Answer: Expression 1)  Neither of these.

Expression 2) Find the dollar amount of the tax,then added it to the price before tax.

Expression 3) Neither of these.

Expression 4) find the percentage of the original price Jack has to pay,then convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply to the final price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the diamond pony be $P.......(1)

Diamond pony tax percentage =25%

Diamond pony tax amount= 25% of P......(2)

=0.25 of P=$0.25 P............(3)

Case 1) If we add tax amount to the Price of diamond pony then it gives

 P+0.25P......(by adding (1) and (3))

=P(1+0.25)........(by taking P as common outside )

=P(1.25)=1.25P......> which is the original price which jack has to pay.

Case 2) Now if we add (1) and (2),we get

P+25%of P=100%P+25%P......(as it doesn't make any difference∵100% of P =P)

=(100+25)%P(by taking P as common outside )

=125%P=1.25P......> which is the original price which jack has to pay.

slavikrds [6]
The functions in part A are correct, we will now use them to solve for part B.
We equate the numbers of the trees in order to find x, which the number of years after which they will be equal.
800(0.95)ˣ = 50(1.15)ˣ
40 = (1.15 / .95)ˣ
Taking log₁₀ on both sides,
log(40) = x*log(1.15/0.95)
x = 19.31 years

_ x 2 + 1 = 25<br><br> Pls help I need the answer
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

x = ± 2\sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 1 = 25 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x² = 24 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{24} = ± \sqrt{4(6)} = \sqrt{4} × \sqrt{6} = ± 2\sqrt{6}

x = - 2\sqrt{6} , x = 2\sqrt{6}

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y =-1\3
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Hello!

If a you want to find an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line, we must know that if two lines are parallel, then their slope will <em>always</em> have to be equal.

This means that the new equation must have a slope of -1/3.

Also, you would need to substitute the given point (6, 8) into the equation with the slope: -1/3 as well. Following these steps allows you to find the equation of line.

y = -1/3x + b (6, 5)

5 = -1/3(6) + b

5 = -2 + b (add 2 to both sides)

7 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -1/3x + 7.
