Answer:

32 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 flat fee for a package, plus a fee based on the weight of the package. The company charges $0.75 per pound, plus an additional $0.50 for every pound over 12 pounds.

The first step would be to derived an equation

$3 + $0.75

3 + 0.75x

Where x = number of pounds

George plans on sending a package that is over 12 pounds. He has $27 to spend on shipping.

Hence,

3 + 0.75x = 27

0.75x + 3 = 27

0.75x = 27 - 3

0.75x = 24

x = 24/0.75

x = 32 pounds

The maximum number of pounds that this package could be is 32 pounds

Short Response To earn a varsity letter on the baseball team, you must play in 60% of the games. Derek played in 11 out of 18 ba
Alla [95]

Answer:

Yes, he earned a Varsity letter because he played in 61% of the games.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the percent of games he played out of the total, we can do it by dividing the games he played by the total of games and multiply this by 100% to get the percent of games he played:

\frac{11}{18}*100%

We solve:

0.611111*100% = 61.11%

So we know that he earned a letter because he played in 61.11% of the games, more than he needed.

Given A(3, 4), B(4, 3) and C(2, 1), what are the coordinates of C', the image of C under a rotation of 90 degrees about the orig
Aleks [24]

<u>Given</u>:

The coordinates of the points A, B and C are (3,4), (4,3) and (2,1)

The points are rotated 90° about the origin.

We need to determine the coordinates of the point C'.

<u>Coordinates of the point C':</u>

The general rule to rotate the point 90° about the origin is given by

(x, y) \Rightarrow(-y, x)

Substituting the coordinates of the point C in the above formula, we get;

(2, 1) \Rightarrow(-1, 2)

Therefore, the coordinates of the point C' is (-1,2)

) Evaluating a polynomial limit analytically You should have learned by now the process for finding the derivative of a polynomi
wolverine [178]

Answer:

This code or is program to find a given value of derivative of  a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know already how to apply or make the procedures mathematically talking so this short program will eventually help you how to find logic.

// libraries

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

//use to control floating elements

float poly(float a[], int, float);

//main

int main()

{

// Enter the degree of polynomial equation

float x, a[10], y1;

int deg, i;

printf("Enter the degree of polynomial equation: ");

scanf("%d", &deg);

printf("Ehter the value of x for which the equation is to be evaluated: ");

// Enter the coefficient of x to the power

scanf("%f", &x);

for(i=0; i<=deg; i++)

{

 printf("Enter the coefficient of x to the power %d: ",i);

 scanf("%f",&a[i]);

}

// The value of polynomial equation for the value of x

y1 = poly(a, deg, x);

 

printf("The value of polynomial equation for the value of x = %.2f is: %.2f",x,y1);

 

return 0;

}

/* function for finding the value of polynomial at some value of x */

float poly(float a[], int deg, float x)

{

float p;

int i;

 

p = a[deg];

 

for(i=deg;i>=1;i--)

{

 p = (a[i-1] + x*p);

}

 

return p;

}
