when you solve a problem by working backward, what does your answer represent? how can you check your answer?

1 answer:

8 0

Lets say you have an addition problem

3 + 7 = ?

To figure that you can just add in your head since its easy.

3 + 7 = 10

You can work backwords to check to see if your awnser is right.

When you work backwards you do the opposite of what you are doing, so if your adding the opposite would be subtracting, and if your multiplying than the opposite would be dividing.

So you could work it out like this:

(Regular⬇️)
3 + 7 = 10
(Backwards⬇️)
10 - 7 = 3

And if you get the same numbers that were in the original awnser than you are correct! Hope this helps!!!!

How many roots does a quadratic have if the discriminant if prime?

scZoUnD [109]

"The discriminant is prime?" I haven't heard that one before.

Here are the general rules:

1. a positive discriminant results in two real, unequal roots.

2. a zero discr. results in two real, equal roots.

3. a negative discr. results in two complex roots, which sometimes means two imaginary roots.

Question 1.
Step 1. Add the total cost of purchasing the luxury items:
$TotalCost=35.95+34.65+15.30+6.99+42.96=135.85$
You will spend $135.85 purchasing the luxury items.

Step 2. Add the total cost of purchasing the name brand items:
$TotalCost=19.95+15.98+9.40+4.99+29.75=80.07$
You will spend $80.07 purchasing the name brand items.

Step 3. Subtract the total cost of purchasing the name brand items from the total cost of purchasing the luxury items:
$135.85-80.07=55.78$

Answer to the original question:
We can conclude that you will spend $55.78 more by purchasing the luxury items.

Question 2:

Part 1. To find the how many months will take to pay the card debt, we are going to use the credit card equation: $N=- \frac{1}{30}* \frac{ln(1+ \frac{b}{p}*(1+ \frac{r}{365})^{30})) }{ln(1+ \frac{r}{365}) }$
where
$N$ is the months to pay the card
$b$ is the balance
$p$ is the monthly payment
$r$ is the interest rate in decimal form

We know from our problem that the balance of the credit card is $1,367.90 and the monthly payment is $400.00, so $b=1367.90$ and $p=400$ . To find convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%
$r= \frac{9.5}{100}=0.095$ .
Now that we have all we need, lets replace the values in our credit card equation:
$N=- \frac{1}{30}* \frac{ln(1+ \frac{b}{p}*(1+ \frac{r}{365})^{30})) }{ln(1+ \frac{r}{365}) }$
$N=- \frac{1}{30}* \frac{ln(1+ \frac{1367.90}{400}*(1+ \frac{0.095}{365})^{30})) }{ln(1+ \frac{0.095}{365}) }$
$N=3.4799$

It will take you 3.5 months according to our calculation, but since you pay $400 each month on the due date, we can conclude that it will take you 4 months to pay off the card.

Part 2. To calculate the total amount paid including the interest, we just need to multiply the monthly payment by the number of payments.
We know from our problem that the monthly payment is $400. We also know from our previous calculations that the number of payments is 4, so lets multiply both quantities:
$400*4=1600$

We can conclude that the total amount paid including interest is $1,600

PLEASE HELP!

Increasing. For every week that goes by, Olivia's puppy is gaining one pound. 6-5= 1 14-13= 1. Gaining a pound every week makes the puppies weight increase. Since increase is the term for something is bigger than number or value than before, Olivia's puppies' weight is increasing.

I hope this helps!

a 12-ft ladder leans against a building so that the angle between the ground and the ladder is 74°. how high does the ladder rea

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Sometimes, a simple drawing is a great way to start! In the attached drawing, the red line represents the ladder, the brown represents the ground, and the black represents the building!

We want to find the side of the triangle from where the ladder meets the building to where the building meets the ground. This can be found using trigonometric identities, namely sine:

$sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$
