The answer is 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²
The area (A) of the parallelogram with altitude a and base b is:
A = a * b
We have:
A = ?
a = 6 in
Since 1 inch is 0.083 feett, then 6 inches is
a = 6 * 0.083 ft = 0.498 ft ≈ 0.5 ft = 1/2 ft
b = 1 1/2 ft = 1 + 1/2 ft = 2/2 + 1/2 ft = 3/2 ft
_______
A = a * b
a = 1/2 ft
b = 3/2 ft
A = 1/2 * 3/2 = 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²
F(-5) just means that your substituting the number -5 for every x value. So if you have x+1 this would be -5+1 which is -4
Discounted Cost= Cost of Item - (Cost of Item * % Discount)
= $45.60 - ($45.60 * 30%)
convert % to decimal (30% ÷ 100)
= 45.60 - (45.60 * 0.30)
multiply in parentheses
= 45.60 - 13.68
= $31.92 discounted cost
ANSWER: The discounted cost of the item is $31.92 (savings of $13.68).
Hope this helps! :)
