Answer:

After 59 months the new dryer will pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the new clothes dryer takes 'x' months to pay for itself.

Then the operating cost of the new dryer will be = 15x

Since cost of the new dryer = $590

So, total cost of the dryer in x months = $(590 + 15x)

Now we know old dryer's operating cost is = $25 per month

So, operating cost for x months = 25x

By the time when new dryer's total cost becomes equal to the old dryer's operational cost, the new dryer will pay for itself.

Now we can get the value of x by equating the old dryer's operational cost and the new dryer's total cost.

25x = 590 + 15x

25x - 15x = 590

10x = 590

x = \frac{590}{10}

x = '59 months'

It's gonna be 5 - (2 + 4 -2)
according to order of operations, we have to solve inside the parentheses/brackets first (from left to right)

therefore, it will be
5 - (6 - 2)
=5 - (4)

Next, distribute the negative to the four and add normally.

= 5 - 4
= 1

Each angle of a regular pentagon has a measure of
Andrew [12]

Answer:

congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent). To find the measure of the interior angles, we know that the sum of all the angles is 540 degrees (from above)... And there are five angles... So, the measure of the interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees.

I really need help I would appreciate it if someone could help me

Answer:

a) The vertex of the graph is (h,k) = (0, 31), b) a = -16, c) The equation of the parabola is f(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+31.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The tennis ball experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from Earth's rotation and air viscocity are negligible. The height of the ball in time is represented by a second order polynomial. Hence, the vertex of the parabola is the initial point highlighted in graph.

The vertex of the graph is (h,k) = (0, 31).

b) If we know that (h,k) = (0, 31), f(t) = a\cdot (t-h)^{2} + k and (t,f(t)) = (1,15), then the value of a is:

f(t) = a\cdot (t-h)^{2} + k

15 = a\cdot (1-0)^{2}+31

15 = a\cdot 1 + 31

a = 15-31

a = -16

c) The equation of the parabola is f(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+31.

Answer:

$3,000 was invested in the account that gained 13%

$17,500 was invested in the account that lost 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount in both accounts be x and y

x for the first and y for the second

Adding both is 20,500

x + y = 20,500 •••••(i)

First account earned 13% profit

= 13/100 * x = 0.13x

Second account, a loss of 10%

= -10/100 * y = -0.1y

Total loss of -1,360

This is;

-0.1y + 0.13x = -1,360 •••••••(ii)

From i, x = 20,500-y

Insert this into ii

-0.1y + 0.13(20,500-y) = -1,360

-0.1y + 2665 -0.13y = -1360

-0.23y = -1360-2665

-0.23y = -4025

y = -4025/-0.23

y = 17,500

To get x, we have

x = 20,500 -y

x = 20,500- 17,500

x = 3,000
