In the student's equation, there are many problems. Nickels are worth 5 cents, represented by .05, not 50 dollars. Also, the coeffient 5 should not be placed there, it belongs with 5(.1), as we already know how many dimes there are. If we were able to make a new one, it would be, 5(.1)+.05n=1.20.

The force F of attraction between two bodies varies jointly as the weights of the two bodies and inversely as the square of the
crimeas [40]
We have that F is proportional to m1. Hence, we have that F=m1*c when we change the first mass. We also have that F=m2*c when we only change the 2nd mass. Since F scales inversely with the square of the distance, we have that F= \frac{c}{d^2}. Combining all of the facts above, we get that F=c*\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2} where c is a constant.

Johnny bought an oil painting originally priced at $80 but on sale for for 50% off. After 10% sales tax, what was the total cost
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

$44

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = $80

Discount on sale = 50%

Discounted price = (1 - 50%) * original price

Discounted price = 0.5 * $80 = $40

Sales tax = 10%

Sales tax amount = 0.1 * $40 = $4

Total cost = discounted price + sales tax amount

Total cost = $40 + $4 = $44

The vertex of this parabola is at (-3, 6). Which of the following could be its equation?
12345 [234]
Nice, already in vertex form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) is vertex

therfor since (-3,6) is vertex
we are looking for something like
y=a(x-(-3))^2+6 simplified to
y=a(x+3)^2+6
