First, convert 1/20 to decimal form:
1/20 = 0.05
This means that the sales tax rate is 5%.
Multiply the cost of the item times 0.05 to get the amount of the sales tax:
25.60 * 0.05 = $1.28 sales tax

A batter strikes a baseball. the equation y = -0.005^2 +0.7x + 3.5 models its path, where x is the horizontal distance, in feet,
hram777 [196]

Answer:

(D)144.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation which models the path of the baseball

y = -0.005x^2 +0.7x + 3.5

where x is the horizontal distance, in feet, the ball travels and y is the height, in feet, of the ball.

To determine how far from the batter the ball will land, we determine the distance x at which the height, y=0.

y = -0.005x^2 +0.7x + 3.5=0

-0.005x^2 +0.7x + 3.5=0

We use the quadratic formula to solve.

In the quadratic equation above, a=-0.005, b=0.7, c=3.5

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\=\dfrac{-0.7\pm\sqrt{0.7^2-4(-0.005*3.5)} }{2*-0.005} \\=\dfrac{-0.7\pm\sqrt{0.49+0.07} }{-0.01}\\=\dfrac{-0.7\pm\sqrt{0.56} }{-0.01}\\x=\dfrac{-0.7+\sqrt{0.56} }{-0.01} \: or\: x=\dfrac{-0.7-\sqrt{0.56} }{-0.01}\\x=-4.83 \: or\: x=144.83

Since x cannot be negative, x=144.8 feet to the nearest tenth of a foot.

<u>The correct option is D.</u>

Find the missing side
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A and B are the two smaller sides and C is the hypotenuse.

Because of this, in this triangle 30^2 + B^2 = 78^2

Which means B^2 = 5184

And B = 72

If m(x)=x+5/x-1 and n(x)=x-3 which function has the same domain as (m•n)(x)
worty [1.4K]
Consider the functions m and n:


i) m(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-1}   for x≠1.

the domain of m is  all the real numbers except 1.


ii) n(x)=x-3 is a polynomial function, because x-3 is a linear polynomial. 

The domain of any polynomial function is all real numbers. To determine the Range of this function, let c be a value in the range:

x-3=c, then x=3+c.

so if we want the function to produce c, we just set x=3+c, check:

n(3+c)=(3+c)-3=c.

This means that the Range of n is all real numbers.


What this means, is that the input (x) of the function n(x) can be any real number, and the output (n(x)) can also be any number.

so let n(x)=a, consider m(a):

m(a)=(a+5)/(a-1), clearly a≠1, this means n(x)=x-3≠1, that is x≠-4
 

This means that the domain of the composed function, m(n(x)) =  say f(x), 

is all Real numbers except 4.


Check: letting x be 4, would mean n(4)=4-3=1

which would mean m(n(4))=m(1)=(1+5)/(1-1)=6/0, which makes no sense.


Answer: Any function with domain R-{4}, has the same domain of (mon)(x)
