A store charges 5.5 % sales tax on all items. If an item costs d dollars before tax, which expression represents the total cost

Answer: d + 0.055d or 1.055d

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of item = d

Sales tax percent = 5.5%

Total cost = Cost of item + Sales tax

= d + (5.5% × d)

= d + (5.5/100 × d)

= d + (0.055 × d)

= d + 0.055d

= 1.055d

Therefore, the expression that represents the total cost of the item, in dollars and cents, after tax will be:

d + 0.055d or 1.055d.

Suppose you have two urns with poker chips in them. Urn I contains two red chips and four white chips. Urn II contains three red

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Multiple answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The original urns have:

Urn 1 = 2 red + 4 white = 6 chips
Urn 2 = 3 red + 1 white = 4 chips

We take one chip from the first urn, so we have:

The probability of take a red one is : $\frac{1}{3}$ (2 red from 6 chips(2/6=1/2))

For a white one is: $\frac{2}{3}$ (4 white from 6 chips(4/6=(2/3))

Then we put this chip into the second urn:

We have two possible cases:

First if the chip we got from the first urn was white. The urn 2 now has 3 red + 2 whites = 5 chips
Second if the chip we got from the first urn was red. The urn two now has 4 red + 1 white = 5 chips

If we select a chip from the urn two:

In the first case the probability of taking a white one is of: $\frac{2}{5}$ = 40% ( 2 whites of 5 chips)
In the second case the probability of taking a white one is of: $\frac{1}{5}$ = 20% ( 1 whites of 5 chips)

This problem is a dependent event because the final result depends of the first chip we got from the urn 1.

For the fist case we multiply :

$\frac{4}{6}$ x $\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{4}{15}$ = 26.66% ( $\frac{4}{6}$ the probability of taking a white chip from the urn 1, $\frac{2}{5}$ the probability of taking a white chip from urn two)

For the second case we multiply:

$\frac{1}{3}$ x $\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{30}$ = .06% ( $\frac{1}{3}$ the probability of taking a red chip from the urn 1, $\frac{1}{5}$ the probability of taking a white chip from the urn two)

$f(x) = -x^2-7x-6$

As $x \to \pm \infty$ , $y \to - \infty$ .

This can be easily verified by looking at the graph (graph of a quadratic equation).

30.

The growth of a population is not linear, it's exponential.

31.

Exponential growth > polynomial, so $y = 3^x$ .

$V(t) = 30\cdot (25)^{\frac{t}{20}}$

The question is asking V(t) for t = 40.

$V(40) = 30\cdot (25)^{\frac{40}{20}} \\~\\V(40) = 30\cdot 25^2 \\~\\V(40) = 30\cdot 625 \\~\\V(40) = 18750$

36.

The point of symmetry of a quadratic equation $y = ax^2+bx+c$ is at its vertice:

$V_x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}$

$V_x = \dfrac{6}{2}$

$V_x = 3$

The line is x= 3.

Define a function f on a set of real numbers as follows: f(x) = 3x − 1 x , for each real number x ≠ 0 Prove that f is one-to-one

dalvyx [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x}$

For each real number $x\neq 0$

To prove that f is one -to-one.

Proof:Let $x_1$ and $x_2$ be any nonzero real numbers such that

$f(x_1)=f(x_2)$

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

$f(x_1)=\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}$

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation of $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$

$f(x_2)=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}$

Equating the expression then we get

$\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}$

$3x_1x_2-x_2=3x_2x_1-x_1$

$3x_1x_2-3x_1x_2+x_1=x_2$

$x_1=x_2$

Therefore, f is one-to-one.

Isolate the h in c=25h+350

Sati [7]

Subtract 350 from both sides then divide both sides by 25.

(c-350)/25 = h
