Answer:

Price of Caleb's groceries before tax = $64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of groceries before tax be =$ $x$

Sales tax charged = $1.60

Sales tax rate =2.5%

Sales tax charged in terms of $x$ will be = 2.5% of the Original price of grocery = $2.5\% of x = 0.025\times x=0.025x$

So, we have,

$0.025x=1.60$

Dividing both sides by $0.025$

$\frac{0.025x}{0.025}=\frac{1.60}{0.025}$

∴ $x=64$

∴ Price of Caleb's groceries before tax = $64

PUT THESE NUMBERS IN ORDER GREATEST TO LEAST ✔✔ I WILL ADD BRAINLIST

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

2 12/16, 2 18/25, and lastly 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 is least, we can put that at the end. That leaves us with 2 18/25 and 2 12/16. Since 12/16 is greater, we will put that as the greatest. 2 18/25 is in the middle. Hope this helps!

Find the angle between u =the square root of 5i-8j and v =the square root of 5i+j.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The angle between vector $\vec{u} = 5\, \vec{i} - 8\, \vec{j}$ and $\vec{v} = 5\, \vec{i} + \, \vec{j}$ is approximately $1.21$ radians, which is equivalent to approximately $69.3^\circ$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two vectors can be found from the ratio between:

their dot products, and
the product of their lengths.

To be precise, if $\theta$ denotes the angle between $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ (assume that $0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ$ or equivalently $0 \le \theta < \pi$ ,) then:

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}$ .

<h3>Dot product of the two vectors</h3>

The first component of $\vec{u}$ is $5$ and the first component of $\vec{v}$ is also

The second component of $\vec{u}$ is $(-8)$ while the second component of $\vec{v}$ is $1$ . The product of these two second components is $(-8) \times 1= (-8)$ .

The dot product of $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ will thus be:

$\begin{aligned} \vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = 5 \times 5 + (-8) \times1 = 17 \end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Lengths of the two vectors</h3>

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to both $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ :

$\| u \| = \sqrt{5^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{89}$ .
$\| v \| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{26}$ .

<h3>Angle between the two vectors</h3>

Let $\theta$ represent the angle between $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ . Apply the formula $\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}$ to find the cosine of this angle:

$\begin{aligned} \cos(\theta)&= \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} = \frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $\theta$ is the angle between two vectors, its value should be between $0\; \rm radians$ and $\pi \; \rm radians$ ( $0^\circ$ and $180^\circ$ .) That is: $0 \le \theta < \pi$ and $0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ$ . Apply the arccosine function (the inverse of the cosine function) to find the value of $\theta$ :

$\displaystyle \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\right) \approx 1.21 \;\rm radians \approx 69.3^\circ$ .

Help me solve this please ill give good rating...

Answer: For the first part, her total savings would be $88, and for the second part, (let's pretend s = the total savings) the equation would be s = 40 + w x 6.

Step-by-step explanation: As for the first part, we would need to multiply her money per week times the amount of weeks she works. We can do this by simply multiplying the amount she makes (6) by the amount of weeks she works (8), resulting in 48, but we still have to add that number to the amount she already has, or 40, making $88 in total, as for the second part, this does a great job of explaining the reasoning behind that as well. Hope this answered your question!
