How is a 15% discount similar to a 15% decrease? Explain

2 answers:

8 0

It's the same because you're trying to find net price (end price)

You're going to take in both scenarios 100%-15%= 85%

You're always going to be paying only 85% of the price.

What is 3x squared-12x=0

x=0 or x=4

just factorize basically

cancels the x’s so it’d be 3x-12=0 and from that x=4

What is the approximate value of sin B?

Jlenok [28]

The acronym for trigs is SOH CAH TOA
Sine means opposite divided by hypotenuse
So, let us find sine.
The opposie side is 16
The hypotenuse is 17.46
$16/17.46$
Use your calculator
The answer is ≈ 0.9164

A rubber ball is dropped from the top of a hole. Exactly 20 seconds later, the sound of the rubber ball hitting bottom is heard.

gayaneshka [121]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

4192.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your falling-distance formula is supposed to be ...

s = 16t²

So, the time required to fall distance s is ...

t = √(s/16) = (1/4)√s

The time required for sound to travel distance s is ...

s = 1100t

t = s/1100

Then the sum of the time for the ball to fall and the time for the sound to travel back is ...

(1/4)√s + s/1100 = 20

275√s = 22000 -s . . . . . multiply by 1100 and subtract s

75625s = s^2 -44000s +484,000,000 . . . square both sides

s^2 -119,625s +484,000,000 = 0 . . . . put in standard form

s ≈ (1/2)(119,625 ±√12,374,140,625) = {4192.943, 115432.057}

Only the smaller of these two solutions makes any sense in this problem.

The hole is about 4192.9 feet deep.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The distance equation for the falling object presumes a vacuum. The sound transmission presumes the presence of air, so the question setup is self-contradictory.

Find the midpoint of X (26,56) and Y (26,1)

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

(26, $\frac{57}{2}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the coordinates (26, 56) and (26, 1)

We want to find the midpoint of these two points

The midpoint can be found using the formula $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$ , where $(x_1, y_1)$ & $(x_2, y_2)$ are points

We have 2 points, which is what we need to find the midpoint, but let's label the values of the points to avoid confusion and mistakes when actually calculating

$x_1=26\\y_1=56\\x_2=26\\y_2=1$
