9514 1404 393

Answer:

  367.92

Step-by-step explanation:

72 = 9·8

In order for the total cost to be divisible by both 8 and 9, it must meet a couple of requirements:

  • The sum of the digits must be divisible by 9.
  • The last three digits must be divisible by 8.

In order for the sum of digits to be divisible by 9, the first and last digits must total 5 or 14. (The total of existing digits is 22. The sum needs to be 27 or 36.)

In order for the last three digits to be divisible by 8, the last digit must be 2*. So, the first digit must be 5-2=3.

The first digit is 3; the last digit is 2.

The total cost is 367.92. Each item price is 367.92/72 = $5.11.

_____

* 790/8 = 98.75, so (790 + 2)/8 will be 99. <em>792</em> is the only number starting with <em>79</em> that is divisible by 8.

What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two decimal places? (apex) 5+8*In x=15.8
Sliva [168]

Option A : $x=3.86$ is the solution of the equation.

Explanation:

The equation is $5+8 \ln x=15.8$

To determine the value of x, let us simplify the equation.

Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we have,

$5+\ 8  \ ln \ x-5=15.8-5$

Simplifying, we get,

8 \ ln \ x= 10.8

Now , dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we get,

$\ ln \ x=1.35$

Using the logarithmic definition that if $\log _{a}(b)=c$ then $b=a^{c}$

Thus, rewriting the above expression $\ ln \ x=1.35$ using the logarithmic definition, we have,

$\ln \ x =1.35$ ⇒ $x=e^{1.35}$

Substituting the value of e^{1.35}$=3.85742... , we get,

$x=3.85742 \ldots$

Rounding off the answer to two decimal places, we get,

$x=3.86$

Hence, the solution of the equation is $x=3.86$

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

If the table shown below represents a function, then which is the possible value for f?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

C 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabolic function

Notice how we go negative and then positive

y = ax^2 +bx+c

Let x = 0

-5 = a(0) + b(0) +c

c = -5

y = ax^2 + bx -5

Let x = 3

4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5

Let x=-3

4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5

Add the two equations

4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5

4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5

----------------------------

8 = 2a (3)^2 - 10

18 = 2 a(9)

18 = 18a

a =1

Solving for b

4 = 1(3)^2 -b(3) -5

4 = 9 -3b -5

4 = 4 -3b

0 = -3b

0 =b

The equation is

y = (x)^2  -5

Letting y = -1

-1 =x^2 -5

Adding 5 to each side

4 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

±2 = x

x= ±2

Given the choices

Please help,<br> Find the perimeter of the figure to the nearest hundredth
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

36.56 in

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is the sum of all sides

u add all the sides of the square by 6

6+ 6 + 6 + 6 = 24

circumference is the line around the circle

circumference = 3.14 x diameter

c = 3.14 x 4

c = 12.56

24 + 12.56 = 36.56

to the NEAREST HUNDREDTH????? ok welll thats alr

remember

5 or more, raise the score

4 or less, let it rest

this should be fine since the last 6 is alr in the hundredth place :)
