Answer:

5005

Step-by-step explanation:

70% of saving=$3850

To find the total: 3850*130% because 3850=1=100% and you still need to find the other 30% so you add another 30% which equals to 100%+30%=130%

3850*130%=5005

Detmermine the best method to solve the following equation, then solve the equation. (3x-5)^2=-125

liq [111]

For the given equation;

$(3x-5)^2=-125$

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.

Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

$\begin{gathered} (3x-5)^2\Rightarrow(3x-5)(3x-5) \\ (3x-5)(3x-5)=9x^2-15x-15x+25 \\ (3x-5)^2=9x^2-30x+25 \end{gathered}$

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} 9x^2-30x+25=-125 \\ \text{Add 125 to both sides and we'll have;} \\ 9x^2-30x+25+125=-125+125 \\ 9x^2-30x+150=0 \end{gathered}$

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{Where;} \\ a=9,b=-30,c=150 \\ x=\frac{-(-30)\pm\sqrt[]{(-30)^2-4(9)(150)}}{2(9)} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{900-5400}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-4500}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900\times5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900}\times\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Therefore;} \\ x=\frac{30+30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18},x=\frac{30-30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Divide all through by 6, and we'll have;} \\ x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

$x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3}$

William sunk 25% of the shots he made on the basket. If he threw 80 shots, how many did he miss?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He missed 20 shots

Write 25% as 25100.

25100 of 80 = 25100 × 80.

Therefore, the answer is 20.

Write each expression as an algebraic (nontrigonometric) expression in u, u > 0.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the trignometric expression:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)\text{ where } u>0$

As an algebraic equation.

First, we can focus on the inner expression. Let θ equal the expression:

$\displaystyle \theta=\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)$

Take the secant of both sides:

$\displaystyle \sec(\theta)=\frac{u}{10}$

Since secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side, this means that the opposite side is:

$\displaystyle o=\sqrt{u^2-10^2}=\sqrt{u^2-100}$

By substitutition:

$\displaystyle= \sin(2\theta)$

Using an double-angle identity:

$=2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)$

We know that the opposite side is √(u² -100), the adjacent side is 10, and the hypotenuse is u. Therefore:

$\displaystyle =2\left(\frac{\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u}\right)\left(\frac{10}{u}\right)$

Simplify. Therefore:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0$
