Answer:

C. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attached diagram and complete question:

Two percent of the jazz records sold in April were from a new label. About how many records were from the new label?

A. 80

B. 800

C. 40

D. 400

We can see from our attached diagram that approximately $1850$ records were sold in April.

To find the number of new label records, we need to find 2% of 1850 as:

$\text{Number of new label records}=1850\times \frac{2}{100}$

$\text{Number of new label records}=1850\times 0.02$

$\text{Number of new label records}=37$

Upon rounding our answer to nearest tens, we will get:

$\text{Number of new label records}\approx 40$

Therefore, approximately 40 records were from the new label and option C is the correct choice.

A carnival has two payment options. Plan A, you pay $10 admission plus $3 for each ride. Plan B, you pay a $20 admission plus $1

stiks02 [169]

<span>Let x = # of rides

Plan A: 10 + 3x

Plan B: 20 + x

if x < 5 rides then plan A is better buy
if x = 5 both plans are the same
if x > 5 then plan B is the best buy

Prove:
x = 6 (rides)

plan A: </span>10 + 3x = 10 + 3(6) = 10+18 = $28
plan B: 20 + x = 20 + 6 = $26

Corinne and Aretha are having a 26-mile race. Corinne gave Aretha a head start by letting her begin 3.5 miles in front of the st

Ronch [10]

From the table, the speed of Corinne is given by

$speed=slope= \frac{2.5-1.25}{20-10} = \frac{1.25}{10} =0.125 \ miles / minute$

From the graph, the speed of Aretha is given by

$speed=slope= \frac{5.5-4.5}{20-10} = \frac{1}{10} =0.1 \ miles / minute$

The distance from the starting point of Corinne at any time t is given by D = 0.125t while the distance from the starting point of Aretha at any time t is given by D = 3.5 + 0.1t

Let t be the number of minutes after the start of the race when Corinne catchs Aretha, then

0.125t = 3.5 + 0.1t
0.025t = 3.5
t = 3.5 / 0.025 = 140

Therefore, the number of <span>minutes after the start of the race that Corinne will catch Aretha</span> is 140 minutes.

Because you are working a late shift, you will get an increase in your wage. You will get and additional 10% per hour from 6:00p

siniylev [52]

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW:

Supervisor: "Because you are working a late shift, you will get an increase in your wage. You will get an additional 10% per hour from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM and additional 15% from 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM." Employee: "I am working from 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, I will make $12.00 per hour. Between 6:00 PM and 12:00 AM, I will make __________ per hour

Answer:

I will make $13.2 per hour

Explanation:

It can be deducted from the question that that the money Employee gets money for Working from 2.00 PM to 6.00 PM = $12per hour

Also the Employee gets additional 10% of money for working from 6.00 PM to 12.00 AM which implies that

10% = (10/100)*$12per hour

=$1.2per hour

Again, Employee gets additional 15% of the money for working from 12.00 AM to 01.00 AM which can be calculated as:

15% = (15/100)*$12per hour

=$1.8 per hour

which means that Employee gets additional $1.8 per hour

of the money for working from 12.00 AM to 01.00 AM

Therefore, if Employee works from 2.00 PM to 12.00 AM,

Employee will gets money for Working from 2.00 PM to 6.00 PM as well as the 10\% extra wage which

= $12 + $1.2 = $13.2

= \$ 12 + \$ 1.2 = \$ 13.2

Which graph represents the function f(x)=x4+4x3−12x2−32x+64?

sp2606 [1]

$f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64$

The degree of f(x) is 4. Also the leading coefficient is 1 and it is positive

So as x approaches infinity then y approaches infinity

as x approaches -infinity then y approaches infinity

The first and fourth graph goes up and it satisfies the above . so we ignore the second and third graph.

Now we check the x intercepts of the first graph

x intercepts of first graph is -4 and 2

Plug in -4 for x in f(x) and check whether we get 0

$f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64$

$f(x)=(-4)^4+4(-4)^3-12(-4)^2-32(-4)+64=0$

Now plug in 2 for x and check

$f(x)=(2)^4+4(2)^3-12(2)^2-32(2)+64=0$

So -4 and 2 are the x intercepts that satisfies f(x)

Hence first option is the graph of $f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64$
