Answer: $450

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed = $450

Amount charged per lawn = $35

Operating cost per lawn = $8

Jimmy's cost (C(x)) :

Amount borrowed + operating cost

If x lawns are mowed :

$450 + $8 per lawn

$450 + $8x

C(x) = 450 + 8x

Intercept (value of y when x = 0

Value of C(x) ; when x = 0

C(x) = 450 + 8(0)

C(x) = 450 + 0

C(x) = 450

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 3 feet more than the other leg. If the hypotenuse is 15 feet find the length of eac

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Leg1 = 9 and leg2 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

To find the length of each leg

It is given that, hypotenuse = 15 feet

Let base = x the height = x +3

By using Pythagorean theorem we can write,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

15² = x² + (x + 3)²

225 = x² + x² + 6x + 9

2x² + 6x + 216 = 0

x² + 3x + 108 = 0

By solving we get x = 9 and x -12

Therefore one leg = 9 and other leg = 9 + 3 = 12

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is given by

$A(n) = - 6 + (n - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )$

where n is the number of terms

For the first term

n = 1

So we have

$A(1) = - 6 + (1 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )$

$= - 6 + (0)( \frac{1}{5} )$

$= - 6$

For the fourth term

n = 4

$A(4) = - 6 + (4 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )$

$= - 6 + (3)( \frac{1}{5} )$

$= - 5 \frac{2}{5}$

For the tenth term

n = 10

$A(10) = - 6 + (10 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )$

$= - 6 + (9)( \frac{1}{5} )$

$= - 4 \frac{1}{5}$

Hope this helps you

kherson [118]

You are permitted to give up to $13,000 each year to any individual without acquiring gift tax liability. So, Barry and Mary each can gift $13,000 to anyone of their choosing. For eight recipients (3 children and 5 grandchildren), each can gift $104,000. Consequently, Barry and Mary can offer $208,000 ($104,000 x 2) to their children and grandchildren in 2013.
