Answer:

A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations (2 unknowns and two equations, d is for a DVD and b is for a book):

For David: 3d+4b=40

For Anna: d+6b=18

Now multiply the second equation with -3 and add to the first equation:

3d+4b=40

−3d−18b=−54

Combined equation: −14b=−14 and b=1 (means that each book is worth $1).

 

Now for DVD price, use the second equation:

d=18−6 or d=12 (means that each DVD  is worth $12).

A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.

A sign is in the shape of a rhombus with a 60° angle and sides of 12 cm long. Find its area to the nearest tenth. Select one: a.
murzikaleks [220]
The area of a rhombus can be computed from its side (s) and angle (θ) by
.. A = s^2*sin(θ)
For your numbers, this is
.. A = (12 cm)^2*sin(60°) ≈ 124.7 cm^2

I really need help guys can some one plz help me it's for 10 points

Answer:

\sqrt{8}----- 2units,2units

\sqrt{7} ------\sqrt{5}units,\sqrt{2}units

\sqrt{5}-------1unit,2units

3------2units, \sqrt{5}units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean's theorem to solve each pair individually.

The instructions say that you have the two sides (a and b) and you have to match it with their hypothenuse.

Formula: c^2=a^2+b^2

1. a=\sqrt{5}, b=\sqrt{2}

Plug this into the formula.

c=\sqrt{(\sqrt{5} )^2+(\sqrt{2})^2 }

The square here eliminates the roots.

c=\sqrt{5+2}\\ c=\sqrt{7}

2. a=\sqrt{3}, b=4

c=\sqrt{(\sqrt{3} )^2+(4)^2}\\ c=\sqrt{3+16}\\ c=\sqrt{19}

3. a=2, b=\sqrt{5}

c=\sqrt{(2)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2 }\\ c=\sqrt{4+5}\\ c=\sqrt{9}\\ c=3

4. a=2, b=2

c=\sqrt{(2)^2+(2)^2}\\ c=\sqrt{4+4}\\ c=\sqrt{8}

5. a=1, b=2

c=\sqrt{(1)^2+(2)^2}\\ c=\sqrt{1+4}\\ c=\sqrt{5}

The following function represents the value of a house after x years: f(x) = 242,000(0.96)x What does 0.96 represent?
9966 [12]

Because the 0.96 is less than 1, it means that the house loses value over the years.

Convert 0.96 to a percent: 0.96 = 96%

100% - 96% = 4%

The house loses 4% of it's value every year.
