Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder theorem tells you that the remainder from division of f(x) by (x-1) is f(1). Evaluating the expression for x=1 gives ...

2(1³) -3(1²) +k(1) -1 = 2 -3 +k -1 = k -2

We want this to be equal to 2, so ...

k -2 = 2

k = 4

You have decided to purchase a car for $19,000. The credit union requires a 10% down payment and will finance the balance with a

Lady_Fox [76]

<h2>○=> Correct option :</h2>

$\color{plum} \bold{ \tt \: \bold{C. \$20,652.00}}$

<h3>○=> Steps to derive correct option :</h3>

Selling price of a car = $19,000

Percentage of sales tax in the city = 8.3%

Sales tax :

$= \tt \frac{8.3}{10 \times 100} \times 1900$

$= \tt \frac{8.3 \times 19000}{1000}$

$= \tt \frac{1577000}{1000}$

$\color{plum} = \tt \$1577$

Thus, the sales tax on the car = $1577

Cost of license and title = $75

Total price of car :

= Cost price of car + Sales tax + cost of license/title

$= \tt19000 + 1577 + 75$

$\color{plum} = \tt \$20652$

Thus, the total purchase price of the car = $20,652.00

Therefore, the correct option is (C) $20,652.00

Can any math genius help me with this

vovangra [49]

Here's my working for 1) You need to find the exterior angle, then divide by 360 to find the number of sides:

Applying these steps : 

180 (Interior Angles) - 162 = 18 (Exterior angle)

360 ÷ 18 is 20 sides 

For 2)

Its the same method, so apply the steps:

180 - 175 = 5

360 ÷ 5 = 72 sides 

Hope it helps! :)

How many pounds of mixed nuts that contain 70% peanuts must Shannon add to 15 pounds of mixed peanuts that contain 20% peanuts t

Degger [83]

Answer:

10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds be the amount of mixed nuts we require.

Amount of peanuts in this mix = 0.70x pounds. Amount of peanuts in the 20% mix = 0.20*15 = 3 pounds.

So we have the equation:-

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70x + 3 = 0.40x + 6

0.70x - 0.40x = 6 - 3

0.30x = 3

x = 10.
