Answer:

  • original cost: $195.00
  • % discount: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

I wouldn't mess with trying to set up proportions. That seems an inappropriate tool for this. Instead, make use of the known relationships between the various prices:

  original cost - discount amount = discounted price

Adding the discounted amount to both sides of this equation gives ...

  original cost = discounted price + discount amount

  original cost = $163.80 + 31.20

  original cost = $195.00

_____

The percentage discount is ...

  percent discount = (discount amount)/(original cost) × 100%

  = $31.20/$195.00 × 100%

  = 16%

The percentage discount is 16%.

F(x)=x^2+2x-5 <br> g(x)=2x+4<br> what is (f•g)(x)
Troyanec [42]

The product of the functions is  2x³ + 8x² - 2x - 20. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function is a statement, rule, or law that establishes the connection between two variables. In mathematics, functions are everywhere and are necessary for constructing physical connections.

The functions are given below.

f(x) = x² + 2x - 5

g(x) = 2x + 4

Then the product of the functions will be given as

(f•g)(x) = f(x) × g(x)

(f•g)(x) = (x² + 2x - 5) × (2x + 4)

(f•g)(x) = 2x³ + 8x² - 2x - 20

More about the function link is given below.

What is the slope of the line through (-7, -2) and (-6, 7)?
Reil [10]

Answer:

\displaystyle =9

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is

\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\displaystyle y_2=7\\\displaystyle y_1=(-2)\\\displaystyle x_2=(-6)\\\displaystyle x_1=(-7)

\frac{7-(-2)}{(-6)-(-7)}=\frac{9}{1}=9

Therefore, the slope is 9, and the correct answer is 9.

Hope this helps!

If DE=1.5m-9 and EF=4.5m-42 what is the value of DF (equilateral triangle)
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

DF = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 3 sides are congruent, then

EF = DE , that is

4.5m - 42 = 1.5m - 9 ( subtract 1.5m from both sides )

3m - 42 = - 9 ( add 42 to both sides )

3m = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )

m = 11

Thus

DE = 1.5m - 9 = 1.5(11) - 9 = 16.5 - 9 = 7.5

Then

DF = 7.5

How to find the measure of an exterior angle on a triangle
nexus9112 [7]
Hi there!

There are many ways to find the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle. I'll explain the easiest method to you. As you can see in the image, a line is drawn extending a side of the triangle. In order to find the measure of the exterior angle, we can subtract the measure of the adjacent interior angle from 180 (a straight angle). Doing this subtraction will give us the measure of the exterior angle.

Hope this helps!! :)
