Given:

The selling price of a ratio set = 72.00

Profit percent = 8%

To find:

The cost price for the radio set.

Solution:

Let x be the cost price for the radio set.

Radio set is sold at 8% profit.

\text{Selling price}=x+\dfrac{8}{100}x

\text{Selling price}=x+0.08x

\text{Selling price}=1.08x

The selling price of a ratio set is 72.00.

72=1.08x

\dfrac{72}{1.08}=x

x=66.666...

x\approx 67

Therefore, the cost price for the radio set is 67.

According to the key of a particular park map, every 8 inches on the map represents 3 miles of trails in the park. How many inch
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you take into account that 8 inches represents 3 miles and that x represent the number of inches for 9 miles. That is:

8 ------- 3

x ------- 9

This is simply a rule of three, then you calculate:

x=\frac{8\ x\ 9}{3}=\frac{72}{3}=24

Hence, 24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

Find all real zeros of 4x^3-20x+16
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

  {1, (-1±√17)/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.

___

Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.

It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.

__

Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.

The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:

  a=1, b=1, c=-4

  x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2

  x = (-1 ±√17)2

The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.

_____

The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.

__

The given expression factors as ...

  4(x -1)(x² +x -4)
