Answer:

For 15 pens, the cost is $7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

8 pens = $3.84

Work:

8 pens = $3.84

Divide the RHS:

=> 1 pen = 3.84/8
=> 1 pen = 0.48

Multiply the RHS:

=> 15 pens = 0.48 x 1
=> 15 pens = $7.2

Hence, for 15 pens, the cost is $7.2

Hoped this helped.

The cost of 15 pens is $7.20.

3.48 divided by 8 is 0.48. Multiply that by 15 and you get 7.2 or $7.20

How many words of five letters can be created that start with the letter T, contain 2 other consonats and end with 2 vowels? Not

Jet001 [13]

If we're only counting 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and 20 consonants (everything else, minus T), then there are

$\dbinom52=\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=10$

ways of picking the vowels, and

$\dbinom{20}2=\dfrac{20!}{2!(20-2)!}=190$

ways of picking the consonants.

We want the word to start with T, and we'll allow any arrangement of the other 4 letters, so that the total number of words is

$4!\dbinom52\dbinom{20}2=\boxed{45,600}$

Keep in mind that this means words like TRIES and TIRES are treated as different.

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.x ^ 2 + 16x + 59 = 0First, choose the appropriate form and fill in the bla

nikitadnepr [17]

Given:

There are given the quadratic equation:

$x^2+16x+59=0$

Explanation:

To find the value of x by using completing the square, first, we need to subtract 59 on both sides of the given equation:

So,

From the given equation:

$\begin{gathered} x^2+16x+59=0 \\ x^2+16x+59-59=0-59 \\ x^2+16x=-59 \end{gathered}$

Now,

Take half of the x term and square it:

So,

From the x term,

$\lbrack16\cdot\frac{1}{2}\rbrack^2=64$

Then,

Add 64 on both sides of the above equation.

So,

$\begin{gathered} x^2+16x=-59 \\ x^2+16x+64=-59+64 \\ x^2+16x+64=5 \\ (x+8)^2=5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, an option first is correct:

$(x+8)^2=5$

Now,

From the above square:

$\begin{gathered} (x+8)^2=5 \\ x+8=\pm\sqrt[]{5} \end{gathered}$

Then,

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation;;

So,

$\begin{gathered} x+8=\pm\sqrt[]{5} \\ x+8-8=\pm\sqrt[]{5}-8 \\ x=\pm\sqrt[]{5}-8 \\ x=\sqrt[]{5}-8,\pm\sqrt[]{5}-8 \\ x=-5.7639,-10.236067 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, the value of x is shown below:

$x=(-5.76,-10.24)$
