I'm pretty sure it would be $19. You can check my work to make sure.

First, I multiplied 15 by 20%, which in decimal form would be .20 or .2. I got the answer 4.00, which could also be simplified to 4. Afterwards I added 4 to 15 to add the profit the market gets when they have to pay back the $15 for pound. 4+15=19, so $19 for 20%.

Answer:

2(b - 9) \geqslant 26

Step-by-step explanation:

difference of a number and 9 means to subtract

b - 9

twice that means multiply by 2

2(b - 9)

at least is greater than or equal to

2(b - 9) \geqslant 26

A rectangle is to be inscribed in an isosceles right triangle in such a way that one vertex of the rectangle is the intersection
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

x  =  2  cm

y  = 2  cm

A(max) =  4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

The right isosceles triangle has two 45° angles and the right angle.

tan 45°  =  1  =  x / 4 - y        or     x  =  4  -  y     y  =  4  -  x

A(r)  =  x* y

Area of the rectangle as a function of x

A(x)  =  x  *  (  4  -  x )       A(x)  =  4*x  -  x²

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

A´(x)  =  4 - 2*x             A´(x)  =  0            4   -  2*x  =  0

2*x  =  4

x  =  2  cm

And  y  =  4  - 2  =  2  cm

The rectangle of maximum area result to be a square of side 2 cm

A(max)  = 2*2  =  4 cm²

To find out if A(x) has a maximum in the point  x  =  2

We get the second derivative

A´´(x)  =  -2           A´´(x)  <  0   then A(x) has a maximum at  x = 2

Well, you lost the original $100 and then you gained back $70 but gave away $70 worth of merchandise, so it evens out and you lost $100 in total

HELPP! Calculate S22 for the arithmetic sequence in which a12=2.4 and the common difference is d=3.4
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Value of S_{22} = 15.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a_{12} = 2.4 and common difference(d) = 3.4

A sequence of numbers is arithmetic i.e,  it increases or decreases by a constant amount each term.

The sum of the nth term of a arithmetic sequence is given by;

S_n =\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d), where n is the number of terms, a is the first term and d is the common difference.

We also know the nth tern sequence formula which is given by ;

a_n = a+(n-1)d                             ......[2]

First find a.

it is given that a_{12} = 2.4

Put n =12 and d=3.4 in equation [2] we have;

a_{12} = a+(12-1)(3.4)

a_{12} = a+(11)(3.4)

2.4 = a + 37.4

Simplify:

a = - 35

Now, to calculate S_{22}

we use equation [1];

here, n =2 , a =-35 and d=3.4

S_{22} = \frac{22}{2}(2(-35)+(22-1)(3.4))

S_{22} = (11)(-70+21(3.4))

S_{22} = (11)(-70+71.4)

S_{22} = (11)(1.4)

Simplify:

S_{22} = 15.4

Therefore, the sum of sequence of 22nd term i.e, S_{22} = 15.4
