Answer:

2 cats were cared for

Step-by-step explanation:

c= cats

d=dogs

c+d =7

1.5c+3.5d=20.50

c+d =7

solve for d

d = 7-c

substitute into 1.5c+3.5d=20.50

1.5 c + 3.5 (7-c) = 20.50

distribute

1.5c +24.5 -3.5 c = 20.5

combine like terms

24.5 -2c =20.5

subtract 24.5 from each side

-2c = -4

divide by -2

c =2

How do you find DE, Round to nearest 10th
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:  DE\approx6.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe in the figure given in the exercise that four right triangles are formed.

In this case you can use the following Trigonometric Identity to solve this exercise:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

From the figure you can identify that:

\alpha =53\°\\\\hypotenuse=10\\\\adjacent=BE=DE

Then, you can substitute values:

cos(53\°)=\frac{DE}{10}

The next step is to solve for DE in order to find its value. This is:

10*cos(53\°)=DE\\\\DE=6.01

Finally, rounding the result to the nearest tenth, you get that this is:

DE\approx6.0

Which represents a quadratic function ?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

\boxed{\boxed{B.\ f(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}x^2+2x-5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function-

It is a function that can be represented by an equation of the form f = ax^2 + bx + c, where a\neq 0

In a quadratic function, the greatest power of the variable is 2.

As in the first option the highest power is 3, so it is not a quadratic function.

Even though the power of x is 2 in the third option, but as it is in the denominator, so the overall power of x becomes -2. Hence it is not a quadratic function.

As the coefficient of x^2 is 0 in case of fourth option, so it is not a quadratic function.

Equation in option 2 satisfies all the conditions of quadratic function, hence it is the quadratic function.

Banabas must pay his ex-wife an amount of R350 000 in two years’ time. Calculate the amount that he must invest today to have th
White raven [17]

Answer:

He must invest R297 521 today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

Banabas must pay his ex-wife an amount of R350 000 in two years’ time.

This means that t = 2, A(t) = 350000

Interest rate of 8.15% per annum compounded monthly:

This means that r = 0.0815, n = 12.

Amount he must invest today:

This is P. So

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

350000= P(1 + \frac{0.0815}{12})^{2*12}

P = \frac{350000}{(1 + \frac{0.0815}{12})^{2*12}}

P = 297521

He must invest R297 521 today.
