35% off means 35% of the original price, $625.00, will be subtracted from that original price. 35% is equal to 0.35.

$625.00 - $625.00(0.35) = $625.00 - $218.75 = $406.25

Answer:

The actual cost of the sound system is $961.54.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

$625.00 model is on sale for 35% off

This means that $625 is 100-35 = 65% of the original price. How much is 100%?

x - 1

625 - 0.65

0.65x = 625

x = 625/0.65

x = $961.54.

The actual cost of the sound system is $961.54.

Find the set of values of k for which the line y=kx-4 intersects the curve y=x²-2x at 2 distinct points?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$-6 < k < 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = x^2 - 2x$

$y =kx -4$

Required

Possible values of k

The general quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

Subtract $y = x^2 - 2x$ and $y =kx -4$

$y - y = x^2 - 2x - kx +4$

$0 = x^2 - 2x - kx +4$

Factorize:

$0 = x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 +x(-2 - k) +4=0$

Compare the above equation to: $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

$a = 1$

$b= -2-k$

$c =4$

For the equation to have two distinct solution, the following must be true:

$b^2 - 4ac > 0$

So, we have:

$(-2-k)^2 -4*1*4>0$

$(-2-k)^2 -16>0$

Expand

$4 +4k+k^2-16>0$

Rewrite as:

$k^2 + 4k - 16 + 4 >0$

$k^2 + 4k - 12 >0$

Expand

$k^2 + 6k-2k - 12 >0$

Factorize

$k(k + 6)-2(k + 6) >0$

Factor out k + 6

$(k -2)(k + 6) >0$

Split:

$k -2 > 0$ or $k + 6> 0$

So:

$k > 2$ or k $> -6$

To make the above inequality true, we set:

$k < 2$ or $k >-6$

So, the set of values of k is:

$-6 < k < 2$

A model rocket is launched into the air from ground level.

Anon25 [30]

$p(x)=-16x^2+32x

p(x)=0
$

$-16x^2+32x = 0$

$-16x(x-2)=0$

$x_1=0, x_2=2$

Rocket will be in the air for 2 seconds.

Which operation is used for the equation down below

mario62 [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+8=9

you want to isolate the variable so you subract 8 from both sides

2x=1

now you want x by itself so you divide by 2 on both sides

x=1/2 or x=0.5

Hope this helped :)
