Answer:

$57.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you want to do is convert 24% to a decimal. To do this you just need to take the current decimal place and move it 2 places to the left. Since this percentage is a whole number the decimal is just after the 4.

(0.24)

Multiply that decimal by the number you want to find the percentage of

$240 * .24 = $57.60

$240 is the 100%
X Is the 24%
So (24x240)/100
5760/100 = $57.60
Or you can just do 240x0.24=$57.60
24% is the same as 0.24
And 100% is the same as 1

3c - b = 2a solve for c

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$c = \frac{2a + b}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3c - b = 2a \\ 3c = 2a + b \\ \frac{3c}{3} = \frac{2a + b}{3} \\ c = \frac{2a + b}{3}$

Circle theorem - easy work

makvit [3.9K]

Angle in a semi circle is 90°
<a = 180-90-<b = 90-28 = 62°

opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sums up to 180°
<b + <a = 180
<b = 180-62
<b = 118°

If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

a) Average velocity at 0.1 s is 696 ft/s.

b) Average velocity at 0.01 s is 7536 ft/s.

c) Average velocity at 0.001 s is 75936 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by $y = 70t-16t^2$ .

To find : The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting. a. 0.1 s. , b. 0.01 s. , c. 0.001 s.

Solution :

a) The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting 0.1 s.

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{\text{Change in height}}{0.1}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{h_{2.1}-h_2}{0.1}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{(70(2.1)-16(2.1)^2)-(70(0.1)-16(0.1)^2)}{0.1}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=\frac{69.6}{0.1}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.1\ s}=696\ ft/s$

b) The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting 0.01 s.

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{\text{Change in height}}{0.01}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{h_{2.01}-h_2}{0.01}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{(70(2.01)-16(2.01)^2)-(70(0.01)-16(0.01)^2)}{0.01}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=\frac{75.36}{0.01}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.01\ s}=7536\ ft/s$

c) The average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting 0.001 s.

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{\text{Change in height}}{0.001}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{h_{2.001}-h_2}{0.001}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{(70(2.001)-16(2.001)^2)-(70(0.001)-16(0.001)^2)}{0.001}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=\frac{75.936}{0.001}$

$(\text{Average velocity})_{0.001\ s}=75936\ ft/s$

All of the following expressions are equivalent except _____.

defon

Answer:

3. x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with 1. we know that 2-x is the same as -2+x and since addition can be written as -2+x or x+(-2) and equal the same thing, we know that x-2 is the one that is not equivalent.
