Answer:

2.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is the regular price times the discount

discount = 19 *15%

discount = 2.85

The new price is the regular price minus the discount

new price = 19-2.85

                 =16.15

Now she has to pay the sales tax

tax = new price * tax rate

tax= 16.15 * 6.5%

     = 16.15 *.065

       =1.05

We add the tax to the new price to get the final price

final price = new price+tax

                = 16.15 +1.05

                =17.20

She pays with a 20 dollar bill

Change = payment - final price

              =20.00 - 17.20

              = 2.80

Sphinxa [80]
1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

Add 900 to it:

6180 is less than 6200, so 1 mile and 900 feet is less than 6200 feet.

A polynomial function upper P left parenthesis x right parenthesis with rational coefficients has the given roots. Find two addi
mylen [45]

Given that a polynomial function P(x) has rational coefficients.

Two roots are already given which are i and 7+8i,

Now we have to find two additional roots of P(x)=0

Given roots i and 7+8i are complex roots and we know that complex roots always occur in conjugate pairs so that means conjugate of given roots will also be the roots.

conjugate of a+bi is given by a-bi

So using that logic, conjugate of i is i

also conjugate of 7+8i is 7-8i

Hence final answer for the remaining roots are (-i) and (7-8i).
