An item cost $500 before tax,and the sales tax is $45.  Find the sales tax rate as a percentage.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

(2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this by using the equation that was given. y=x+1.

This mean that the starting point would be the coordinate (0,1) and the x is the slope, which means that from coordinate (0,1) I will go up one and one to the right until I intersected with coordinate (2,3).

A culture started with 5,000 bacteria. After 4
Tresset [83]

Answer: After 13 (12) hours, there would be 6,500 bacteria across the culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria grew by 500 each 4 hours, so to know how much there would be 13 hours later:

Simple, add 500 bacteria to every 4 hours until you reach 13 hours. 4 = 5.5k, 8 = 6k, 12 = 6.5k. Now, 12 is closer to 13 than anything we would've gotten if we kept going.

And there's your answer.

How many extraneous solutions does the equation below have?
FrozenT [24]

<u>Answer</u>

0


<u>Explanation</u>

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3)=1

Simplifying the left hand first

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3) = {2m(2m-3) - 2m(2m+3)}/(4m²-9)

                                        (4m²-6m-4m²-6m)/(4m²-9)

                                         = (-12m) / (4m²-9)

Now this equet to 1

(-12m) / (4m²-9) = 1

-12m =  4m²-9

4m²+ 12m -9 =0 ⇒⇒⇒ This is a quadratic equation that has 2 real solutions.

4m²+ 12m -9 =0

m² + 3m + (3/2)²= 9/4 + 9/4

(m + 3/2)² = 18/4

m = √18/2 - 3/2                or m = -√18/2 - 3/2

    = 0.621                                       = -3.621

So we can say that the equation has NO extraneous solutions.

There are 5 x 10 = 50 different outcomes.

Of them only  3x10, 4x10, 4x9, 4x8, 5x10, 5x9, 5x8, 5x7 and 5x6 are greater or equal than 30. Those are 9 possibilities.

Then 50 - 9 =  41 are the possibilities that the product of the two numbers is less than 30.

The probalility, then, is 41/50 = 0.82

By applying the law of sines and some algebraic handling, the length of the side LJ is approximately equal to 3.517 units. (Right choice: D)

<h3>What is the missing side of the triangle according to the law of sines?</h3>

The law of sines presents a relationship between sides and <em>opposite</em> angles, which is described below:

9/sin 89° = LJ/sin 23°     (1)

LJ = 9 × sin 23°/sin 89°

LJ ≈ 3.517

By applying the law of sines and some algebraic handling, the length of the side LJ is approximately equal to 3.517 units. (Right choice: D)
