The final price of the jacket was $32.40 after both the 10% and 40% discount. The total discount is NOT equal to a 50% discount. When 10% off, the price was $54, bringing the next 40% off to a whole different number, not necessarily off the original price.

I don't know if that makes sense to you, sorry xD

Answer:

a.) y = 3/(2ˣ)

b.) y = 1/(2ˣ)

c.) y = (π^π)ˣ

d.) y = (1/27)(1/√(3))ˣ

e.) y = .002908/(.119025ˣ)

f.) y = .00000004808/(.0413ˣ)

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept need to know is:

  • a negative exponent will flip the numerator with the denominator
  • a fraction as an exponent is just a root. so if the exponent is x^(1/2) then the root is 2 and x^(1/3) is a cube root
  • adding and subtracting exponent is the same thing as multiplying the same base.
  • so x^(1+2) = (x^1)(x^2)
  • and x^(1-2) = (x^1)(x^-2)

Pat needs to determine the height of a tree before cutting it down to be sure that it will not fall on a nearby fence. The angle
dem82 [27]

Answer:

229.23 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pictorial representation of the problem is attached herewith.

Our goal is to determine the height, h of the tree in the right triangle given.

In Triangle BOH

Tan 60^0=\dfrac{h}{x}\\h=xTan 60^0

Similarly, In Triangle BOL

Tan 50^0=\dfrac{h}{x+60}\\h=(x+60)Tan 50^0

Equating the Value of h

xTan 60^0=(x+60)Tan 50^0\\xTan 60^0=xTan 50^0+60Tan 50^0\\xTan 60^0-xTan 50^0=60Tan 50^0\\x(Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0)=60Tan 50^0\\x=\dfrac{60Tan 50^0}{Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0} ft

Since we have found the value of x, we can now determine the height, h of the tree.

h=\left(\dfrac{60Tan 50^0}{Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0}\right)\cdotTan 60^0\\h=229.23 feet

The height of the tree is 229.23 feet.

 Chocolate bars come in packs of 8 and graham crackers come in packs of 12.  What is the smallest number of chocolate bars and g
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

3 chocolate bars, and 2 graham crackers

Someone forgot the marshmallows...... :P

Step-by-step explanation:

Chocolate bars = 8 pack

Graham Crackers = 12pack

To have no crackers or chocolate left over, we need to find LCM

Factors of 8:

8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 72....

Factors of 12:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72

The smallest LCM is 24

Chocolate bars:

24/8 = 3

Graham Crackers:

24/12 = 2

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

If you like my answer and explanation, mark me as brainliest!

Error: They subtracted 9x from both sides when they should have subtracted 12. You can’t subtract unlike terms
Correct: x=-5/16
Subtract 12 from both sides to get -5 on the left and add 7x and 9x to get 16x. Divide both sides by 16 to isolate x.
