Answer:

  x = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can only solve for x if the triangles are similar. The arrows on the left and right legs say those are parallel. Since alternate interior angles at each of the transversals are congruent, the triangles are AA similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔDEC, so we have ...

The PERCENTAGE ANNUAL RATE is 9.0% to the nearest tenth using the SIMPLE INTEREST FORMULA

The question is related to a SIMPLE INTEREST problem:

Loan period = 60 days

using 365 days a year ;

converting to years , 60 days = (60 / 365) years

interest on loan = 73.97

principal = 5000

Using the formula:

interest = (principal * rate * time)

73.79 = (5000 * rate * (60/365)

Rate = 73.79/(5000 * (60/365)) =8.977%

rate = 9%

Therefore, PERCENTAGE ANNUAL RATE is 9.0%

Answer:

x = 5 and -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the intersecting chord theorem which states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

Hence:

let

a = 6, b = 5, c = x+1 and d = x

Therefore, ab = cd

6*5 = x(x+1)

30 = x²+x

x²+x - 30 = 0

x²+ 6x - 5x - 30 = 0

x(x+6) - 5(x+6) =0

(x-5)(x+6) = 0

x-5 =0 and x+6 = 0

x = 5 and -6

Answer:

Our two intersection points are:

[tex]\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find where the two graphs given by the equations:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 = 16\text{ and } 3x+4y=1[/tex]

Intersect.

When they intersect, their x- and y-values are equivalent. So, we can solve one equation for y and substitute it into the other and solve for x.

Since the linear equation is easier to solve, solve it for y:

[tex]\displaystyle y = -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Substitute this into the first equation:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(\left(-\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\right) +2\right)^2 = 16[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(-\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{4}\right)^2 = 16[/tex]

Square. We can use the perfect square trinomial pattern:

[tex]\displaystyle \underbrace{(x^2 + 2x+1)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} + \underbrace{\left(\frac{9}{16}x^2-\frac{27}{8}x+\frac{81}{16}\right)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} = 16[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 16:

[tex](16x^2+32x+16)+(9x^2-54x+81) = 256[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]25x^2+-22x+97=256[/tex]

Isolate the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle 25x^2 - 22x -159=0[/tex]

We can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 25, b = -22, and c = -159. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-(-22)\pm\sqrt{(-22)^2-4(25)(-159)}}{2(25)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x &= \frac{22\pm\sqrt{16384}}{50} \\ \\ &= \frac{22\pm 128}{50}\\ \\ &=\frac{11\pm 64}{25}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x_1 = \frac{11+64}{25} = 3\text{ and } x_2 = \frac{11-64}{25} =-\frac{53}{25}[/tex]

We have our two x-coordinates.

To find the y-coordinates, we can simply substitute it into the linear equation and evaluate. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle y_1 = -\frac{3}{4}(3)+\frac{1}{4} = -2[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle y _2 = -\frac{3}{4}\left(-\frac{53}{25}\right) +\frac{1}{4} = \frac{46}{25}[/tex]

Thus, our two intersection points are:

[tex]\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the price as a function of sold units as a linear relationship.

Remember that a linear relationship is something like:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this line, we have the point (40, $110)

which means that to sell 40 units, the price must be $110

And we know that if the price increases by $11, then he will sell 2 units less.

Then we also have the point (38, $121)

So we know that our line passes through the points (40, $110) and  (38, $121)

Then the slope of the line is:

a = ($121 - $110)/(38 - 40) = $11/-2 = -$5.5

Then the equation of the line is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + b

to find the value of b, we can use the point (40, $110)

This means that when x = 40, the price is $110

then:

p(40) = $110 = -$5.5*40 + b

            $110 = -$220 + b

       $110 + $220 = b

        $330 = b

Then the price equation is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + $330

Now we want to find the maximum revenue.

The revenue for selling x items, each at the price p(x), is:

revenue = x*p(x)

replacing the p(x) by the equation we get:

revenue = x*(-$5.5*x + $330)

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

Now we want to find the x-value for the maximum revenue.

You can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. This means that the maximum is at the vertex.

And remember that for a quadratic equation like:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/2a

Then for our equation:

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

the x-vale of the vertex will be:

x = -$330/(2*-$5.5) = 30

x = 30

This means that the revenue is maximized when we sell 30 units.

And the price is p(x) evaluated in x = 30

p(30) = -$5.5*30 + $330 = $165

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 2 + 4x[/tex]

Interpret the y-intercept

The y-intercept is when [tex]x = 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 2 + 4 *0[/tex]

[tex]y = 2 + 0[/tex]

[tex]y = 2[/tex]

This implies that the original or initial height was 2 mm

I think the given series is

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{n^2}{n^3+1}[/tex]

You can use the integral test because the summand is clearly positive and decreasing. Then

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=2}^\infty\frac{n^2}{n^3+1} > \int_2^\infty\frac{x^2}{x^3+1}\,\mathrm dx[/tex]

Substitute u = x ³ + 1 and du = 3x ² dx, so the integral becomes

[tex]\displaystyle \int_2^\infty\frac{x^2}{x^3+1}\,\mathrm dx = \frac13\int_9^\infty\frac{\mathrm du}u = \frac13\ln(u)\bigg|_{u=9}^{u\to\infty}[/tex]

As u approaches infinity, we have ln(u) also approaching infinity (whereas 1/3 ln(9) is finite), so the integral and hence the sum diverges.

Answer:

  (2x -11)(x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle term can be rewritten as a sum using the coefficients of the first and last terms. Then the expression can be factored by pairs of terms.

  2x^2 -13x +11 = 2x^2 -2x -11x +11 = 2x(x -1) -11(x -1)

  = (2x -11)(x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In an arithmetic sequence, the general term can be written as

xₙ = y + d(a-1), where xₐ represents the ath term, y is the first value, and d is the common difference.

Given the third term and the fifth term, and knowing that the difference between each term is d, we can say that the 4th term is x₃+d and the fifth term is the fourth term plus d, or (x₃+d)+d =

x₃+2d. =x₅ Given x₃ and x₅, we can subtract x₃ from both sides to get

x₅-x₃ = 2d

divide by 2 to isolate d

(x₅-x₃)/2 = d

This lets us solve for d. Given d, we can say that

x₃ = y+d(2)

subtract 2*d from both sides to isolate the y

x₃ -2*d = y

Therefore, because we know x₃ and d at this point, we can solve for y, letting us plug y and d into our original equation of

xₙ = y + d(a-1)

2.

Given the third and fifth term, with a common ratio of r, we can say that the fourth term is x₃ * r. Then, the fifth term is

x₃* r * r

= x₃*r² = x₅

divide both sides by x₃ to isolate the r²

x₅/x₃ = r²

square root both sides

√(x₅/x₃) = ±r

One thing that is important to note is that we don't know whether r is positive or negative. For example, if x₃ = 4 and x₅ = 16, regardless of whether r is equal to 2 or -2, 4*r² = 16. I will be assuming that r is positive for this question.

Given the common ratio, we can find x₆ as x₅ * r, x₇ as x₅*r², and all the way up to x₁₀ = x₅*r⁵. We don't know the general term, but can still find the tenth term of the sequence

Answer:

the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day = 0.9374

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean of the truck's speed, (m) = 120 miles per day

standard deviation, d = 23 miles per day

If the mileage per day is normally distributed, we use the following conceptual method to determine the probability of less than 159 miles per day;

1 standard deviation above the mean = m + d, = 120 + 23 = 143

2 standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d, = 120 + 46 = 166

159 is below 2 standard deviation above the mean but greater than 1 standard deviation above the mean.

For normal districution, 1 standard deviation above the mean = 84 percentile

Also, 2 standard deviation above the mean = 98 percentile

143 --------> 84%

159 ---------> x

166 --------- 98%

[tex]\frac{159-143}{166-143} = \frac{x-84}{98-84} \\\\\frac{16}{23} = \frac{x-84}{14} \\\\23(x-84) = 224\\\\x-84 = 9.7391\\\\x = 93.7391\ \%[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day = 0.9374

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a square root function

The hypotenuse will always be the longest side of the triangle. Option C is correct: AB > DC.

AB is the hypotenuse of triangle ABC. Therefore, it is greater than leg AC. AC is the hypotenuse of triangle ACD. If AC is less than AB, then DC must also be less than AB because DC is less than AC.

Answer:

P(​one number is a multiple of 4 and the other is a multiple of 6) = 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Total outcomes:

For the pair of dice:

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)

(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

So 36 total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

One multiple of 4 and one multiple of 6.

2 possible outcomes: (4,6) or (6,4)

Probability:

2 outcomes out of 36, so:

[tex]p = \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18}[/tex]

Then

P(​one number is a multiple of 4 and the other is a multiple of 6) = 1/18

Markdown is the difference (at sale) between the price an item is placed at for retail sale, and the actual price the item is sold

The correct option is; B. GHC 50.00

The reason for choosing option B is as follows;

The known parameters

The percentage by which damaged items are marked down = 25% to 40%

The percentage markdown offered by the newspaper coupon = 10%

The original marked price of the item = GHC 100

Strategy:

Apply the damaged items and coupon markdown percentages to the original marked price of GHC100 sum the results to find the total markdown

Solution:

Markdown due to damage:

Given that the item is damaged, to have the lowest price, we apply the largest markdown of 40%;

40% is removed from the price to which the item marked down due to damage, as follows;

The markdown due to damage = 40/100 × GHC 100 = GHC 40

Markdown due to Coupon Holder:

The markdown the coupon holder is to get = 10% off the retail price

Given that the damage is not mentioned in the newspaper, we have;

∴ The markdown the coupon holder is to get = 10/100 × GHC 100 = GHC 10

Total markdown:

The total markdown is therefore equal to GHC 40 + GHC 10 = GHC 50

The Lowest Price of A Damaged Items marked GHC100:

The lowest price of the item = Original price - Maximum markdown

The lowest price of the item = GHC 100 - GHC 50 = GHC 50

Answer: total cost to be saved is $2600. Her saving pattern is 2, 4, 8,…

a) The pattern of her saving is in geometric sequence. i.e. a=2, r=4/2=2 0r 8/4=2 ( a = First term, r = common ratio) so, expression for amount saved on day (n) = t(n) = ar^(n-1), where: a = first day of saving r = common ration n = number of day

b) Expression that represents the total amount saved by day (n) (including day n) = S = a(r^n-1)/r-1 where: S = sum of amount saved a = first day of saving r = common ration n = number of day

c) To buy the car, she needs at least $2600 which is equal 260000 cents.  S = a(r^n-1)/r-1 = 260000 = 2(2^n-1)/r-1 = 260000/2 = 2^n-1/2-1 = 130000 = 2n^-1 = 130000+1 = 2^n = 130001 = 2^n = n = ln(130001)/ln(2) = n = 16.988

So… for n to satisfy the least value of 130001 cents, n should be at least 17 Therefore it will take at least 17 days for her to save enough money to buy a car

Step-by-step explanation:

It will take her about 17 days to buy the car worth 260000 cents

If a student decides she wants to save money to buy a used car that cost $2600 (260,000 cents)

If she saves 2 cents the first day and doubles the amount thereafter, the sequence of savings will be:
