Higher Order Thinking A customer at a clothing store is buying a pair of pants and a shirt. The customer can choose between a sa

le that offers a discount on pants, or a coupon for a discount on the entire purchase. Let n represent the original price of the pants and s represent the price of the shirt. a. Write two expressions that represent the "15% off sale on all pants" option. b. Write two expressions that represent the "10% off her entire purchase" option. c. If the original cost of the pants is $25 and the shirt is $10, which option should the customer choose? Explain

Solve for <em>x</em> when √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1 :

√(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1

<em>x</em> ² - 4 = 1

<em>x</em> ² = 5

<em>x</em> = ±√5

We're looking at <em>x </em>≤ 0, so we take the negative square root, <em>x</em> = -√5.

This means <em>f</em> (-√5) = 1, or in terms of the inverse of <em>f</em>, we have <em>f</em> ⁻¹(1) = -√5.

Now apply the inverse function theorem:

If <em>f(a)</em> = <em>b</em>, then  (<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(<em>b</em>) = 1 / <em>f '(a)</em>.

We have

<em>f(x)</em> = √(<em>x</em> ² - 4)   →   <em>f '(x)</em> = <em>x</em> / √(<em>x</em> ² - 4)

So if <em>a</em> = -√5 and <em>b</em> = 1, we get

(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = 1 / <em>f '</em> (-√5)

(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = √((-√5)² - 4) / (-√5) = -1/√5

The sign must be negative; see the attached plot, and take note of the negatively-sloped tangent line to the inverse of <em>f</em> at <em>x</em> = 1.

Sarah answered 24 questions on her test correctly and earned an 80%. How many questions were on the test?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

43 questions in total

Step-by-step explanation:

the original equation with the unknown (total number of questions on the test) will look like this

\frac{total \: number \: of \: questions \: on \: exam}{24 \: answered \: questions}  = 80\%

we know this because to work out a percentage in the 1st place you need the total ÷ number (in this case it's ÷ how many questions out of the total she did answer)

now you rearrange.

you need to move the 24 to get the total on it's own here's how you do it

\frac{tot \: num \: of \: qs}{24}  \times 24 = 80\% \times 24

what you do to one side of equation you have to do to the other. the 24 and 24 on the left will cancel because 24÷24=1 and we don't write

got mum of Q's x 1= 80 x 24

now you convert % to decimal

80\% \times 100 = 0.80

replace

tot \: num \: qs \:  = 24 \times 0.80 = 19

now you take the original and + the 19

24 + 19 = 43

therefore there are a total of 43 questions on the exam

When machineminushours are used as an overhead costminusallocation base and annual leasing costs for equipment unexpectedly​ inc
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

D. unfavorable fixed overhead flexible minus budget variance

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost of the equipment is increasing the fixed efficiency and idle capacity variance would be unfavorable resulting in an  unfavorable fixed overhead flexible minus budget variance.

The expenses of the machinery are the fixed indirect costs which result in fixed overhead variances. Since it is related to the working of the machinery it would result in efficiency and idle capacity variances that in turn would give unfavorable fixed overhead of the flexible minus budget variance.
