Answer:

The chief way the government gets the money it spends is through taxation. Figure 1 shows the relative sizes of sources of federal government tax revenues. Forty-five percent of federal tax revenue comes from individuals' personal income taxes. Another 39 percent comes from Social Security and Medicare withholdings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine whether the two figures are similar. If so, give the similarity ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure. The

zloy xaker [14]

We have that

smaller figure
ha=8.7
ra=1.6

larger figure
hb=10.44
rb=1.92

ha/hb=8.7/10.44----> 0.83
ra/rb=1.6/1.92-------> 0.83
ratio smaller figure to the larger figure
1.6/1.92-------> divided by 1.6 both members[1.6/1.6]/[1.92/1.6]-------> 1/1.2

the ratio ha/hb is equal to the ratio ra/rb
so
the smaller figure and the larger figure are similar
and
the ratio smaller figure to the larger figure is equal to----> 1/1.2

the answer is
the option yes 1/1.2

One of the roots of the quadratic equation dx^2+cx+p=0 is twice the other, find the relationship between d, c and p

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$c^2 = 9dp$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$dx^2 + cx + p = 0$

Let the roots be $\alpha$ and $\beta$

So:

$\alpha = 2\beta$

Required

Determine the relationship between d, c and p

$dx^2 + cx + p = 0$

Divide through by d

$\frac{dx^2}{d} + \frac{cx}{d} + \frac{p}{d} = 0$

$x^2 + \frac{c}{d}x + \frac{p}{d} = 0$

A quadratic equation has the form:

$x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

So:

$x^2 - (2\beta+ \beta)x + \beta*\beta = 0$

$x^2 - (3\beta)x + \beta^2 = 0$

So, we have:

$\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta$ -- (1)

and

$\frac{p}{d} = \beta^2$ -- (2)

Make $\beta$ the subject in (1)

$\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta$

$\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}$

Substitute $\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}$ in (2)

$\frac{p}{d} = (-\frac{c}{3d})^2$

$\frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}$

Multiply both sides by d

$d * \frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}*d$

$p = \frac{c^2}{9d}$

Cross Multiply

$9dp = c^2$

$c^2 = 9dp$

Hence, the relationship between d, c and p is: $c^2 = 9dp$

International Juice Inc. plans to introduce a new line of fruit juices with three different flavors: cherry, grape and apple. 50

Tanya [424]

Cherry sales as a % of total sales = (0.5 x 1.2)/(0.5 x 1.2 + 0.2 x 1.4 + 0.3 x 1.6) = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.28 + 0.48) = 0.6 / 1.36 = 0.4412 = 44.12%

Therefore, 44.12% of the total sales will be cherry.

Determine the value of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation: 4x2- 8x = 3

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B. a = 4, b = -8, c = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation given is:

$4x^2- 8x = 3$

The general form of a quadratic equation is given as:

$ax^2 + bx +c = 0$

Let us put the given equation in this form and then compare with the general form of the quadratic equation.

$4x^2- 8x = 3\\\\4x^2 - 8x - 3 = 0$

Therefore, by comparing:

a = 4

b = -8

c = -3

The correct option is B

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 ft. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides. What

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²
