Answer:

$\$6,082.70$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the depreciated value is equal to

$V=P(1-r)^{x}$

where

V is the depreciated value

P is the original value

r is the rate of depreciation in decimal

x is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$P=\$15,300\\r=14.25\%=0.1425\\x=6\ years$

substitute in the formula

$V=15,300(1-0.1425)^{6}$

$V=15,300(0.8575)^{6}$

$V=\$6,082.70$

A right triangle has legs of length 4x and 20x. What is an expression for the hypotenuse of the right triangle

kherson [118]

Answer:

$4x\sqrt{26}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

$Leg_1=4x$

$Leg_2=20x$

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

$(hypotenuse)^2=(Leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2$

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(hypotenuse)^2=(4x)^2+(20x)^2$

$(hypotenuse)^2=16x^2+400x^2$

$(hypotenuse)^2=416x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$hypotenuse=\sqrt{416x^2}$

$hypotenuse=4x\sqrt{26}$

Hence, the expression of the hypotenuse is $4x\sqrt{26}$ .

A company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Suppose each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. If

jekas [21]

We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ , where r represents radius of sphere.

We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be $\frac{15}{2}=7.5$ cm.

$\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot (7.5\text{ cm})^3$

$\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot 421.875\text{ cm}^3$

$\text{Volume of one candle}=1766.25\text{ cm}^3$

Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.

$\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650\text{ cm}^3}{1766.25\text{ cm}^3}$

$\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650}{1766.25}$

$\text{Number of candles}=40$

Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

Nikki and Jonathan both solve this system of equations: y=−2.7x+3.2 y = - 2 . 7 x + 3 . 2 y=1.3x+1.6 y = 1 . 3 x + 1 . 6 Jonatha

N76 [4]

We have two equations that were solved by Nikki and Jonathon:

y=−2.7x+3.2
y=1.3x+1.6

Equating the above two:

⇒ 1.3x + 1.6 = -2.7x + 3.2

⇒ 4x = 1.6

⇒ x = 0.4

Hence, substituting the value of x in one of the equations we get:

y = 1.3×0.4 + 1.6 = 2.12

So the solution is (0.4, 2.12)

Jonathon's solution was (0.4, 2.12) and Nikki's was (2.25, 0.5). Hence Jonathon gave the correct solution.

Tom sells baseball cards at 10 for 35 cents. Is that better deal than 12 for 40 cents? Prove your thinking

Aleks [24]

Answer:

12 for 40 cents is a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation: 35divided by 10 is 3.5 and 12 divided by 40 is 3.333... therefore for just one card it is cheaper but you are getting more cards anyways.
