Original cost = saved amount * 1/savings
x = 140* 100/20
x = $7000

A circle has a radius of 9 ft. Find the length of s of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 97 degrees. Do not round any in

Sedaia [141]

$\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle\ in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=9\\
\theta = 97
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{97\cdot \pi \cdot 9}{180}$

Explain ehy the square root of 64 has a positive and a negative value.

Ganezh [65]

The square root of 64 is 8, or -8

This is because 8 times 8 is 64

And -8 times -8 is 64 (because a negative times a negative is a positive)

Which is the graph of f(x) =4(1/2)^x

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=4(\frac{1}{2})^{x}$

This is a exponential function of the form

$y=a(b)^{x}$

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

r is the rate

b=1+r

In this problem we have

a=4 ----> initial value (y-intercept)

b=1/2

so

1+r=1/2

r=1/2-1=-1/2

r=-0.5=-50% ----> is negative because is a decrease rate

using a graphing tool

The graph in the attached figure

seropon [69]

9 because if each poinsettia is $20 and she sold 15 she made $300 on the poinsettia. 543-300=243 so she made $243 on the wreaths and each reath costs $27 so 243÷27=9
