Answer:

$2229.27

Step-by-step explanation:

tax rate: 10.25%

tax amount: $228.50

price before tax: x

10.25% of x = $228.50

0.1025x = 228.5

x = 228.5/0.1025

x = 2229.27

Answer: $2229.27

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

What is the equation of the line (-2,-3) (4,5)

sleet_krkn [62]

Slope = m = y2-y1/x2-x1
= 5-(-3)/4-(-2)
m=8/6
m=4/3
so eq of line we select any of one point . i select (4,5)
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y- 5 = 4/3 (x-4)
3y -15 = 4x-16
4x-3y = 1
