Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 770 from 847 u get 1.1 , that 1 whole is the 770 and the .1 is the tax. .1 from 770 is 77 so 770+77=847

The Law and Order detectives enter a house at 11:30 am and found a man on the floor murdered. They take his body temperature fin

taurus [48]

Answer:

Time of murder = 10:39 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of exponential function representing the final temperature of the body after time 't' is,

f(t) = $a(e)^{nt}$

Here, a = Initial temperature

n = Constant for the change in temperature

t = Duration

At 11:30 am temperature of the body was 91.8°F.

91.8 = $98.6(e)^{nt}$ --------(1)

Time to reach the body to the morgue = 12:30 pm

Duration to reach = 12:30 p.m. - 11:30 a.m.

= 1 hour

Therefore, equation will be,

84.4 = $91.8(e)^{n\times 1}$

eⁿ = $\frac{84.4}{91.8}$

ln(eⁿ) = ln(0.9194)

n = -0.08403

From equation (1),

91.8 = $98.6(e)^{-0.08403t}$

$(e)^{0.08403t}=\frac{98.6}{91.8}$

$ln[(e)^{0.08403t}]=ln[\frac{98.6}{91.8}]$

0.08403t = 0.07146

t = 0.85 hours

t ≈ 51 minutes

Therefore, murder was done 51 minutes before the detectives arrival.

Time of murder = 11:30 - 00:51

= 10:90 - 00:51

= 10:39 am

A mistake was made in mixing the lemonade—<br> PLEASE HELP!!

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Part A:

$4 + x = y$

$0.5*4 + 1*x = 0.7*y$

$x = 8/3\ quarts\ of\ 100\%\ solution$

$y = 20/3\ quarts\ of\ 70\%\ solution$

Part B:

$x + y = 10$

$2x + 3y = 23$

$x = 7$ and $y = 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The inicial concentration of the lemonade is 50%, and the volume is 4 quarts, and we will add x quarts of a lemonade with a concentration of 100%, so the total volume will be y, and the concentration will be 0.7, so we have that:

$4 + x = y$

$0.5*4 + 1*x = 0.7*y$

Using the value of y from the first equation in the second one, we have:

$2 + x = 0.7*(4 + x)$

$2 + x = 2.8 + 0.7x$

$0.3x = 0.8$

$x = 8/3\ quarts$

$y = 4 + 8/3 = 20/3\ quarts$

Part B:

If he shoots a total of ten targets, we can write the equation:

$x + y = 10$

Each stationary target is 2 points, and each moving target is 3 points, so if the total points is 23, we have:

$2x + 3y = 23$

If we subtract the second equation by two times the first one, we have:

$2x + 3y - 2*(x + y) = 23 - 2*10$

$2x + 3y - 2x - 2y = 23 - 20$

$y = 3$

$x + 3 = 10$ ⇒ $x = 7$

1-Describe the error in the way the calculation of the slope of the two points is set up and/or solved. Please be specific. Do n

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Please check explanations for answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s have two points (5,10) and (15,20)

1. Let’s find the slope of these two points

Mathematically, the slope can be calculated using the formula;

m = (y2-y1)/(x1-x2)

So m = (20-10)/(5-15) = 10/-10 = -1

The error here is the formula used in calculating the slope

The formula should be;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and not x1-x2

2. To calculate the slope correctly, we have;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

So the slope will be;

m = (20-10)/(15-5) = 10/10 = 1

In the point slope form, the equation can be represented as;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Let’s use the point (5,10)

y- 10 = 1(x-5)

The above is the point slope form

using one of the points and the correct slope of the line
