Answer:

15000 - 750x

Step-by-step explanation:

Holly is trying to save $25, 000 to put a down payment on a condominium. She started with $10,000 and saved an additional $750 each month.

Let

y = dollars

x = number of months

Since she started her savings with $10, 000 her remaining amount to pay will be 25000 - 10000 = $15000 .

The amount will also be reducing by $750 per month

Therefore,

How far she is from her goal can be represented with the equation

15000 - 750x

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 6x2 + 12x – 7?

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is of the form: $ax^2+bx+c= 0$ .....[1] where

a. b and c are coefficient and x is the variable.

The solutions of the equation are;

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Given the function: $f(x) = 6x^2+12x-7$

To find the zero of this function.

Set f(x) = 0

⇒ $6x^2+12x-7=0$

On comparing this with equation [1] we have;

a = 6, b = 12 and c = -7

then;

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{(12)^2-4(6)(-7)}}{2(6)}$

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{144+168}}{12}$

or

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{312}}{12}$

or

$x = \frac{-12\pm 2\sqrt{78}}{12}$

$x = \frac{-6\pm \sqrt{78}}{6}$

Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) are;

$\frac{-6+\sqrt{78}}{6}$ and $\frac{-6-\sqrt{78}}{6}$

What can be concluded about the graphed polygon? mc013-1.jpg The polygon is a rectangle. Adjacent sides of the polygon are perpe

Usimov [2.4K]

From the given graph, the image is a trapezoid.
Therefore,
The first option, "t<span>he polygon is a rectangle" is incorrect.
The second option "</span><span>Adjacent sides of the polygon are perpendicular." cannot be true as well because trapezoid has one the adjacent sides which is not perpendicular.
Third option" </span><span>Opposite sides of the polygon are parallel", this can't be true as well because only two sides are parallel.
Fourth option " </span><span>The slope of side c is 0.", this is true because line c is a horizontal line with zero rise and maximum run. Therefore,
Slope = 0 </span>÷ 9
<span> = 0

a rectangle pyramid fits exactly on top of a rectangular prism. the prism has a length of 18 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a height o

irina1246 [14]

To find the volume of the prism you are going to use the formula V=WxLxH.
When you plug in your numbers you should get V= 18x6x9 which ends up equaling 972.

Now that you have that you need to find the volume of the pyramid using the formula V= L x W x H /3 and when you plug that in it looks like
V= 18 x 6 x 15 /3

Upon simplifying that you get 540.

Now you have the volume of your rectangular prism and your rectangular pyramid add them together and you should get 1512

I recommend drawing it out... it helps a lot:)

A circle fits inside a semicircle of diameter 24mm

patriot [66]

Answer:

The shaded are is $113\ mm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The shaded area is equal to the area of the semicircle minus the area of the circle inside the semicircle

step 1

Find the area of semicircle

The area of semicircle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$

where

$r=24/2=12\ mm$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{2}\pi(12)^{2}=72\pi\ mm^{2}$

step 2

Find the area of the circle inside the semicircle

The area of circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where

$r=12/2=6\ mm$ ---> the radius of circle inside is half the radius of semicircle

substitute

$A=\pi(6)^{2}=36\pi\ mm^{2}$

step 3

Find the shaded area

$72\pi\ mm^{2}-36\pi\ mm^{2}=36\pi\ mm^{2}$

assume

$\pi=3.14$

$36(3.14)=113.04\ mm^{2}$

3 significant figures is

$113\ mm^{2}$
