Answer:

m<PQR = 82°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Rhombus, the diagonals bisect its angles. This means that they divide each the four angles into two equal parts.

Therefore:

(4x - 27)° = (2x + 7)°

Solve for x

4x - 27 = 2x + 7

Collect like terms

4x - 2x = 27 + 7

2x = 34

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 34/2

x = 17

✔️m<PQR = (4x - 27) + (2x + 7)

Plug in the value of x

m<PQR = (4*17 - 27) + (2*17 + 7)

m<PQR = 41 + 41

m<PQR = 82°

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the selling price of each widget

y ---> the amount of profit

we have

$y=-3x^{2} +155x-1148$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum amount of profit the company can make

using a graphing tool

Find out the vertex of the quadratic equation

The vertex is the point (25.83,854.08)

see the attached figure

The y-coordinate of the vertex is 854.08

therefore

The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08

A radioactive substance decreases in the amount of grams by one-third each year. If the starting amount of the

Answer:

The sequence is geometric. The recursive formula is $a_{n}=2/3a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you have to calculate the amount of the substance left after the end of each year to obtain a sequence and then you have to determine if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

The substance decreases by one-third each year, therefore:

After 1 year:

$1452-\frac{1}{3}(1452)$

Using 1452 as a common factor and solving the fraction:

$1452(1-\frac{1}{3})=1452(\frac{2}{3})=968$

You can notice that in general, after each year the amount of grams is the initial amount of the year multiplied by 2/3

After 2 years:

$968(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{1936}{3}$

After 3 years:

$\frac{1936}{3}(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3872}{9}$

The sequence is:

1452,968,1936/3,3872/9....

In order to determine if the sequence is geometric, you have to calculate the ratio of two consecutive terms and see if the ratio is the same for all two consecutive terms. The ratio is obtained by dividing a term by the previous term.

The sequence is arithmetic if the difference of two consecutive terms is the same for all two consecutive terms.

-Calculating the ratio:

For the first and second terms:

968/1452=2/3

For the second and third terms:

1936/3 ÷ 968 = 2/3

In conclussion, the sequence is geometric because the ratio is common.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_{n}=ra_{n-1}$
