Lisa purchased a hat for $10, a purse for $20, and a book for $23.The sales-tax rate was 7.2 percent. What was the total amount

Vlad [161]

From information given Lisa bought three items.

10 + 20 + 23 = 53 dollars ( which is total pre- tax cost)

The sales tax rate is at 7.2% . Value of this tax in dollars will be:

7.2 % of 53 → (7.2 / 100) × 53 → 0.072 × 53 = 3.816

So the tax rate value is 3.816

Total cost of items will be 53 + 3.816 = 56. 816

Rounded off to the nearest cent 56.816 = 56.80

Therefore Lisa paid a total of $ 56.80

Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from the point ( 0 , 2 ) and ( 0 , -2 ) is 6.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the locus of a point such that the sum of the distance from any point P on the locus to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.

First, we will need the distance formula, given by:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Let the point on the locus be P(x, y).

So, the distance from P to (0, 2) will be:

$\begin{aligned} d_1&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}\end{aligned}$

And, the distance from P to (0, -2) will be:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d_2&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}\end{aligned}$

So sum of the two distances must be 6. Therefore:

$d_1+d_2=6$

Now, by substitution:

$(\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2})+(\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2})=6$

Simplify. We can subtract the second term from the left:

$\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=6-\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

Square both sides:

$(x^2+(y-2)^2)=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+(x^2+(y+2)^2)$

We can cancel the x² terms and continue squaring:

$y^2-4y+4=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+y^2+4y+4$

We can cancel the y² and 4 from both sides. We can also subtract 4y from both sides. This leaves us with:

$-8y=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

We can divide both sides by -4:

$2y=-9+3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

Adding 9 to both sides yields:

$2y+9=3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}$

And, we will square both sides one final time.

$4y^2+36y+81=9(x^2+(y^2+4y+4))$

Distribute:

$4y^2+36y+81=9x^2+9y^2+36y+36$

The 36y will cancel. So:

$4y^2+81=9x^2+9y^2+36$

Subtracting 4y² and 36 from both sides yields:

$9x^2+5y^2=45$

And dividing both sides by 45 produces:

$\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Therefore, the equation for the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6 is given by a vertical ellipse with a major axis length of 3 and a minor axis length of √5, centered on the origin.

Find the equation of the line passing<br> through the points (3,-2) and (4, 6).<br> y = 8x + [?]

Sauron [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Plug in one of the points.

y = 8x + b

6 = 8(4) + b

2.) Solve for b (or [?])

$6 = 32 + b \\ - 32 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - 32$

32 cancels out on the right side.

Subtract 32 from 6, which is -26

3.) -26 = b

4.) Check with other point:

-2 = 8(3) + b

-2 = 24 + b

Cancel out 24 on the right side: 24-24 = 0

-2 - 24 = -26

-26 = b

EVALUATE THE WORD PROBLEMS

andrezito [222]

Another effective strategy for helping students improve their mathematics performance is related to solving word problems. More specifically, it involves teaching students how to identify word problem types based on a given problem’s underlying structure, or schema. Before learning about this strategy, however, it is helpful to understand why many students struggle with word problems in the first place.

Difficulty with Word Problems

Most students, especially those with mathematics difficulties and disabilities, have trouble solving word problems. This is in large part because word problems require students to:
