40$ - 100% (full price)
x$ - 70% (100-30=70%)
40 * 70 = 100x
2800 = 100x
x = 28
Answer 28$
or
40$ = 100%
then 1% = 40/100 = 0.4$
so 70% will be 0.4 * 70 = 28$
No, he is not correct. The lines are the same, so there are an infinite number of solutions.
When two lines are parallel, then the solution is empty set.
To answer this, we need to start with the standard equation for an ellipse:
(x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2)=1
Where a is one half of one axis, and b is one half of the other.
The problem states that one axis is 1057 ft, and the other is 880 ft, so divide these values by 2 and square them. This results in:
(x^2/279,312.25)+(y^2/193,600)=1
For verification, if you have a graphing calculator, solve for y, set the size of the window so it should perfectly fit the ellipse, and check (it does)
Answer:
Choice C)
x^2 - 2x + 4 - 12/(x+2)
====================================================
Explanation:
To see how I got that answer, I have provided two attached images below. One of them shows the polynomial long division. The other shows synthetic division. Both are valid options to get to the same answer.
For each method, I used 1x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x - 4 in place of x^3 - 4 so that the proper terms could align.
