Answer:

$18.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Kate had a sum of money,she spent 1/8 of the money on a skirt and the remaining amount on a handbag

let the total money be x

so  mathematically

x-1/8*x= 16

solve for x

x-x/8= 16

8x-x/8= 16

7x/8=16

cross multiply

7x= 8*16

7x=128

divide both sides by 7

x=128/7

x=$18.28

5. The shape of a dome can be modeled by the equation h = - 2 d 2 + 100 where h is the height (in feet) of the dome from the flo
klasskru [66]

Answer:

5. When the dome is 50 feet high, the distance from the center is 5 feet

6. The equation that model the price y of an x-mile long ride is given as follows;

y = 0.1×x + $3.00

7. The discriminant is < 0; The equation has no real root

8. f(3) = 68

9. The equation representing the translation of the line f(x) = 7·x + 3 down 4 units is f(x) = 7·x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5. The given equation for the shape of the dome is presented as follows;

h = -2·d² + 100

Where;

h = The height of the dome (in feet)

d = The distance from the center

Therefore, we have;

When h = 50, d is found as follows;

h = -2·d² + 100

50 = -2·d² + 100

50 - 100 = -2·d²

-50 = -2·d²

∴ 2·d² = 50

d² = 50/2 = 25

d = √25 = 5 feet

Therefore when the dome is 50 feet high, the distance from the center is 5 feet

6. The given rate the cab charges per mile, x = $0.10

The rate the cab charges as flat fee = $3.00

Therefore, the price, y a person traveling by cab for x miles is given by the straight lie equation as y = m·x + c,

Where;

m = the slope or rate which in this case = $0.1/hour

c = A constant term which in this case = $3.00

Therefore

y = 0.1×x + $3.00

The equation that model the price y of an x-mile long ride is y = 0.1×x + $3.00

7. The discriminant, b² - 4·a·c  of the quadratic equation is (-4)² - 4×3×6 = -56

which is < 0, the equation has no real root

8. Given f(x) = 7·x² + 5

f(3) = 7 × (3)² + 5 = 68

f(3) = 68

9. The equation representing the translation of the line f(x) = 7·x + 3 down 4 units is given as follows;

Down 4 units is equivalent to subtracting 4 from the y-coordinate value, therefore, we have;

f(x) - 4= 7·x + 3

f(x) = 7·x + 3 + 4

f(x) = 7·x + 7

The equation representing the translation of the line f(x) = 7·x + 3 down 4 units is f(x) = 7·x + 7

Evaluate 5 remainder 5
ExtremeBDS [4]

The remainder is 5. To calculate this, first, divide 599 by 9 to get the largest multiple of 9 before 599. 5/9 < 1, so carry the 5 to the tens, 59/9 = 6 r 5, so carry the 5 to the digits. 59/9 = 6 r 5 again, so the largest multiple is 66. Multiply 66 by 9 to get 594, and subtract this from 599 to get 5, the remainder.
