Answer:

a. Sale Price $=\$168.75$

b. Total percent discount $=32.5\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

First Discount:

Initial Price $=\$250$

Discount $=25\%$

$25\%\ of\ 250=\frac{25}{100}\times 250=62.5\\\\Now\ Price=250-62.5=$187.5$

Second Discount:

$Price=187.5\\\\Discount=10\%\\\\10\%\ of\ 187.5=\frac{10}{100}\times 187.5=18.75\\\\Now\ Sale\ Price=187.5-18.75=\$168.75$

Effective Discount:

Initial Price $=\$250$

Final Price $=\$168.75$

Total discount $=250-168.75=81.25$

$\%\ discount=\frac{81.25}{250}\times 100=32.5\%$

A weather balloon has a volume of 90.0 L when it is released from sea level 101 kPa. What is the atmospheric pressure on the bal

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<em><u>The final atmospheric pressure is 5.19 · 10⁴ Pa</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the temperature of the air does not change, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In formula,

pV = const.

where p is the gas pressure and V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p₁ V₁ = p₂ V₂

where in our problem we have:

p₁ = 1.03 · 10₅ Pa is the initial pressure (the atmospheric pressure at sea level)

V₁ = 90.0L is the initial volume

p₂ is the final pressure

V₂ = 175.0L is the final volume

Solving the equation for p2, we find the final pressure:

p₂ = p₁ v₁ divided by V₂ = (1.01 · 10⁵)(90.0) divided by 175.0 = 5.19 · 10⁴ Pa

If AD and BD are bisectors of CAB and CBA respectively. Find the sum of angles x and y.

olchik [2.2K]

The picture in the attached figure

step 1
we know that
It is given that AD and BD are bisectors of ∠CAB and ∠CBA respectively.
Therefore,
x = ∠CAB/2 -----> equation 1
y = ∠CBA/2 -----> equation 2

step 2
In triangle ABC,
∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ACB = 180° ----> [The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°]
∠CAB + ∠CBA + 110° = 180°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 180° - 110°
∠CAB + ∠CBA = 70° ------> divide by 2 both sides
∠CAB/2 + ∠CBA/2 = 70/2 -------> equation 3
substitute equation 1 and equation 2 in equation 3
x+y=35

hence

the answer is
x+y =35°
⇒ x + y = 35° ...[From equation (1) and (2)]

An exponential function and a quadratic function are graphed below. Which of the following is true of the growth rate of the fun

aleksley [76]

Given an exponential function, say f(x), such that f(0) = 1 and f(1) = 2 and a quadratic finction, say g(x), such that g(0) = 0 and g(1) = 1.

The rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval
$a \leq x \leq b$
is given by
$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Thus, the rate of change (growth rate) of the exponential function, f(x) over the interval
$0 \leq x \leq 1$
is given by
$\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0} = \frac{2-1}{1} =1$

Similarly, the rate of change (growth rate) of the quadratic function, g(x) over the interval
$0 \leq x \leq 1$
is given by
$\frac{g(1)-g(0)}{1-0} = \frac{1-0}{1} =1$

Therefore, the exponential grows at the same rate as the quadratic in the interval <span> $0 \leq x \leq 1$ .</span>

N(17+x)=34x−r<br> I need to solve for x

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The value of x is, $x= \frac{17N+r}{34-N}$

Explanation:

Given: $N(17+x)=34x-r$

Distributive Property states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately.

If $a\cdot(b+c) =a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

Now, using distributive property on left hand side of the given expression as:

$N\cdot 17+N\cdot x = 34x-r$ or $17N+Nx = 34x-r$

Addition Property of equality state that we add the same number from both sides of an equation.

Add r to both sides of an equation:

$17N+Nx+r=34x-r+r$

Simplify:

$17N+Nx+r=34x$

Subtraction Property of equality state that we subtract the same number from both sides of an equation.

Subtract Nx from both sides of an equation;

$17N+Nx+r-Nx=34x-Nx$

Simplify:

$17N+r=34x-Nx$

or

$17N+r=x(34-N)$

Division Property of equality states that we divide the same number from both sides of an equation.

Divide by (34-N) to both sides of an equation;

$\frac{17N+r}{34-N}= \frac{x(34-N)}{34-N}$

On Simplify:

$x= \frac{17N+r}{34-N}$
