through the point(0,1).
