Answer:

so the price for 1 mug was $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

initial price will be  P

Then the lower price is

x - 1.75

If 5 mugs cost $28.20 then we have to write an equation in order to find the price for 1 mug.

(P - 1.75)*5 = 28.20

P - 1.75 = 28.20/5

P - 1.75 = 5.64

P = 1.75 + 5.64

P = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Hope that helps... :)

Answer:

  • $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x

<u>Then the reduced price is </u>

  • x - 1.75

<u>If 5 mugs cost $28.20, we have equation:</u>

  • (x - 1.75)*5 = 28.20
  • x - 1.75 = 28.20/5
  • x - 1.75 = 5.64
  • x = 1.75 + 5.64
  • x = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Find the x- and y- intercepts of parabola y=5x^2-16x+10
____ [38]

Y-INTERCEPT

y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10

The y-intercept is where the equation/curve/parabola cosses the y-axis.

The y-axis is where x = 0. (The x-axis is where y = 0)

To find the y-intercept:

\text{y-axis} \rightarrow \text{x = 0} \rightarrow y = 5(0)^2 -16(0) + 10 = 10

The y-intercept must be at (0, 10)

X-INTERCEPT (ROOTS/SOLUTIONS)

y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10\\\text{make it equal 0}\\y = 0\\\therefore 5x^2 - 16x + 10 = 0

We need to use the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula helps us find what values of x make the equation = 0

Quadratic formula: x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-(-16) + \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{256-200}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{56}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + 2\sqrt{14}}{10}\\x = \frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\\\\\\x=\frac{-(-16) - \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\text{doing the same thing...}\\\text{end up with...}\\x = \frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}\\

The x-intercepts are at:

(\frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)\\(\frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)

Answer:

B. 45.23 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of the figure

=\frac{1}{2}\pi d+d

=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 17.6 +17.6

=\frac{1}{2}\times 55.264 +17.6

=27.632 +17.6

=45.232

You are playing tennis with a friend.The path of the tennis ball after you return to a serve can be modeled by the function y=-0
Ivahew [28]
#1) 4.445 ft
#2) yes

Explanation
#1) The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex.  We first find the axis of symmetry, given by x=-b/2a:

x=-0.17/2(-0.005) = -0.17/-0.01 = 17

Plugging this into the equation,
y=-0.005(17²)+0.17(17)+3 = 4.445

#2) Substituting 30 into the equation,
y=-0.005(30²) + 0.17(30) + 3 = 3.6

The ball will 3.6 in the air, so yes, it will clear the 3 ft tall net.

What is the rate of change between (29,9) and (33,10)?
Tema [17]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is a measure of the slope

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (29, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (33, 10)

m = \frac{10-9}{33-29} = \frac{1}{4} ← rate of change
