Answer: $285

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A trip costs \$319.19 after-tax inclusion

The rate of tax is 12%

Suppose x is the amount of charge before tax inclusion

We can write

\Rightarrow x+12\%x=319.19\\\Rightarrow x(1+0.12)=319.19\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{319.19}{1.12}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\$284.99\approx \$285

The amount before tax inclusion is $285

If a 12 sided regular polygon rotates about its center at which angle of rotation will the image of the polygon coinside with th
Amanda [17]

Answer: 30 degrees

This is the minimum amount of rotation.

Why this value? Well because 360/12 = 30

Consider a triangle with 3 sides. Specifically I mean an equilateral triangle. We can rotate it 120 degrees to have it line up with itself. Now notice that 360/3 = 120.

For a square, we can rotate it 90 degrees and we can say 360/4 = 90

So the general rule is that the minimum angle of rotation is 360/n, where n is the number of sides. This rule only works for regular polygons. Regular polygons have the same side length and the same angle measure (the side and angle measure won't necessarily be equal).

So going back to this 12 sided dodecagon, we have n = 12 and 360/n = 360/12 = 30 as the minimum angle of rotation. Each 30 degree rotation will have the polygon match up perfectly with its old image. The preimage and image will be identical.

Four seniors and six juniors are competing for four places on a quiz bowl team. What is the approximate probability that all fou
Vaselesa [24]

Answer: Second Option

P =0.00476

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability sought is calculated by calculating the quotient between the number of possible ways to select 4 seniors from a group of 4 seniors among the number of ways to select 4 seniors from a group of 10 people.

So:

P =\frac{4C4}{10C4}

Where

nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

is the number of ways in which a number r of people can be selected from a group of n people

Then

P =\frac{\frac{4!}{4!(4-4)!}}{\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}}\\\\\\P =\frac{1}{\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}}\\\\P =\frac{1}{210}\\\\P=0.00476

I really need help with this
slega [8]
Check the picture below.

the radius, so-called because if we circumscribe the triangle in a circle, that'd be the radius of the circumcircle, is 3 inches, as you see there in the picture in red.

now, bear in mind that the triangle is an equilateral one, and therefore, 180/3 = 60, meaning all its interior angles are congruently 60°.

if we run the radius of the triangle, like there, it will cut one of those interior angles in half, namely the radius is an angle bisector, and if we run a perpendicular line to the bottom side, like the dashed one there, we end up with a 30-60-90 triangle, to which we can apply the 30-60-90 rule, as you see it there.

since we know what half of a side of the triangle is, as you see it there in blue, then we can use that and plug it in at

\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~
\begin{cases}
s=length~of\\
\qquad a~side\\
-------\\
s=\stackrel{\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}}{3\sqrt{3}}
\end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{(3\sqrt{3})^2\sqrt{3}}{4}
\\\\\\
A=\cfrac{(3^2\sqrt{3^2})\sqrt{3}}{4}\implies A=\cfrac{(9\cdot 3)\sqrt{3}}{4}\implies A=\cfrac{27\sqrt{3}}{4}

A radioactive substance decays according to the formula
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

t=4820 y

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The half-life equation is given by:

t_{1/2}=\frac{ln(2)}{k}

b) Using the decay equation we have:

Q(t)=15e^{-0.0001438t}

we need to find t when Q(t)=\frac{Q_{0}}{2}

7.5=15e^{-0.0001438t}

0.5=e^{-0.0001438t}

ln(0.5)=-0.0001438t

t=\frac{ln(0.5)}{-0.0001438}

t=4820 y

Therefore, it will take 4820 years to decay to half the original amount.

I hope it helps you!
