Answer: 48$ was the original price of the sweater.

Step-by-step explanation:To find this answer, I divided the coupon discount by the discounted price (14.4) and got 48.00, to double check, I then multiplied the number by the discount number and got 14.4

A waterfall has a height of 1900 feet. A pebble is thrown upward from the top of the falls with an initial velocity of 12 feet p
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h is the height of the pebble after a certain amount of time has gone by. Since we are told to find that time when the pebble is on the ground, we say that h = 0 since the height of something on the ground has no height at all. Then factor the quadratic.

-16t^2+12t+1900=0

Throw that into the quadratic formula or however you were taught to factor irrational quadratics (maybe completing the square?) to get that

t = 11.27869 sec and t = -10.52869 sec

Since we all know that time will never carry a negative value, we will disregard it and go with 11.27869 seconds. Not sure to where you are told to round.

I need to complete the equation of the line through (3 -1) and (4 7). I am really stumped on this topic, please explain the proc
Nana76 [90]

Assuming you want the equation in slope intercept form, you first need to use slope formula to find the slope.

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Plug in the coordinates that you have, (3,-1) and (4,7), for the x and y values respectively.

\frac{-1-7}{3-4}

Which reduces to 8/1=8.

The slope of your equation is 8.

Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b. m is your slope and b is your y-intercept, x and y stay unchanged.

Plug the slope in:

y=8x+b.

Now, you can plug one of the sets of coordinates into the x and y of the equation to find b. I'm using (3,-1).

-1=8(3)+b

-1=24+b

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-25=b

Now plug this into the equation!

y=8x-25 is your final equation.

I hope this helps :)

You buy a house for $230,000. It depreciates 3% per year. How much is it worth in 5 years?
Nookie1986 [14]
I honestly don’t know the equation but I just took the starting price, $230,000 and multipled it by .03 which was 6,900 and subtracted that from 230,000: 223,190. I repeated that 5 times. The answer I got is 197,508.83

A 5-gallon jug of cleaning solution contains 6% bleach. How much pure water should be added to it to dilute to 4% bleach?
mihalych1998 [28]
Let's bear in mind that 5 gallons with a solution of 6% bleach, contains some water plus some bleach, how much bleach?  well, is just 6% of 5 gallons or namely (6/100) * 5 gallons, or 0.30 gallons.

if we use "x" gallons of water, well pure water has no bleach, so is 0% bleach, and it has a (0/100) * x or 0x gallons of bleach.

the mixture will be say "y" gallons, and is 4% bleach, so (4/100) * y is 0.04y gallons in the mixture of bleach.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{gallons}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of bleach}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of bleach}}{amount}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{pure water}&x&0.00&0x\\
\textit{6\% solution}&5&0.06&0.3\\
-----&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.04&0.04y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+5=\boxed{y}\\
0x+0.3=0.04y\\
---------\\
0.3=0.04\left( \boxed{x+5} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.3=0.04x+0.2\implies 0.1=0.04x\implies \cfrac{0.1}{0.04}=x\implies 2.5=x
