A music player was marked down by 1/4 of the original price. If the sales price is $128, what is the original price? If the musi

c player was marked up by ½ before it was placed on the sales floor, what was the price that the store paid for the player? What is the difference between the discount price and the price that the store paid for the music player?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be represented by x.

1. \frac{1}{4} of x = x - 128

\frac{x}{4} = x - 128

x - \frac{x}{4} = 128

4x - x = 4 x 128

3x = 512

x = \frac{512}{3}

  = 170.67

x = 170.67

The original price is $170.67.

2. If the price of the music player was marked up by ½ of its original price, its new price would be;

170.67 + (170.67 x ½)   = 170.67 +85.335

                                     = 256.005

                                     ≅ $ 256.0

The price paid by the store for the music player is still the original price i.e $170.67.

3. The difference between the discounted price and the price paid by the store can be determined by;

price paid by the store - the discounted price of the music player

= $170.67 - $128

= $42.67

Consider the functions f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x. Solve for f(g(4))
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x.

We want to find f(g(4))

Essentially, what we are doing, is plugging in 4 into x for g(x) and the outcome of that is what we plug into x for f(x)

So first lets plug in 4 into x for g(x)

g(x) = 6 + 8/x.

We want to find g(4)

g(4) = 6 + 8/4

First divide 8 by 4

g(4) = 6 + 2

Then add 6 and 2

g(4) = 8

Now that we have found g(4) we want to plug the value of g(4), so 8 into f(x)

f(x) = 2x - 3

we want to find f(8)

f(8) = 2(8) - 3

* multiply 2 and 8 *

f(8) = 16 - 3

* subtract 3 from 16 *

f(8) = 13

and we are done!

So we can conclude that f(g(4)) = 13

Airida [17]

Answer: 19.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem,

x^2 +(x+6)^2 =48^2\\\\x^2 +x^2 +12x+36=2304\\\\2x^2 +12x-2268=0\\\\x^2 +6x-1134=0\\\\x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 -4(1)(-1134)}}{2(1)}\\\\x \approx 30.8 \text{ } (x > 0)\\\\\implies x+(x+6) \approx 67.6\\\\\therefore (x+(x+6))-48 \approx 19.6

1. Kalena was asked to prove ifx(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X represents a polynomial identity. She
Verdich [7]

Answer:

C. Kalena made a mistake in Step 3. The justification should state: -x²

+ x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function x(x - 1)(x + 1) = x3 - X

To justify kelena proof

We will need to show if the two equations are equal.

Starting from the RHS with function x³-x

First we will factor out the common factor which is 'x' to have;

x(x²-1)

Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;

x(x+1)(x-1)

Note that for two real number a and b, the expansion of a²-b² using difference vof two square will give;

a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b) hence;

Factorising x²-1 using the difference of two square will give;

x(x+1)(x-1)

Factorising x(x+1) gives x²+x, therefore

x(x+1)(x-1) = (x²+x)(x-1)

(x²+x)(x-1) = x³-x²+x²-x

The function x³-x²+x²-x gotten shows that kelena made a mistake in step 3, the justification should be -x²+x² not -x-x²
