Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the shorts.

The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is

20/100 × x = 0.2x

The price of the shorts would be

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is

5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x

The final cost of the shorts would be

0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x

Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that

0.84x = 21

x = 21/0.84

x = 25

6. Sketch the region enclosed by the graphs of x =0, 6y-5x=0 and x+3y=21. Find the area
kow [346]
We can see that revolving the region formed by intersecting 3 lines, we will get 2 cones that are connected their bases.
Volume of the cone V=1/3 *πr²*h

1) small cone has r=5, and h=5
Volume small cone V1= 1/3 *π*5²*5 = 5³/3 *π
2) large cone has r=5, and h=21-6=15, h=15
Volume large cone V2= 1/3 *π*5²*15 = 5³*π
3) whole volume
5³/3 *π + 5³*π=5³π(1/3+1)=((5³*4)/3)π=(500/3)π≈166.7π≈523.6

Area
we see 2 right triangles,
Area of the triangle=1/2*b*h, where b -base, h -height
1) small one, b=5, h=5
A1=(1/2)*5*5=25/2
2)large one, b=5, h=15
A2=(1/2)*5*15=75/2
3) whole area=A1+A2=25/2+75/2=100/2=50

koban [17]

Answer is choice C) 4x^2-3x+9

You list off the terms in a way where the largest exponent term comes first, then the second largest exponent is next, and so forth. Note how the last term 9 is the same as 9x^0. The term 3x is equivalent to 3x^1. So what we really have is 4x^2-3x^1+9x^0. The exponents count down: 2, 1, 0
