Answer:

d=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Because multiplication is commutative, we can rearrange the expression however we want. So, let's put the constant expressions together, and the variable expressions together:

(3 x 4) x (d^-4 x d^4)

The first term is easy enough: (3 x 4) = 12

For the second term, when exponent terms have the same "base" (in this case, d), the exponents can be added together. So, the second term yields d^(-4 + 4) = d^0. Any number raised to the zero power equals 1, EXCEPT for the sole number of zero. 0^0 is undefined, but any other number raised to the zero power equals 1.

So, if d equals any number other than zero, the expression becomes

(12) x (1) = 12

The best way to express the answer would be that the expression equals 12 except that it is undefined if d=0

Ellen saved $2000 and she spent 10% of it to buy a bike. Kim saved 8% more than that of Ellen's left savings. If Lisa saved 60%

enyata [817]

Answer: Lis saved $1166.4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Ellen saved $2000 and she spent 10% of it to buy a bike.

Then, Ellen's left saving = saved amount - 10% of (saved amount)

= $2000 - 0.10 x $2000 [We convert perecntage to decimal by diving it by 100]

= $2000 - $200

= $1800

So, Ellen's left saving= $1800

Also, Kim saved 8% more than that of Ellen's left savings.

Kim's Saving = Ellen's left saving + 8% of (Ellen's left saving)

= $1800 + (0.08) x ($1800) [We convert perecntage to decimal by diving it by 100]

= $1800 + $144

i.e. Kim's Saving= $1944

If Lisa saved 60% as much as Kim, then Lisa's saving = 60% of (Kim's Saving)

= (0.60) x ($1944) [We convert perecntage to decimal by diving it by 100]

i.e. Lisa's saving = $1166.4

Country days scholarship rounds receive a gift of $135000. The money is invested in stock, bonds, and CDs. CDs pay 2.75% interes

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

CDs — $10,000
bonds — $80,000
stocks — $45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables c, b, s represent the dollar amounts invested in CDs, stocks, and bonds, respectively. Then the problem statement gives us 3 relations between these 3 variables:

c + b + s = 135000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . total invested

0.0275c +.045b +0.104s = 8555 . . . . . total income earned

-c + b = 70000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70,000 more was in bonds than CDs

Using the third equation to write an expression for b, we can substitute into the other two equations.

b = 70000 +c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . expression we can substitute for b

c + (70000 +c) +s = 135000 . . . . substitute for b in the first equation

2c +s = 65000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [eq4] simplify

.0275c +.045(70000 +c) +.104s = 8555 . . . . . substitute for b in 2nd eqn

.0725c +.104s = 5405 . . . . . . . . . . [eq5] simplify

Using [eq4], we can write an expression for s that can be substituted into [eq5].

s = 65000 -2c . . . . . . . expression we can substitute for s

0.0725c +0.104(65000 -2c) = 5405

-0.1355c = -1355 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6760, simplify

c = 1355/.1355 = 10,000

s = 65000 -2×10000 = 45,000

b = 70000 +10000 = 80,000

The amounts invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs were $45,000, $80,000, and $10,000, respectively.

Alternatively, you can reduce the augmented matrix for this problem to row-echelon form using any of several calculators or on-line sites. That matrix is ...

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&135000\\0.0275&0.045&0.104&8555\\-1&1&0&70000\end{array}\right]$

Write expression as a sine or cosine of an angle. cos 94° cos 18° + sin 94° sin 18°

MArishka [77]

<h3>Answer: cos(76)</h3>

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

Explanation:

The original expression is of the pattern cos cos + sin sin. This pattern matches the second identity in the hint. Specifically, we'll say the following:

cos(A - B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B)

cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B) = cos(A - B)

cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(94 - 18)

cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(76)

----------

We can verify this by use of a calculator. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = 0.24192
cos(76) = 0.24192

Both expressions give the same decimal approximation, so this helps confirm the two expressions are equal. You could also use the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0. Through this method, you'll subtract the left and right hand sides and you should get (very close to) zero.
