Answer:

t = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the roots is "a", the equation can be factored as ...

(5x -a)(x -a) = 0

5x^2 -6ax +a^2 = 0

Comparing terms to the given equation, we see that ...

-6ax = -36x

a = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by -6

Then ...

a^2 = t

36 = t . . . . . . . substitute 6 for a

_____

The roots are 6 and 6/5.

Let f(x) = 4x – 5 and g(x) = 3x + 7. find f(x) + g(x) and state its domain.

Tema [17]

We are given the functions:

f(x) = 4 x – 5 ---> 1

g(x) = 3 x + 7 ---> 2

To find for the value of f(x) + g(x), all we have to do is to add equations 1 and 2:

f(x) + g(x) = 4 x – 5 + 3 x + 7

f(x) + g(x) = 7 x + 2 = y

In this case, for any real number value assign to x, we get a real number value of y. This is because the function is linear.

Therefore the domain of the function is all real numbers.

You have decided to purchase a car for $22,346.16. The credit union requires a 10% down payment and will finance the

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(b) $\$24,169.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of car is $\$22,346.16$

Sales tax is $7.6\%$

The license and title charges are $\$125.13$

To find: The amount that the credit union will finance.

Solution:

We have,

Cost of car $=\$22,346.16$

Sales tax is $7.6\%$ of $\$22,346.16$

Therefore,

sales tax $=\frac{7.6}{100}\times22,346.16=\$1698.31$

The license and title charges $=\$125.13$

Now, the amount that the credit union will finance is

cost of car $+$ sales tax $+$ the license and title charges

$=\$22346.16+\$1698.31+\$125.13$

$=\$24,169.60$

Hence, the amount that the credit union will finance is $\$24,169.60$ .

So, (b) $\$24,169.60$ is correct.
