Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ticket price of jacket = $199

Final price after addition of sales tax = $208.95

Percentage sales tax on the jacket =?

Final price after addition of sales tax = price of jacket + amount of sales tax paid

208.95 = 199 + amount of sales tax paid

amount of sales tax paid = 208.95 - 199

amount of sales tax paid = $9.95

Let Percentage of sales tax = x

(x / 100) * 199 = 9.95

199x / 100 = 9.95

199x = 995

x = 5

Hence percent sales tax paid = 5%

some psychologists believe that a genius should be defined as anyone having an IQ over 140. If IQ scores are normally distribute
denis23 [38]

Answer:

61,239,550

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the IQ scores. This would imply that X is normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 17. We proceed to determine the probability that an individual chosen at random from the population would be a genius, that is;

Pr( X>140)

The next step is to evaluate the z-score associated with the IQ score of 140 by standardizing the random variable X;

Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>\frac{140-100}{17})=Pr(Z>2.3529)

The area to the right of 2.3529 will be the required probability. This area from the standard normal tables is 0.009314

From a population of 6,575,000,000 the number of geniuses would be;

6,575,000,000*0.009314 = 61,239,550

Polynomial expressions with matching​
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The difference of 27x³ and 8y³ → [3x - 2y][9x² + 6xy + 4y²]

The difference of 27x³ and 64y³ → [3x - 4y][9x² + 12xy + 16y²]

The sum of 27x³ and 64y³ → [3x + 4y][9x² - 12xy + 16y²]

The sum of 27x³ and 8y³ → [3x + 2y][9x² - 6xy + 4y²]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first two, we use the Difference of Cubes [(a³ - b³)(a² + 2ab + b²)] first by taking the cube root of the given expression to get our first factor[s]:

\displaystyle 3x - 2y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 - 8y^3} \\ 3x - 4y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 - 64y^3}

Then, use the acronym of SOAP {whether the next operations symbols will be negative or positive [SAME (your cube-rooted factor has an IDENTICAL OPERATION SYMBOL as your given expression), OPPOSITE (the first sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will be the opposite of what the sign in your given expression, which will be a plus sign), ALWAYS POSITIVE (the last sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will ALWAYS stay positive NO MATTER WHAT)]} to get the second factor:

Given: 27x³ - 64y³

[3x - 4y][9x² + 12xy + 16y²]

↑ ↑ ↑

same as opposite ALWAYS POSITIVE

Given: 27x³ - 8y³

[3x - 2y][9x² + 6xy + 4y²]

given of given

Now, for the last two, we use the Sum of Cubes [(a³ + b³)(a² - 2ab + b²)] first by taking the cube root of the given expression to get our first factor[s]:

\displaystyle 3x + 2y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 + 8y^3} \\ 3x + 4y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 + 64y^3}

Then, use the acronym of SOAP {whether the next operations symbols will be negative or positive [SAME (your cube-rooted factor has an IDENTICAL OPERATION SYMBOL as your given expression), OPPOSITE (the first sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will be the opposite of what the sign is in your given expression, which will be a minus sign), ALWAYS POSITIVE (the last sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will ALWAYS stay positive NO MATTER WHAT)]} to get the second factor:

Given: 27x³ + 64y³

[3x + 4y][9x² - 12xy + 16y²]

↑ ↑ ↘

same as opposite ALWAYS POSITIVE

given of given

Given: 27x³ + 8y³

[3x + 2y][9x² - 6xy + 4y²]

↑ ↑ ↘

same as opposite ALWAYS POSITIVE

I am delighted to assist you anytime!

* As you can see, when using the <em>Difference\Sum of Cubes</em>, SOAP can vary depending on how an expression is given to you. They resemble each other though.

I need help with answering the following questions. :/ :)
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

  a) (0, ∞)

  b) (-∞, ∞)

  c) x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps to have some idea what the log function is.

__

a) The domain is all positive numbers: (0, ∞).

b) The range is all real numbers: (-∞, ∞). (The vertical translation downward by 5 units does not change that.)

c) There is a vertical asymptote where the argument of the log function is zero: at x=0.
