Answer:
The total profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The profit made on each mp3 is k = $35
The profit made on each mp3 is y = $18
The total amount sold is n = 118
Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n - x[/tex]
Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is
[tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]
And the the profit made from the n-x number of DVD sold is 18 (n-x ) = 18 - 18x
So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD is
[tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

The path is 2 feet wide. Find the total area of the vegetable garden and path
Answer:
Garden: 36 square feet
Path: 64 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first find the total area. The total area will be 100 square feet since the side length is 10. Since the path is 2 feet wide and on all sides, that means that the inside square will have a side length of 6. That means that the vegetable garden is 36 square feet. The path will be 100 - (the garden), and the garden is 36 square feet, which means the outer path will be 64.
Tessa’s employee benefits include family health care coverage. She contributes 18% of the cost. Tessa gets paid biweekly and $108.00 is taken out of each paycheck for family health care coverage. How much does her employer contribute annually for the family coverage? Clearly show your work.
The answer is $12792
Explanation:
It is known Tessa pays $108.00 to contribute to family coverage every two weeks and this represents 18% of the total payment. This implies the employer pays the 82% missing (100% - 18% = 82%). Additionally, with this information, it is possible to know the amount the employer has to pay every two weeks that represents 82%. The process is shown below:
1. Write the values you know and use x to represent the value you need to find
108 = 18
x = 82
3. Cross multiply
x 18 = 8856
4. Find the value of x by solving this simple equation
x = 8856 ÷ 18
x = 492 - Amount the employer pays every two weeks for Tessa's family coverage
Now that we know the money the employer pays every two weeks, it is possible to calculate the annual amount of money. Follow the process below.
1. Consider one year has a total of 52 weeks and divide this number of weeks by 2 because the payment for the family coverage occurs every 2 weeks
52 ÷ 2 = 26
2. Finally, multiply the money paid by the employer every two weeks by 26
26 weeks x $492 = $12792- This is the total the employer pays annually

Answer:
1 = (4 x 4)/(4 x 4) or (4 + 4)/(4 + 4) or (4 / 4) x (4 / 4) or (4 / 4)/(4 / 4)
2= (4 x 4)/(4 + 4) or 4 / ((4+4)/4)
3= (4 + 4 + 4)/4 or (4 x 4 - 4)/4
4 = 4 - (4 - 4)/4
5 = (4 x 4 + 4)/4
6 = 4 + (4 + 4)/4
7 = 4 - (4/4) + 4
8 = 4 + (4 x 4)/4
9 = 4 + 4 + (4/4)

the length of the base
h
The height of the triangle is
The base of the triangle is
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for area of a triangle:
Height x Base /2
Base (b) = h +4
Height = h
h + 4 x h /2 = 30cm
=> h +4 x h = 60
=> h+4h =60
=> 5h = 60
=> h = 12
Height = 12
Base = 12 +4 = 16
musah stands at the center of a rectangular field . He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 step west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 315°. How far west and how far north is Musah final point from the center?
Answer:
85.36 far north from the center
10.36 far east from the center
Step-by-step explanation:
The extra direction taken in the north side is x
X/sin(360-315)=50/sin 90
Sin 90= 1
X/sin 45= 50
X= sin45 *50
X= 0.7071*50
X= 35.355 steps
X= 35.36
Then the west direction traveled
West =√(50² - 35.355²)
West = √(2500-1249.6225)
West= √1250.3775
West= 35.36 steps
But this was taken in an opposite west direction
From the center
He is 35.36 +50
= 85.36 far north from the center
And
25-35.36=-10.36
10.36 far east from the center

Last Sunday, the average temperature was 8\%8%8, percent higher than the average temperature two Sundays ago. The average temperature two Sundays ago was TTT degrees Celsius. Which of the following expressions could represent the average temperature last Sunday?
Work Shown:
T = average Celsius temperature two Sundays ago
8% = 8/100 = 0.08
8% of T = 0.08T
L = average Celsius temperature last sunday
L = 8% higher than T
L = T + (8% of T)
L = T + 0.08T
L = 1.00T + 0.08T
L = (1.00 + 0.08)T
L = 1.08T
The 1.08 refers to the idea that L is 108% of T

The radius of a sphere is measured as 7 centimeters, with a possible error of 0.025 centimeter.
Required:
a. Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error, in cm3, in computing the volume of the sphere.
b. Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error in computing the surface area of the sphere.
c. Approximate the percent errors in parts (a) and (b).
Answer:
a) dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
b) dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
c) dV(s)/V(s) = 1,07 % and dS(s)/ S(s) = 0,71 %
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The volume of the sphere is
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³ where x is the radius
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:
dV(s)/ dr = 4*π*x² or
dV(s) = 4*π*x² *dr
the possible propagated error in cm³ in computing the volume of the sphere is:
dV(s) = 4*3,14*(7)²*(0,025)
dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
b) Surface area of the sphere is:
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³
dV(s) /dx = S(s) = 4*π*x³
And
dS(s) /dx = 8*π*x
dS(s) = 8*π*x*dx
dS(s) = 8*3,14*7*(0,025)
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
c) The approximates errors in a and b are:
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³ then
V(s) = (4/3)*3,14*(7)³
V(s) = 1436,03 cm³
And the possible propagated error in volume is from a) is
dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
dV(s)/V(s) = [15,386 cm³/1436,03 cm³]* 100
dV(s)/V(s) = 1,07 %
And for case b)
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
And the surface area of the sphere is:
S(s) = 4*π*x³ ⇒ S(s) = 4*3,14*(7)² ⇒ S(s) = 615,44 cm²
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
dS(s)/ S(s) = [ 4,396 cm²/615,44 cm² ] * 100
dS(s)/ S(s) = 0,71

(-10.6)
Answer:
The correct answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-8, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y-x = 6
y + x = -10
Add the two equations together to eliminate x
y-x = 6
y + x = -10
--------------------
2y = -4
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -4/2
y = -2
Now find x
y+x = -10
-2+x = -10
x = -8

4 1/3 • 4 1/5 = _____
Answer:
The value of [tex]4^{\dfrac{1}{3}} {\cdot} 4^{\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] is [tex]4^{\dfrac{8}{15}}[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to simplify the numeric expression using property. The expression is as follows :
[tex]4^{\dfrac{1}{3}} {\cdot} 4^{\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
The property to be used is : [tex]x^a{\cdot} x^b=x^{a+b}[/tex]
This property is valid if the base is same. Here, base is x.
In this given problem, x = 4, a = 1/3 and b = 1/5
So,
[tex]4^{\dfrac{1}{3}} {\cdot} 4^{\dfrac{1}{5}}=4^{\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{5}}\\\\=4^{\dfrac{5+3}{15}}\\\\=4^{\dfrac{8}{15}}[/tex]
So, the value of [tex]4^{\dfrac{1}{3}} {\cdot} 4^{\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] is [tex]4^{\dfrac{8}{15}}[/tex] .
Luke owns a trucking company. For every truck that goes out, Luke must pay the driver $17 per hour of driving and also has an expense of $1.75 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 40 miles per hour and Luke's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $522. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours the driver worked and the number of miles the truck drove. Define the variables that you use to write the system.
Answer:
17h+1.75m=522 m=40h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h= {the number of hours the driver drove}
Let m= the number of miles driven
The driver makes $17 for each hour working, so if the driver worked for hh hours, Luke would have to pay him 17h17h dollars. The cost of gas and maintenance is $1.75 per mile, so for mm miles Luke's costs would be 1.75m1.75m dollars. The total cost of the route 17h+1.75m17h+1.75m equals \$522:$522:
17h+1.75m=522
17h+1.75m=522
Since the driver drove an avearge of 40 miles per hour, if the driver drove hour, he would have driven 40 miles, and if the driver drove hh hours, he would have driven 40h40h miles, therefore mm equals 40h:40h:
m=40h
m=40h
Write System of Equations:
17h+1.75m= 522
m=40h
The truck is going for a run for 6 hours and the system of the equation to solve a further problem related to this is [tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]
The following are the different costs of the truck that Luke must be pay while running a truck:
Luke must pay the driver $17 per hour of driving.A truck has an expense of $1.75 per mile driven for gas and maintenance.Let ' x ' be the total time of driving a truck in hours.
and ' y ' be the total mile distance that is covered by the truck.
Therefore, the system of the equation for the overall running cost for a truck is given below.
[tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]
Now, On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 40 miles per hour, and Luke's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $522.
Thus,
The total distance traveled by truck is 40x.
That is,
[tex]y=40x[/tex]
Substitute the values and solve them further.
[tex]522=17x+1.75y\\522=17x+1.75 \times 40x\\522=17x+70x\\522=87x\\x=6[/tex]
Thus, the truck is going for a run for 6 hours and the system of the equation to solve the further problems related to this is [tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]

Records indicate that x years after 2008, the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community was T(x) =20x^2+40x+600 dollars.
Required:
a. At what rate was the property tax increasing with respect to time in 2008?
b. By how much did the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012?
Answer:
a) 40 dollars
b) 480 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the average property tax on a three bedroom home in a certain community modelled by the equation T(x) =20x²+40x+600, the rate at which the property tax is increasing with respect to time in 2008 can be derived by solving for the function T'(x) at x=0
T'(x) = 2(20)x¹ + 40x° + 0
T'(x) = 40x+40
At x = 0,
T'(0) = 40(0)+40
T'(0) = 40
Hence the property tax was increasing at a rate of 40dollars with respect to the initial year (2008).
b) There are 4 years between 2008 and 2012. To know how much that the tax change between the years 2008 and 2012, we will find T(4) - T(0)
Given T(x) =20x²+40x+600
T(4) =20(4)²+40(4)+600
T(4) = 320+160+600
T(4) = 1080 dollars
Also T(0) =20(0)²+40(0)+600
T(0) = 0+0+600
T(0)= 600 dollars
T(4) - T(0) = 1080 - 600
T(4) - T(0) = 480 dollars
Hence, the tax has changed by $480 between 2008 and 2012
A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 13 in and period 0.25 seconds. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.)Required:Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.
Answer:
The equation is [tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The amplitude is [tex]A = 13 \ in[/tex]
The period is [tex]T = 0.25[/tex]
Generally the displacement function for a simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = A cos (wt )[/tex]
Here [tex]w[/tex] is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{ 0.25}[/tex]
[tex]w = 8\pi[/tex]
Given that at t = 0 the displacement is equal to 0 it means that there is no phase shift and also we are told that it is initially moving downward which implies that its Amplitude is [tex]A = -13\ in[/tex]
So the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]

Can somebody explain how trigonometric form polar equations are divided/multiplied?
Answer:
Attachment 1 : Option C
Attachment 2 : Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
( 1 ) Expressing the product of z1 and z2 would be as follows,
[tex]14\left[\cos \left(\frac{\pi \:}{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi \:\:}{5}\right)\right]\cdot \:2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{3\pi \:}{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{3\pi \:\:}{2}\right)\right][/tex]
Now to solve such problems, you will need to know what cos(π / 5) is, sin(π / 5) etc. If you don't know their exact value, I would recommend you use a calculator,
cos(π / 5) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}[/tex],
sin(π / 5) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}}{4}[/tex]
cos(3π / 2) = 0,
sin(3π / 2) = - 1
Let's substitute those values in our expression,
[tex]14\left[\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]\cdot \:2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right][/tex]
And now simplify the expression,
[tex]14\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}+i\left(-7\sqrt{10}-7\sqrt{2}\right)[/tex]
The exact value of [tex]14\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}[/tex] = [tex]23.27510\dots[/tex] and [tex](-7\sqrt{10}-7\sqrt{2}\right))[/tex] = [tex]-32.03543\dots[/tex] Therefore we have the expression [tex]23.27510 - 32.03543i[/tex], which is close to option c. As you can see they approximated the solution.
( 2 ) Here we will apply the following trivial identities,
cos(π / 3) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex],
sin(π / 3) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex],
cos(- π / 6) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex],
sin(- π / 6) = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Substitute into the following expression, representing the quotient of the given values of z1 and z2,
[tex]15\left[cos\left(\frac{\pi \:}{3}\right)+isin\left(\frac{\pi \:\:}{3}\right)\right] \div \:3\sqrt{2}\left[cos\left(\frac{-\pi \:}{6}\right)+isin\left(\frac{-\pi \:\:}{6}\right)\right][/tex] ⇒
[tex]15\left[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]\div \:3\sqrt{2}\left[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+-\frac{1}{2}\right][/tex]
The simplified expression will be the following,
[tex]i\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] or in other words [tex]\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}i[/tex] or [tex]\frac{5i\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]
The solution will be option a, as you can see.

y - 1 = -2(x - 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope. Two sets of coordinates are (-3, 3), and (-2, 1).
(3 - 1) / (-3 - -2) = 2 / (-3 + 2) = 2 / (-1) = -2.
The line will be parallel to the given line, so the slope is the same.
Now that we have a point and the slope, we can construct an equation in point-slope form.
y1 = 1, x1 = 4, and m = -2.
y - 1 = -2(x - 4).
Hope this helps!
The slope of the line passing parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1) is y = -2x + 9
The equation of a straight line is given by:
y = mx + b
where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
The slope of the line passing through the points (-3,3) and (-2,1) is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\m=\frac{1-3}{-2-(-3)} \\\\m=-2[/tex]
Since both lines are parallel, hence they have the same slope (-2). The line passes through (4,1). The equation is:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=-2(x-4)\\\\y=-2x+9[/tex]

-3(-4x+4)=15+3x
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
● -3 (-4x+4) = 15 + 3x
Multiply -3 by (-4x+4) first
● (-3) × (-4x) + (-3)×(4) = 15 + 3x
● 12 x - 12 = 15 +3x
Add 12 to both sides
● 12x - 12 + 12 = 15 + 3x +12
● 12 x = 27 + 3x
Substract 3x from both sides
● 12x -3x = 27 + 3x - 3x
● 9x = 27
Dividr both sides by 9
● 9x/9 = 27/9
● x = 3
) A random sample of size 36 is selected from a normally distributed population with a mean of 16 and a standard deviation of 3. What is the probability that the sample mean is somewhere between 15.8 and 16.2
Answer:
The probability is 0.31084
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate this probability using the z-score route.
Mathematically;
z = (x-mean)/SD/√n
Where the mean = 16, SD = 3 and n = 36
For 15.8, we have;
z = (15.8-16)/3/√36 = -0.2/3/6 = -0.2/0.5 = -0.4
For 16.2, we have
z = (16.2-16)/3/√36 = 0.2/3/6 = 0.2/0.5 = 0.4
So the probability we want to calculate is;
P(-0.4<z<0.4)
We can get this using the standard normal distribution table;
So we have;
P(-0.4 <z<0.4) = P(z<-0.4) - P(z<0.4)
= 0.31084
