Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this use the equation x^2 -15x - 50 = y given in the problem and the value y = 50. Substitute y = 50 then solve for x by factoring.

x^2 -15x - 50 = 50\\x^2 - 15x -100 = 0

Find two numbers which multiply to -100 and also add to -15. The numbers are -20 and 5.

So the factored form is (x-20)(x+5) = 0.

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

(x-20) = 0 so x = 20.

(x+5)=0 so x = -5.

This means the temperature is 20 degrees C or -5 degrees C. Only 20 is an option. The solutions is C.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:  18

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The<u> sample mean</u> is the best point estimate of the population mean .

Given : A simple random sample of 5 observations from a population containing 400 elements was taken, and the following values were obtained (12 18 19 20 21).

Then , the sample mean = \dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}

sample mean =\dfrac{12 +18 +19+ 20+ 21}{5}=18

Hence, A point estimate of the mean is 18.

X+4y-3z=1 <br> 3x+12y-9z=8 <br> 2x+4y-4z=-12
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+4y-3z=1

x=1-4y+3z

3(1-4y+3z)+12y-9z=8

3-12y+9z+12y-9z=8

3=8

so your answer is No solution

An author published a book which was being sold online. The first month the author sold 21000 books, but the sales were declinin
Wittaler [7]

Answer:  119,616

You may have to erase the comma when inputting the answer.

=======================================================

Explanation:

The author sells 21,000 books in the first month.

Then they sell 21,000*(1-0.12) = 21,000*(0.88) = 18,480 in the second month.

Then they sell 18,480*(1-0.12) = 18,480*(0.88) = 16,262.4 = 16,262 in the third month.

And so on. These values follow a geometric sequence with first term a = 21,000 and common ratio r = 0.88

We can think of the 0.88 as 88% of the original value (since losing 12%, we keep the remaining 88%)

-------------

Use the formula below to sum the first 9 terms of the geometric sequence

Plug in a = 21000 and r = 0.88

S_n = a*\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}\\\\S_9 = 21000*\frac{1-0.88^9}{1-0.88}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*\frac{0.6835216}{0.12}\\\\S_9 \approx 21000*5.6960133\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616.2793\\\\S_9 \approx 119,616\\\\

The author sold about 119,616 books over the course of the first nine months.

ERRE
n200080 [17]

Answer:

<em>The total percentage discount was 19%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

Suppose the original price of the shirt was x.

A discount of 10% reduces the price by:

10*x/100 = 0.1x

Thus, the discounted price is:

x - 0.1x = 0.9x

The second discount reduces the price by:

10*0.9x/100 = 0.09x

The new discounted price is:

0.9x - 0.09x = 0.81x

With respect to the original price, the last discounted price has been discounted by:

x - 0.81x = 0.19x

This means the total percentage discount was 0.19*100 = 19%.

The total percentage discount was 19%
