A school librarian can buy books at a 20% discount from the list price. One month she spent $72 for books. What was the list price value of the books? Is the answer $90?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ YES \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

let's say that the price of the book was x

the price after a 20% discount is x - 20%*x = x*(1-20%)=x*(1-.20)=0.8*x

and this is $72 so we can write that

0.8*x=72

and then divide by 0.8 both parts

x = 72/0.8=90

So the list price value of the book is $90

and we can verify as 90 - 20%*90 = 90 - 18 = 72

Hope this helps

Answer:

44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant- secant angle y is half the difference of the measure of its intercepted arcs, that is

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](BHF - CGJ ) = y , that is

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](156 - CGH) = 56° ( multiply both sides by 2 )

156 - CGH = 112° , thus

Which of the following lines the parallel to the line y-9=7(x+5)

A.) y-9=3x+4
B.) y=-9x-5
C.) y+5=7(x-9)
D.) y-9=5(x+4)

Answers

Answer:

C.) y + 5 = 7(x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

(x₁, y₁) - point on a line

m - slope

We have the line y - 9 = 7(x + 5). The slope m = 7.

A) y - 9 = 3x + 4 → m = 3

B) y = -9x - 5 → m = -9

C) y + 5 = 7(x - 9) → m = 7

D) y - 9 = 5(x + 4) → m = 5

The line C) y + 5 = 7(x - 9) has the same slope.

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean p = 100 and standard deviation o = 15. Compute the
probability P(X > 112).

Answers

Answer:

P(X > 112) = 0.21186.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 100 and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 15.

Let X = a random variable

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                               Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 100

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviaton = 15

Now, the probability that the random variable X is greater than 112 is given by = P(X > 112)

      P(X > 112) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{112-100}{15}[/tex] ) = P(Z > 0.80) = 1- P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.80)

                                                       = 1 - 0.78814 = 0.21186  

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.80 in the z table which has an area of 0.78814.

[tex]y = x - 5..........(ii)[/tex]

Equate ( i ) and ( ii ),

[tex] - 2x + 4 = x - 5[/tex]

Move variable to L.H.S and change its sign

Similarly, Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

[tex] - 2x - x = - 5 - 4[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] - 3x = - 9[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

[tex] \frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{ - 9}{ - 3} [/tex]

Any expression divided by itself equals 1

[tex]x = \frac{ - 9}{ - 3} [/tex]

Dividing two negatives equals a positive [tex]( - ) \div ( - ) = ( + )[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{9}{3} [/tex]

calculate the quotient

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

Value of X is 3

Now, put the value of X in equation ( i ) in order to find the value of y

[tex]y = x - 5[/tex]

plug the value of X

[tex] = 3 - 5[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] = - 2[/tex]

Value of y is -2

So, ( 3 , -2 ) is the solution of the given equation.

D. {270 degree + 360 degree n, 315 degree + 360 degree n, where n is any integer}

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is   sinθ * cosθ - sinθ = 0

sinθ * cosθ -sinθ = 0sinθ * cosθ = sinθcosθ = sinθ/sinθcosθ = 1

θ = 0 + 2kπ

θ = 2kπ where k is any integer

The solutions to the equation are: {0 degree, 180 degree, 360 degree, 360 degree + 180 degree n, where n is any integer}

Hence, the correct option is C.

The given equation is:

sin theta × cos theta - sin theta = 0

We can factor out the sine theta:

sin theta (cos theta - 1) = 0

This means that either sin theta = 0 or cos theta - 1 = 0.

If sin theta = 0, then theta = 0, 180 degrees, 360 degrees, etc.

If cos theta - 1 = 0, then cos theta = 1, which means that theta = 0 degrees and 360 degrees.

Therefore, the solutions to the equation are:

{0 degree, 180 degree, 360 degree, 360 degree + 180 degree n, where n is any integer}

So the answer is C.

Austin walks 2/3 of the way to school and stopped to rest. Devyn walks 4/6 of the way to school and stops for a rest. Where are they in their route to school? Who has traveled further?

Answers

Answer:

both are at the same distance

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Austin and Devyn both have 1/3 of the way left on their way to school. They both also have walked the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Austin has to walk to his school, which could be said as 3/3 and Austin has already walked 2/3. Then if we conduct the equation 3/3-2/3=x. x=1/3. Now Devyn has already walked 4/6 of the way to school. If she has to walk a total of 6/6, then we can again make an equation 6/6-4/6=2/6. Now if we take the distance that they both have left to their school, its 1/3 and 2/6. These are both equavalent fractions because if you scale up 1/3, it equals to 2/6. Since they both have an equal amount of distance to travel, that must mean that they both have covered the same amount of distance already. We can double check to be sure. 2/3 *2/2=4/6. The reason we used 2/2 is because4/2=2 and 6/3=2.

Answers

Answer:

The lengths 14, 24, and 26 cannot be the sides of a right triangle.  The lengths 30, 72, 78 can be the sides of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that the lengths 14, 24, and 26 cannot be the sides of a right triangle:

a=14, b=24, c=26

Pythagoreon theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

substitute values in: 14^2+24^2=26^2

simplify: 196+576=676

simplify again: 772=676, which is not true

This proves that the lengths 14, 24, and 26 cannot be the sides of a right triangle.

To prove that the lengths 30, 72, and 78 can be the sides of a right triangle:

a=30, b=72, c=78

Pythagoreon theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

substitute values in: 30^2+72^2=78^2

simplify: 900+5184=6084

simplify again: 6084=6084, which is true

This proves that the lengths 30, 72, and 78 can be the sides of a right triangle.

The city park department is planning to enclose a play area with fencing. One side of the area will be against an existing building, so no fence is needed there. Find the dimensions of the maximum rectangular area that can be enclosed with 800 meters of fence. Include the units.

Answers

Answer:

The maximum rectangular area will have the length 400 meters and width 200 meters with one side of the length against an existing building.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (L+B)

here;

L = the length of the side of the fence

B = the width of the fence

So; The perimeter of a rectangle = 2L+2B

we are also being told that;

One side of the area will be against an existing building

i.e

The perimeter of a rectangle is now =  L + 2B = 800 meters

L = 800 - 2B

Similarly; Area of a rectangle = L × B

Area of a rectangle = ( 800 - 2B) × B

Area of a rectangle =  800B - 2B²

assuming A(B) to represent the Area;

Then the maximum area A'(B) = 0 ;

Thus,

A'(B) = 800 - 4B = 0

-4B = - 800

4B = 800

B = 200

Therefore; the maximum area have a width = 200 meters and a length 800 - 2(200) =  800 - 400 = 400 meters

Give the greatest common divisor of $6^3$ and $3^6$.

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3^6 is only divisible by 3 and powers of 3(including 1) the gcd of 3^6 and 6^3 mus be a power of 3 hence we need to find the highest powers of 3 that divide 6^3 and that divide 3^6, which are respectively 3^3 and 3^6, hence, taking the smaller one (since we want it to divide both), our answer is 3^3=27.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest common divisor is the largest positive integer that divides each integer in the given problem

6³ = (2* 3)³ = 2³ * 3³

3⁶ = 3³ * 3³

Greatest common divisor = 3³ = 3* 3* 3 = 27

Answers

Answer:

Option : Statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample of professors is selected and it is found that Modifying 35 % with underline own a television.

The 35% is the value that summarizes the characteristic of the sample taken from the population. Thus, the value 35% is a statistic.

While a parameter gives a value describing the characteristic of the population itself

Given: Sample proportion is (P)=[tex]35%[/tex]%.

Statistics are the constants that are computed from sample observations alone. This is a simple definition of statistics.

Answer: The correct statement is  Statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population.

Explanation: That is, statistic because the value is a numerical measurement describing the characteristic of a sample.

The remaining statements are incorrect.

As parameters are the constants of the population. They describe only the population not the sample.

EMERGENCY HELP! A steady stream of water flows into a partially-filled rectangular tank. After 6 minutes, there are 87 gallons of water in the tank. After 21 minutes, there are 222 gallons. Write an equation to represent the volume of water in the tank y after x minutes. How much water was in the tank to begin?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=9x+33[/tex]

33 gallons of water to begin with.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are essentially given two coordinates: (6,87) and (21,222). To find an equation, we will need to find the slope and y-intercept. We know it's a linear equation because it's a steady stream, meaning a constant slope.

Using the slope formula, the slope is:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{222-87}{21-6}=135/15=9[/tex]

So, the rate at which the stream flows is 9 gallons per minute.

Now, let's find the initial amount of water. To do this, we can use point-slope form. Pick either of the two points. I'm going to use (6,87).

Point-slope form is given by:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]y-(87)=9(x-(6))[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]y-87=9x-54[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]y=9x+33[/tex]

So, there were 33 gallons of water in the tank to begin with.

What is slope and how is it determined from a graph? How do you determine the intercepts from an equation or graph? How can linear equations and functions be written and graphed?

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The slope is the steepness or incline of a line. From a graph, it is known as the rise over the run between two integer values. If you have a point at (1,1) and a point at (2,2), the rise (vertical difference) between them in 1 unit, and the run (horizontal difference) is 1 unit. 1/1 is 1, so the slope of a line that passes through these points is 1. This means that for every one unit to the right it goes, it goes one unit up.

The intercepts are where the line hits the x and y axes. By looking at a graph, you can find the y-intercept by seeing on what y-value the line intersects with the y-axis, and for the x-intercept you do so with the x-axis.

The slope-intercept equation is y=mx+b. This b is the y-intercept. To find the x-intercept, you plug in the value 0 for y and solve for x. This is because the x-axis is the line y=0, so you will see where the x is if y is equal to 0.

Linear equations and functions can be written in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), standard form (Ax+By=C), and point slope form [tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )[/tex].

They can be graphed by finding the y and x intercepts from the equation and then connecting the points to draw the line!

Have a wonderful day! :D
