Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The length of each piece is 0.833 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of board, L = 5 ft 1 inch

loss per cut = 1/5 inch

The board should be cut by 5 times to get the 6 pieces.

The loss in 5 cuts = 5 x 1/5 = 1 inch

So, the length of each piece is

L' =\frac{5 ft 1 in - 1in }{6}\\\\L' =\frac{5}{6}\\\\L' = 0.833 ft

Use a reference angle to write sec255∘ in terms of the secant of a positive acute angle. Do not include the degree symbol in you
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: sec (75) or csc (15)

Step-by-step explanation:

255 is in the 3rd quadrant where the secant is. Here, the tangent and cotangent is positive.

Reference angle for 255 is,

255 - 180 = 75 degrees.

Therefore, sec (255) = sec (75)

= csc (90 - 75) = csc (15)

Suppose you wish to borrow $600 for two weeks and the amount of interest you must pay is $25 per $100 borrowed. What is the APR
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The APR at which the money is borrowed, is approximately 651.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount which one wishes to borrow for two weeks, P = $600

The amount of interest that one must pay back = $25 per $100 borrowed

Therefore;

The total interest on the $600 loan (borrowed) for two weeks = 25/100× $600 = $150

The number of days for which the amount was borrowed = 2 weeks = 14 days

The Annual Percentage Rate, APR is given as follows;

APR = \left (\dfrac{\left (\dfrac{Interest \ Paid \ for \ the  \ Loan \ duration}{The \ amount \ borrowed} \right )}{The \ number \ of \ days \ the \ amount \ was  \ borrowed } \right ) \times 365 \times 100

Therefore, we get

APR = \left (\dfrac{\left (\dfrac{150}{600} \right )}{14 } \right ) \times 365 \times 100  \approx 651.79 \%

The annual rate at which the money is borrowed, APR ≈ 651.79%.

Llana [10]

−34(x+2)=6

distribute

-34x -68 = 6

add 68 to each side

-34 x = 74

divide by -34

x = 74/-34

x = -2 6/34

x =-2 3/17
