A bicycle helmet has a selling price of $50. The helmet is discounted 30% off the selling price. The sales tax rate is 6%. What

is the total cost of the helmet?

Convert 30% to a decimal by dividing by 100 = 0.30

Multiply by the cost of the helmet, $50
50 x 0.30 = $15, the amount of the discount.

50-15 = $35, the sale price of the helmet.

For the sales tax, again, convert to a decimal by dividing by 100 = 0.06

35 x 0.06 = 2.10, the amount of sales tax

$35 + $2.10 = $37.10, total cost with tax

if the rate of change for one linear function is positive and for another is negative can they both be either increasing or decr
Alla [95]

Answer:

They can never be both either increasing or decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is positive, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 0° to 90° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be increasing.

Again, if the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is negative, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 90° to 180° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be decreasing.

Hence, if the rate of change of one linear function is positive and for another is negative, they can never be both either increasing or decreasing. (Answer)

Amanda leaned a 15-foot ladder against the top of her house so she could get on the roof, which is 12 feet from the ground.
valentinak56 [21]

If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)

a²+b²=c²

12²+b²=15²

144+b²=225

b²=81

√b²=√81

b=9

Find the value of B - A if the graph of Ax + By = 3 passes through the point (-7, 2), and is parallel to the graph x + 3y = -5.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B - A = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point: (-7,2)

x + 3y = -5

Required

Find B- - A in Ax + By = 3

To start with; we need to calculate the slope of x + 3y = -5

x + 3y = -5

Subtract x from both sides

x - x + 3y = -5 - x

3y = -5 - x

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5}{3} - \frac{x}{3}

y = -\frac{5}{3} - \frac{x}{3}

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x

Slope = - \frac{1}{3}

The question says line Ax + By = 3 is parallel to line x + 3y = -5; This means that they have the same slope of - \frac{1}{3}

Having calculated the slope, next is to calculate the equation of the line using the following formula;

m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}

Where m is the slope; m = - \frac{1}{3}; (x_1, y_1) = (-7,2)

Substitute these values in the formula above; the formula becomes

-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{x - -7}

-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{x +7}

Cross Multiply

-1(x+7) = 3(y-2)

Open brackets

-x - 7 = 3y - 6

Add x to both sides

x - x - 7 = 3y - 6 + x

-7 = 3y - 6 +x

Add 6 to both sides

-7 + 6 = 3y -6 + 6 + x

-1 = 3y + x

Multipby both sides by -3

-3(-1) = -3(3y + x)

3 = -9y - 3x

-9y - 3x = 3

-3x - 9y = 3

Comparing the above to Ax + By = 3

Ax = -3x\\A = -3

By = -9y\\B = -9

B - A = -9 - (-3)

B - A = -9 + 3

B - A = -6
