45 pairs take 65-25 to find the profit of each pair which is $40 then divide $1800/$40 and you get 45

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40. They are on sale for 20% off. If the tax rate is 8%, what is the sale

Anna35 [415]

Answer

Find out the what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .

To prove

Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .

As given

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.

They are on sale for 20% off.

If the tax rate is 8% .

20% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{20}{100}$

= 0.20

8% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{8}{100}$

= 0.08

Than the equation becomes

x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08

x = 40 - 8 + 3.2

x = 43.2 - 8

x = $35.2

Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .

Let g(x)= -3x and h(x) x^2+3 Find (g°h)(0)

raketka [301]

<h3>Answer is -9</h3>

=================================

Work Shown:

(g°h)(x) is the same as g(h(x))

So, (g°h)(0) = g(h(0))

Effectively h(x) is the input to g(x). Let's first find h(0)

h(x) = x^2+3

h(0) = 0^2+3

h(0) = 3

So g(h(x)) becomes g(h(0)) after we replace x with 0, then it updates to g(3) when we replace h(0) with 3.

Now let's find g(3)

g(x) = -3x

g(3) = -3*3

g(3) = -9

-------

alternatively, you can plug h(x) algebraically into the g(x) function

g(x) = -3x

g( h(x) ) = -3*( h(x) ) ... replace all x terms with h(x)

g( h(x) ) = -3*(x^2 + 3) ... replace h(x) on right side with x^2+3

g( h(x) ) = -3x^2 - 9

Next we can plug in x = 0

g( h(0) ) = -3(0)^2 - 9

g( h(0) ) = -9

we get the same result.

The line passes through (9,8) and is perpendicular to x-2y=-16

pickupchik [31]

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x-2y=-16\\Adding\ 2y\ on\ both\ sides\\x=2y-16\\Adding\ 16\ on\ both\ sides\\x+16=2y-16+16\\x+16=2y\\2y=x+16\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+16}{2}\\y=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{16}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+8\\$

The equation is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x will be the slope of given line. The slope is: 1/2

As the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

$\frac{1}{2}*m=-1\\m=-1*\frac{2}{1}\\m=-2$

Slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Putting the value of slope

y=-2x+b

To find the value of b, putting (9,8) in the equation

$8=-2(9)+b\\8=-18+b\\b=8+18\\b=26$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-2x+26$

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Help with this pleaseeee

ELEN [110]

Answer:

(- 3, 37) and (- $\frac{5}{2}$ , $\frac{63}{2}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x² - y + 19 = 0 → (1)

y + 11x = 4 → (2) ← subtract 11x from both sides

y = 4 - 11x → (3)

Substitute y = 4 - 11x into (1)

2x² - (4 - 11x) + 19 = 0

2x² - 4 + 11x + 19 = 0

2x² + 11x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 5 ⇒ x = - $\frac{5}{2}$

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y

x = - $\frac{5}{2}$ : y = 4 + $\frac{55}{2}$ = $\frac{63}{2}$ ⇒ (- $\frac{5}{2}$ , $\frac{63}{2}$ )

x = - 3 : y = 4 + 33 = 37 ⇒ (- 3, 37 )
