Answer:

<u>The original price of the coat was £ 275</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Sale price of the coat = £ 220

Discount from the original price = 20%

2. Let's find the original price of the coat

Original price of the coat = x

Sale price of the coat = £ 220

Sale price of the coat = x - 20%x

220 = x - 0.2x

220 = x - 2x/10 (0.2 = 2/10)

2,200 = 10x -2x (Multiplying by 10 at both sides)

2,200 = 8x

2.200/8 = 8x/8 (Dividing by 8 at both sides)

275 = x

<u>The original price of the coat was £ 275</u>

Write the equation of the line that contains the points (5,7) and (5, -12):
Ainat [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you first have to find the slope, which is y2-y1/x2-x1

Which is -12-7/5-5 and that equals to undefined.

So since you can't find the slope the answer should be undefined.

Hope this helps <3

Which graph best represents the function f(x) = 3(1.5)x?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

B). graph of increasing exponential function going through point (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f\left(x\right)=3\left(1.5\right)^x

Now we need to find about which of the given choices best describes the given function. Where given choices are:

A). graph of increasing exponential function going through point 0, 2

B). graph of increasing exponential function going through point 0, 3

C). graph of increasing exponential function going through point 0, 1

D). graph of increasing exponential function going through point 0, 4

plug x=0 into given function

f\left(x\right)=3\left(1.5\right)^x

f\left(0\right)=3\left(1.5\right)^0=3(1)=3

Hence graph passes through point (0,3).

growth factor 1.5 is greater than 1 so that means it is increasing function.

Hence correct choice is:

B). graph of increasing exponential function going through point (0, 3)

Two vertical buildings 57 meters apart are 158 meters and 237 meters high. Find the angle of elevation from the top of the short
miskamm [114]

Given :

Two vertical buildings 57 meters apart are 158 meters and 237 meters high.

To Find :

The angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building to the top of the taller building.

Solution :

Distance between height of building, h = 237 - 158 = 79 m.

Distance between these building , d = 57 m.

Now,

tan\ \theta = \dfrac{h}{d}\\\\tan\ \theta = \dfrac{79}{57}\\\\tan\ \theta = 1.386\\\\\theta = tan ^{-1} 1.386\\\\\theta = 54.19^{\circ}

Therefore, the angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building to the top of the taller building is 54.19°.

Hence, this is the required solution.
