Mathematics
1 answer:
const2013 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(a) A = 0.00278787878787878x

(b) B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

(c) The answers are as follows:

<u>For buying by credit card</u>

For 700 BWP: Cost = A = £1.95

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.23

For 800 BWP: Cost = A = £2.79

<u>For buying from a Bureau de Change</u>

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: Cost = B = £4.65

For 800 BWP: Cost = B = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: Cost = B = £5.35

(d) You would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) by credit card

For the exchange rate, we have:

8.25 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.25 / 8.25 BWP = £1 / 8.25 = 1.00 BWP = £0.121212121212121

The expression can therefore be written as follows:

A = £0.121212121212121 * r * x ................. (1)

Where;

A = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by credit card

r = commission on a credit card transaction = 2.3%, or 0.023

x = the number of pulas bought

Substituting for r into equation (1), we have:

A = £0.121212121212121 * 0.023 * x

A = 0.00278787878787878x ................. (2)

Equation (2) is the expression.

(b) from a Bureau de Change

For the exchange rate, we have

8.5 BWP = £1 ⇒ 8.5 / 8.5 BWP = £1 / 8.5 = 1.00 BWP = 0.117647058823529

B = (£0.117647058823529 * r * x) + F ................. (3)

Where;

B = cost (including commission) of buying a particular number of Botswana pulas by from a Bureau de Change.

r = commission charged by Bureau de Change. = 2%, or 0.02

x = the number of pulas bought

F = fee = £3

Substituting for r and F into equation (3), we have:

B = (£0.117647058823529 * 0.02 * x) + £3

B = 0.00235294117647058x + 3 ................. (4)

Equation (4) is the expression.

c. Evaluate each of these expressions for 700 BWP, 800 BWP, and 1000 BWP respectively.

<u>For buying by credit card</u>

The equation (2) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 700 = £1.95

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 800 = £2.23

For 800 BWP: A = £0.00278787878787878 * 1000 = £2.79

<u>For buying from a Bureau de Change</u>

The equation (4) is used as follows:

For 700 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 700) + £3 = £1.65 + £3 = £4.65

For 800 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 800) + £3 = £1.88 + £3 = $4.88

For 1000 BWP: B = (£0.00235294117647058 * 1000) + £3 = £2.35 + £3 = £5.35

d. Hazard a guess as to the number of pulas you would have to buy for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

This can be calculated by equating equations (2) and (4) and then solve for x as follows:

0.00278787878787878x = 0.00235294117647058x + 3

0.00278787878787878x - 0.00235294117647058x = 3

x(0.00278787878787878 - 0.00235294117647058) = 3

x0.0004349376114082 = 3

x = 3 / 0.0004349376114082

x = 6,897.54 pulas

Therefore, you would have to buy 6,897.54 pulas for the cost to be the same whether you use a credit card or cash.

Determine whether the three segment lengths will produce a triangle. Type yes or no in the space provided.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to know if the lengths of the three segments

 can formed a triangle

- It is a fact that in any triangle the sum of the smallest two sides

 must be greater than the largest side

- Lets study some examples

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 6 , 7

∵ 5 and 6 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 6 = 11

∵ 11 > 7 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 6 , 7 can formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 7 , 12

∵ 5 and 7 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 7 = 12

∵ 12 = 12 ⇒ the sum equal the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 7 , 12 can not formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 10 , 12 , 24

∵ 10 and 12 are the smallest

∴ 10 + 12 = 22

∵ 22 < 24 ⇒ the sum less than the 3rd side

∴ 10 , 12 , 24 can not formed a triangle

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the three segments are 20 , 20 , 30

∵ 20 and 20 are the smallest

∴ 20 + 20 = 40

∵ 40 > 30 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle
