If the sales tax on 150 is 7.50, what is the percent of sales tax?

1 answer:

7 0

Let “T” represent the tax rate...
$150 x T = $7.50
Divide both sides by 150 to solve for T...
T = 7.5/150 = .05
So the tax is 5% (.05)

A rectangle that has an area of 357 square inches is 17 inches wide. Using the formula for area (A=lw), how long is the rectangl

Lynna [10]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Formula
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area of rectangle = Length x Width

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
357 = Length x 17

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 17 through
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Length = 357 ÷ 7
Length = 51 inches

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length of the rectangle is 51 inches

Evaluate the line integral, where c is the given curve. (x + 9y) dx + x2 dy, c c consists of line segments from (0, 0) to (9, 1)

viktelen [127]

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+9y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=\int_C\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\underbrace{\langle\mathrm dx,\mathrm dy\rangle}_{\mathrm d\mathbf r}$

The first line segment can be parameterized by $\mathbf r_1(t)=\langle0,0\rangle(1-t)+\langle9,1\rangle t=\langle9t,t\rangle$ with $0\le t\le1$ . Denote this first segment by $C_1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{C_1}\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\mathbf dr_1=\int_{t=0}^{t=1}\langle9t+9t,81t^2\rangle\cdot\langle9,1\rangle\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(162t+81t^2)\,\mathrm dt$
$=108$

The second line segment ( $C_2$ ) can be described by $\mathbf r_2(t)=\langle9,1\rangle(1-t)+\langle10,0\rangle t=\langle9+t,1-t\rangle$ , again with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{C_2}\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r_2=\int_{t=0}^{t=1}\langle9+t+9-9t,(9+t)^2\rangle\cdot\langle1,-1\rangle\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(18-8t-(9+t)^2)\,\mathrm dt$
$=-\dfrac{229}3$

Finally,

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+9y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=108-\dfrac{229}3=\dfrac{95}3$

Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of JL is equal to the slope of MP

Ilya [14]

Answer:

See below and attached

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the graph we have:

Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)

Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)

Slope formula is:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Slope of JL:

(0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3

Slope of MP:

(-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3
