Answer:

The amount of sales tax Joanna will pay is $3.323

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of the backpack =  $37.98

Sales tax = 8.75%

To Find:

Amount of sales tax that Joanna will pay  = ?

Solution:

Sales tax imposed by the government on the goods that are sold or on the services that is provided. It is collected by the seller who sells the goods

Sales tax  =\frac{\text{sales tax percentage}}{100} \times price

On Substituting the values

Sales tax  = \frac{8.75}{100} \times 37.98

sales tax  = 0.0875 \times 37.98

sales tax  = 3.323

A guitar string is plucked at a distance of 0.6 centimeters above its resting position and then released, causing vibration. The
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The equation that represents the motion of the string is given by:

y =Ae^{-kt}\cos(2\pi ft)     .....[1] where t represents the time in second.

Given that: A = 0.6 cm (distance above its resting position) , k = 1.8(damping constant) and frequency(f) = 105 cycles per second.

Substitute the given values in [1] we get;

y =0.6e^{-1.8t}\cos(2\pi 105t)  

or

y =0.6e^{-1.8t}\cos(210\pi t)  

(a)

The trigonometric function that models the motion of the string is given by:

y =0.6e^{-1.8t}\cos(210\pi t)

(b)

Determine the amount of time t that it takes the string to be damped so that -0.24\leq y \leq0.24

Using graphing calculator for the equation

y =0.6e^{-1.8x}\cos(210\pi x)

let x = t (time in sec)  

Graph as shown below in the attachment:

we get:

the amount of time t that it takes the string to be damped so that -0.24\leq y \leq0.24 is, 0.5 sec

How do you read this expression 8(8x+7) and 8(3x)+8(7)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

64x+56 & 24x+56

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this is what you mean because this is not an equation as it is not set equal to anything.


Both problems solved by distributive property -

8*8x + (8*7) = 64x+56

8*3x + (8*7) = 24x+56
