Answer:

$6.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the before-tax total amount:

$0.75 + $0.75 + $0.75 + $4.25, or

3($0.75) + $4.25 = $2.25 + $4.25 = $6.50    (total before tax)

The before-tax total PLUS the 5% tax comes to:

$6.50 + 0.05($6.50) = $6.50 + $0.33  =  $6.83

Completing the square:
vichka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Key to this method is remembering that

(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

So, if you divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it, that will complete the square. With that in mind, things are easy.

6/2 = 3, so add 3^2 = 9

x^2+6x+9 = (x+3)^2

So, c=9

Similarly, for the other two,

c = (\frac{-34}{2} )^2 = (-17)^2 = 289

You don't really have to worry about the sign, since squaring will always make it positive

(\frac{25}{13}) ^2 = \frac{625}{169}

System of equations<br><br>y=1/2x +5<br>y=3x -5​
Art [367]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set them equal to each other since they're both equal to y

3x-5=.5x +5

add 5 to both sides

3x=.5x+10

subtract .5x from both sides

2.5x=10

divide both sides by 2.5

x= 4

Any help please? For extra credit
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

A recursive formula allows any term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term.

Here d = - 4 , then recursive formula is

a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 4 with a₁ = 2

(b)

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 2 and d = - 4, thus

a_{n} = 2 - 4(n - 1) = 2 - 4n + 4 = 6 - 4n ← explicit formula

(c)

Using the recursive formula

a₁ = 2

a₂ = 2 - 4 = - 2

a₃ = - 2 - 4 = - 6

Using the explicit formula

a₅ = 6 - 4(5) = 6 - 20 = - 14

a₁₀ = 6 - 4(10) = 6 - 40 = - 34

a₁₀₀ = 6 - 4(100) = 6 - 400 = - 394

Find the interquartile range (IQR) of the data in the dot plot below. chocolate chips 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10
Brums [2.3K]

*The dot plot is shown in the attachment below

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Interquartile range is the difference between the upper median (Q3) and the lower median (Q1).

First, let's write out each value given in the data. Each dot represents a data point.

We have:

2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

=>Find the median:

Our median is the middle value. The middle value is the 6th value = 4

==>Upper median Q3) = the middle value of the set of data we have from the median to our far right.

2, 3, 3, 4, 4, |4,| 4, 5, [5], 6, 7

Our upper median = 5

==>Lower median(Q1) = the middle value of the data set we have from our median to our far left.

2, 3, [3], 4, 4, |4,| 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

Lower median = 3

==>Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1 = 5-3 = 2
