$\huge\bold\red{Answer:-}$

No(0)Let the cost price of the 20 pens be ₹100.

Cost of each pen=₹100/20=₹5

Selling price of each 25 pens sold=₹100/25=₹4.

%LOSS:

If cost of each pen. = 5=100%

..selling price of each pen. = 4= ?%.

Cross multiply:5? =400

?=80%

So,%loss= 100%-80%=20%

Rebecca has a college savings plan. the equation that represents how much money she expects

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The initial amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)= 5000 * (1.08)^x$

See comment for complete question

Required

What 5000 represents

The given formula represents an exponential function

$f(x) = ab^x$

Where

$a \to$ initial value

So, by comparison:

$a = 5000$

<em>In this context, 5000 represents the initial amount</em>

Solve the equation for all values of x.<br> (8x+9)(49x^2-100)=0

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$x = \frac{-9}{8} , \frac{-10}{7} , \frac{10}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+9=0

8x=-9

$x = \frac{-9}{8}$

$49x^{2}-100 = 0$

$(7x)^{2} -10^{2} =0$ ,

$(7x+10)(7x-10)=0$

$7x+10=0, 7x-10=0$

$7x=-10, 7x=10$

$x=-\frac{-10}{7}$ , $x = \frac{10}{7}$

The string of a kite is 120 metres long and it makes an angle of 60 degree

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

103.92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The kite is making right angle with the ground and its string is acting as hypotenuse of right triangle.

Let the height of the kite from the ground be h meters.

Therefore, by trigonometrical ratio:

$\sin \theta \: = \frac{height \: of \: the \: kite}{length \: of \: the \: string} \\ \\ \sin 60 \degree \: = \frac{h}{120} \\ \\ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{h}{120} \\ \\ h = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} \times 120 \\ \\ h = \sqrt{3} \times 60 \\ \\ h = 1.732 \times 60 \\ \\ h = 103.92 \: m \\$

Thus, the height of the kite from the ground is 103.92 meters.

I MARK BRAINLIEST AND 50 points!!! find the magnitude of the resultant. forces of 92.6 lb and 118 lb act on an object. the angle

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

This a vector addition problem and you need to know the law of cosines and law of sines to solve this problem.

Two vector forces of 80lbs and 70 lbs act on an object at 40 degree angle between them.

The magnitude of the resultant force can be found by applying the law of cosines:

c2 = a2 + b2 - 2abcos140°

where a = 80, b = 70 and c is the resultant force vector you are asked to find

Once you find the magnitude of the resultant force, then you can find the angle it makes wrt the 70lb force using the law of sines:

sinα/a = sin140°/c

where α is the angle opposite side a, or the angle between the resultant and the 70lb vector that you are asked to find. so it would be 140lbs
