State sales tax y is directly proportional to retail price x. An item that sells for 156 dollars has a sales tax of 14.42 dollars. Find a mathematical model that gives the amount of sales tax y in terms of the retail price x .

What is the sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase is of $29.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

State sales tax y is directly proportional to retail price x.

This means that:

[tex]y = cx[/tex]

In which c is the constant of proportionality.

An item that sells for 156 dollars has a sales tax of 14.42 dollars.

This means that [tex]x = 156, y = 14.42[/tex]. We use this to find c. So

[tex]y = cx[/tex]

[tex]14.42 = 156c[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{14.42}{156}[/tex]

[tex]c = 0.0924[/tex]

Then

[tex]y = 0.0924x[/tex]

What is the sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase?

y when [tex]x = 320[/tex]. So

[tex]y = 0.0924(320) = 29.6[/tex]

The sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase is of $29.6.

Answer:

t = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

16 - 2t = 5t + 9

7 = 7t

t = 1

16 - 2t = 5t + 9
Subtract nine for both sides
7 - 2t = 5t
Add 2t on both sides
7 = 7t
Divide by 7 for both sides
1 = 1t

Suppose you have $1750 in your savings account at the end of a certain period of time. You invested $1500 at a 3.72% simple annual interest rate. How long, in years, was your money invested?

Answers

Answer:

4.48 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is

A = P(1+r*t), with A being the final amount, P being the initial amount, r being the interest rate, and t being the time. Plugging our values in, we get

1750 = 1500(1+0.0372 * t)

Note that 3.72 was translated into 0.0372 as changing percents to decimals requires dividing by 100

Expanding our equation, we get

1750 = 1500 + 55.8 * t

subtract 1500 from both sides to isolate the t and its coefficient

250 = 55.8 * t

divide both sides by 55.8 to get t

t = 4.48

Is x-3 a factor of x- 9x² - 14x + 24?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you are concerned with the cubic

  x³ -9x² -14x +24

Its factors are all irrational, as shown in the attached graph. x-3 is not a factor.

__

x-3 is a factor if the expression evaluates to zero when x=3. Here, it does not.

  ((x -9)x -14)x +24 for x=3 is ...

  ((3 -9)(3) -14)(3) +24 = (-18 -14)(3) +24 = -96 +24 = -72

The remainder from division by x-3 is not zero, so x-3 is not a factor.

Find the value of x in each case

Answers

Answer:

x = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

m<M = x

From the triangle we know that

m<M + m<MNQ + m<MQN = 180

From the parallel lines we know that

m<MNQ = m<UQN = x

x + x + 42 = 180

2x + 42 = 180

2x = 138

x = 69

Emily drove to town with an average speed of 32 miles per hour, and then back home with an average speed of 38 miles per hour. If her total traveling time was 42 minutes, how far is it from home to town?

Answers

Answer:

12.16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed - s,   Distance - d,  Time - t

Equation of time is:

t = d/s

Given,

s1 = 32 m/h, s2 = 38 m/h, t1 + t2 = 42 min = 42/60 h = 7/10 h

Total time is the sum of time values to and from the town:

d/32 + d/38 = 7/10d/16 + d/19 = 7/5d(1/16 + 1/19) = 7/5d(16 + 19) = 7(16*19)/535d = 425.6d = 425.6/35d = 12.16

It is given that,

→ s1= 32 miles/h

→ s2 = 38 miles/h

Now t1 + t2 is,

→ 42 min

→ 42/60 hours

→ 7/10 hours

The formula we use,

→ Time = Distance/Speed

→ t = d/s

Then the total time is the,

Sum of time values to and from the town.

→ d/32 + d/38 = 7/10

→ d/16 + d/19 = 7/5

→ d{(1/16) + (1/19)} = 7/5

→ d(16 + 19) = (7/5) × (16 × 19)

→ 35d = 425.6

→ d = 425.6/35

→ d = 12.16

Hence, the distance is 12.16 miles.

Given points A(-1, -2) and B(2, 4) where AP: BP=1:2, find the locus of point P.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = (-1,-2)[/tex]

[tex]B = (2,4)[/tex]

[tex]AP:BP = 1 : 2[/tex]

Required

The locus of P

[tex]AP:BP = 1 : 2[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]2AP = BP[/tex]

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}[/tex]

Take square of both sides

[tex]4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2[/tex]

Evaluate all squares

[tex]4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16[/tex]

Collect and evaluate like terms

[tex]4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y + 20 - 20 = 0[/tex]

[tex]3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y = 0[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0[/tex]

I didn't understand this to be honest I thought I had to find what jm and lm were together and then subtract from the whole total...but ended up being wrong. whats the correct answer?​

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives you the expression for JM and LM, and it asks for JL. Therefore, if you take away LM from JM, you are left with JL. You must subtract 2x-6 from 5x-8.

∴5x-8-(2x-6)

Do not forget to distribute the negative since you are subtracting, so instead of subtracting 6 from 8, you will be adding 6 to 8 because two negatives make a positive.
