Okay, so since the discount is 60% of the price and it comes out to $2.8, we are going to form the following expression, where x is the original price.

60% of x = 2.8

Simply means: 60/100 * x = 2.8

You solve for x, which comes out to $4, which is your original price.

A bullet is fired straight up from a gun with initial velocity 1120 feet per second at an initial height of 8 feet. Use the form
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

70 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

The initial velocity v_o of the bullet fired = 1120 ft/s

Initial height h = 8 feet

The expression to determine how many seconds it takes the bullet to hit the ground is:

h = -16t^2 +v_ot + 8

Thus;

Replacing the value of v_o =  1120 and h = 0 (i.e. when h =0) in the above expression; we have:

0= -16t^2 +(1120)t + 8

=  -16t^2 +(1120)t + (8-0)

= -16t² + 1120t + 8

mulitiply through by (-)

= 16t² -1120t - 8

Divide through by 8

= 2t² -  140t - 1

The above expression forms a quadratic equation.

where;

a = 2

b = -140

c = - 1

So, by using the quadratic formula \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, we have:

= \dfrac{-(-140) \pm \sqrt{(-140)^2-4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)}

= \dfrac{140 \pm \sqrt{19600-(-8)}}{4}

= \dfrac{140 \pm \sqrt{19608}}{4}

= \dfrac{140 \pm 140}{4}

=\dfrac{140+ 140}{4} \ \ \ OR \ \ \  \dfrac{140-140}{4}

=\dfrac{280}{4} \ \ \ OR \ \ \  0

= 70

Thus, the time (in seconds) it took the bullet to it the ground = 70 seconds

How do you compare exponential functions??
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

You compare it by this

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are graphed as straight lines while exponential functions are curved. Linear functions are typically in the form y = mx + b, which is used to discover the slope, or simply the change in y divided by the change in x, while exponential functions are typically in the form y = (1 + r) x.

PLS ANSWER I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIST AND A THANK YOU!!
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+45+x=180

Combine 2x and x to get 3x.

3x+45=180

Subtract 45 from both sides.

3x=180−45

Subtract 45 from 180 to get 135.

3x=135

Divide both sides by 3.

x=135/3

Divide 135 by 3

x=45

mel-nik [20]

Given:

The given expression is

\dfrac{e\times e\times e\times f}{e\times e\times f\times f}

To find:

The simplified form of given expression.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{e\times e\times e\times f}{e\times e\times f\times f}

The common factors in numerator and denominator are e, e, f.

Cancel out the common factors.

=\dfrac{e}{f}

Therefore, the required expression is \dfrac{e}{f}.
