Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He sells them 8 dollars and uses 5 dollars worth of material.

His profit is 8 - 5 = 3 dollars.

He has to sell enough to overcome the 1200 dollars.

1200 / 3 = 400

He breaks even after selling 400 widgets.

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturer spends $5 to make each widget and sells them for $8.  This means that each widget gives him a profit of $3.

8 - 5 = 3

You need to figure out how many widgets it will take for the manufacturer to make up for the costs each month ($1200).

3x = 1200

(3x)/3 = 1200/3

x = 400

The manufacturer needs to sell 400 widgets.

Which ordered pair tells the location of the smiley face on the coordinate system?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(5,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to look to the X axis and you'll see the smiley face 5 bars/lines across from the vertex or 0.

Next, you'll need to look at the Y axis and see that the smiley face is 2 bars/lines vertically from 0.

So all you need to do is put the numbers into (x,y) and you'll get (5,2)


Hope this helps!

I need help finding the reference angles for these angles.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Convert the angles to degrees. Remember there are 2pi radians in a circle, and a circle has 360 degrees, so conversion factor is 180degrees/pi. Then you can easily approximate the reference angle. Remember you make the reference angle from the positive x-axis and the reference angle will be the angle between the terminal side and the nearest x-axis (either positive side or negative side of the x-axis).
1)1.4 * \frac{180degrees}{pi} = 80.214 degrees
2)-1.4 \pi * \frac{180degrees}{ \pi } = -252 degrees

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this
Firlakuza [10]
The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, t_{\frac{1}{2}} after a time, t, is given by:

N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{  \frac{1}{2} }}

Given that <span>potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\  \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5

Therefore, </span><span>the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.</span>
