Answer:$27

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price(cp)=$36

Percentage off=25

sale price=sp

Percentage off=(cp-sp)/cp x 100

25=(36-sp)/36 x 100

Cross multiplying we get

25x36=100(36-sp)

900=100(36-sp)

Divide both sides by 100 we get

900/100=100(36-sp)/100

9=36-sp

Collect like terms

sp=36-9

sp=27

Answer: (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the line y = -2x + 1 (which is in y = mx + b format) by plotting the y-intercept (b = 1) on the y-axis and then using the slope (m = -2) to plot the second point by going down 2 and right 1 unit from the first point:

y - intercept = (0, 1) 2nd point = ( -1, 1).

Graph the parabola y = x² - 2x - 3 by first plotting the vertex and then plotting the y-intercept (or some other point):

$y = x^2-2x-3\quad \rightarrow \quad a=1,\ b=-2,\ c=-3\\\\\text{axis of symmetry:}\ x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}\ \longrightarrow \ x=\dfrac{-(-2)}{2(1)}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{y-value of vertex:}\ f(1) = (1)^2-2(1)-3\quad \longrightarrow \quad y = 1 - 2 - 3=-4\\\\\text{y-intercept:}\ f(0)= (0)^2-2(0)-3\ \longrightarrow \ y=0 - 0 - 3 = -3 \\$

vertex = (1, -4) 2nd point (y-intercept) = (0, -3)

see attached - the graphs intersect at two points: (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

Find the area of the shape, show work pls ill give brainiest

andre [41]

Answer:

6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.

Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.

To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:

$Base_{total} = Base_{empty} + Base_{orange} \\Base_{total} = 1.9ft + 3.1 ft\\Base_{total} = 5 ft$

Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.

Now the total area can be calculated:

Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total

Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft

Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared

Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty

Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared

Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared

Determine the measure of the angle labeled (4x+7)°.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, combine like terms

4x+7=6x-9

+9 +9

4x+16=-9

-16 -16

Then divide by four to isolate x

4x=-25

x=-6.25

Plug in X to get the angle measure .

The following data were collected from 12 rain gauges in a park. Build a 95% CI for the mean rainfall at the park.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Critical values: $t_{\alpha/2}=-2.201$ $t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.201$

95% confidence interval would be given by (3.646;4.472)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The data is:

4.65 3.89 2.73 4.35 3.80 4.86 4.33 4.37 4.76 4.05 3.05 3.87

2) Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we need to have on mind the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$

=AVERAGE(4.65,3.89,2.73, 4.35, 3.8, 4.86, 4.33, 4.37, 4.76, 4.05, 3.05, 3.87)

On this case the average is $\bar X= 4.059$

=STDEV.S(4.65,3.89,2.73, 4.35, 3.8, 4.86, 4.33, 4.37, 4.76, 4.05, 3.05, 3.87)

The sample standard deviation obtained was s=0.6503

3) Find the critical value t* Use the formula for a CI to find upper and lower endpoints

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that our sample size n =12 <30 and on this case we don't know about the population standard deviation, so on this case we need to use the t distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . The degrees of freedom are given by:
