A housekeeper was earning $9.50 an hour before a

Mathematics

Degger [83]2 years ago

Answer:

raise = $0.76

new wage = $10.26 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

8% in decimal form = 8/100 = 0.08

To find 8% of 9.50:  0.08 x 9.50 = 0.76

Therefore, the housekeeper's raise = $0.76

To calculate the amount she now earns after the raise, add the 8% rise to the initial value:

0.76 + 9.50 = $10.26

A line with a slope of -4 has a coordinate of (0,3). If the other coordinate is (6,t),
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Alrighty! So this is what we know:

Slope (m) = (-4)

Co-ordinate (0,3)

Co-ordinate 2 (6,t)

t = ?

Let's find our equation...

y=mx+b <-- just plug what we know in...

3=(-4)0+b

3=0+b

b=3

We just found b! woohoo

Now what is t? t is a value we need to know WHICH IS the y value of a co-ordinate that corresponds to when x is 6, as we know a co-ordinate is expressed as --> (x value, y value).

SO-

t=y

plug it in our equation...

y=mx+b

t=(-4)x+3

t=(-4)(6)+3

t=(-24)+3

t=(-21)

SOOOOOOOO WE HAVE OUR T!! just write a therefore statement like "therefore the value of t is -21." and you're set! hope this helped, any questions? ask in the comment section. :)

At which points are the tangents drawn to the ellipse x 2 + y 2 = [ a ] x + [ a ] y parallel to
In-s [12.5K]

The given equation of the ellipse is x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

At tangent line, the point is horizontal with the x-axis therefore slope = dy / dx = 0

<span>So we have to take the 1st derivative of the equation then equate dy / dx to zero.</span>

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

x^2 – 2 x = 2 y – y^2

(2x – 2) dx = (2 – 2y) dy

(2x – 2) / (2 – 2y) = 0

2x – 2 = 0

x = 1

 

To find for y, we go back to the original equation then substitute the value of x.

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

1^2 + y^2 = 2 * 1 + 2 y

y^2 – 2y + 1 – 2 = 0

y^2 – 2y – 1 = 0

Finding the roots using the quadratic formula:

y = [-(- 2) ± sqrt ( (-2)^2 – 4*1*-1)] / 2*1

y = 1 ± 2.828

y = -1.828 , 3.828

 

<span>Therefore the tangents are parallel to the x-axis at points (1, -1.828) and (1, 3.828).</span>

they want to collect 1000 cans of food. they need to collect 8 times as many cans as they already have in order to reach their g
lyudmila [28]
Divide 1000 by 8 which would give you 125. So they have 125 cans and they need to collect 8 times as many, meaning 8 times of what they have which is 125. And 125 times 8 is equal to 1000. YOU'RE WELCOME :D
