Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two different ways to do this - solve for x in the given equation or substitute the value for x and see if you get a true statement.

3x + 7 = 13 subtract 7 from both sides

3x = 6 divide by 3 on both sides

x = 2

3(3) + 7 = 13

9 + 7 = 13

16 ≠ 13

Therefore, x = 3 is not a solution for 3x + 7 = 13.

Sum-R-Fun sells a jet ski for $6,700 which includes tax. They offer an installment plan that requires 20% down. After that, the

nlexa [21]

Answer:

1) The initial down payment is $1,340

2) The total monthly payment is $7,200

3) The total cost of the jet ski on the installment plan is $8,540

4) The finance charge is $1,840

Step-by-step explanation:

The financing model of Sum-R-Fun for a jet ski are as follows;

Sum-R-Fun selling price of a jet ski = $6,700

The initial down payment = 20% of the selling price of the jet ski

The amount the customer pays per month = $200

The duration or the period of the monthly payment = 3 years

1) The initial down payment = 20/100 × $6,700 = $1,340

2) The total monthly payment = Number of months per year × Number of years × The monthly (installment) payment

∴ The total monthly payment = 12 × 3 × $200 = $7,200

3) The total cost of the jet ski on the installment plan = The initial down payment + The total monthly payment

∴ The total cost of the jet ski on the installment plan = $1,340 + $7,200 = $8,540

4) The finance charge is the cost of the credit given as follows;

The finance charge = The total cost of the jet ski on the installment plan - Sum-R-Fun selling price of a jet ski

∴ The finance charge = $8,540 - $6,700 = $1,840

How many solutions does a triangle with side lengths a = 4, A = 112º and b =<br>9 have?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

This case has NO solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you are in a case of an obtuse triangle (one of its angles is larger than 90 degrees), the side opposite to the obtuse triangle is shorter than the side adjacent to the angle, so no actual triangle can be formed.

This can be found by simply trying to apply the Law of Sines to solve for the value of angle "B" opposite to side "b":

$\frac{sin(A)}{a} =\frac{sin(B)}{b}\\sin(B)=\frac{b\,sin(A)}{a}\\sin(B)=\frac{9\,sin(112^o)}{4}\\\\sin(B)=2.086$

As shown above, we get an impossible mathematical condition (also call an absurd), since the sine of an angle cannot give a value larger than 1 (one).

Therefore, there is no angle we can find to build a triangle with the given data.

Find the range of the following equation for the domain {-4, 0, 3} f (x) = -2x^2 -3

Tamiku [17]

The range of the function is {-34, -2, -20}

<h3>How to determine the range?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = -2x^2 - 2

The domain is {-4, 0, 3}

Substitute the domain values in the function.

f(-4) = -2(-4)^2 - 2 = -34

f(0) = -2(0)^2 - 2 = -2

f(3) = -2(3)^2 - 2 = -20

This means that the range of the function is {-34, -2, -20}
