A 5% discount indicates that her total purchase amount will be decreased by 5%. Paying full price could be shown as 1.00, so we must subtract 0.05 from the full price to represent the discounted total (1.00-0.05 = 0.95).
Only one choice, D, contains this multiplier so we can be certain of this answer.

A tourist starts to walk up a mountain path that is 31 miles long at the rate of 4 miles per hour. After walking for a while, he

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

He pays to the cab driver for 25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let us consider he walks x miles at the rate of 4 miles per hour.

As we know $Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Therefore, time taken is: $Time=\frac{x}{4}$

He get a taxi for (31-x) miles at the rate of 50 miles per hour.

Therefore, time taken is: $Time=\frac{31-x}{50}$

It took 2 hours after he started.

That means the sum of time take is 2 hours.

$\frac{x}{4}+\frac{31-x}{50}=2$

$\frac{25x+62-2x}{100}= 2$

$23x+62= 200$

$23x= 138$

$x= 6$

Hence he walk 6 miles and he get a taxi for 31-6=25 miles.

He pays to the cab driver for 25 miles.

What is the value of h when the function is converted to vertex form?

elena-s [515]

Answer: h=7

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the function in vertex form is:

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

You must group the terms that contain the same variable in the function:

$f(x)=(x^{2}-14x)+29$

Complete the square as following:

$f(x)=(x^{2}-14x+49)+29-49$

Now you must rewrite it as following:

$f(x)=(x-7)^{2}-20$

Then:

h=7

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

keeping track of family relations can be difficult. If Edna marries your mother’s uncle Charlie, what should you call her? If your father’s cousin’s daughter just had a baby boy, how should you two be introduced? Who is your “great great aunt”, and how can you find your “first cousin twice removed”? Fortunately, a bit of mathematical logic can clarify who should be called what, and why – and even measure the degree of genetic similarity between different relatives.

The first side of a triangle is 3 inches shorter than the second side, and 2 inches longer than the third side. How long is each

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

the length of the first side of the triangle is $\frac{28}{3}\ in$

the length of the second side of the triangle is $\frac{37}{3}\ in$

the length of the third side of the triangle is $\frac{19}{3}\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the first side of a triangle

y----> the length of the second side of a triangle

z---> the length of the third side of a triangle

we know that

$x=y-3$

$y=x+3$ -----> equation A

$x=z+3$

$z=x-3$ -----> equation B

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

$P=x+y+z$

$P=28\ in$

so

$28=x+y+z$ -----> equation C

substitute equation A and equation B in equation C

$28=x+(x+3)+(x-3)$

solve for x

$28=3x$

$x=\frac{28}{3}\ in$

Find the value of each side

the first side of a triangle is x

$x=\frac{28}{3}\ in$

the second side of a triangle is y

$y=\frac{28}{3}+3=\frac{37}{3}\ in$

the third side of a triangle is z

$z=\frac{28}{3}-3=\frac{19}{3}\ in$

Please i need help with this rn

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{f(9) = 12}$

Evaluating f(x) at x = 9 means we must use the piecewise function where x = 9 is included.

f(x) = 12 includes 9 because a "≤" is inclusive of the interval. Thus:

f(9) = 12
