Answer:

Percentage change in price = 13.80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Original price = £57.99

Decreased price = £49.99

Difference = Original price - Decreased price

Difference = 57.99 - 49.99

Difference = £8.00

Percent change = $\frac{Difference}{Original\ price}100$

Percent change = $\frac{8.00}{57.99}*100$

Percent change in price = 13.80%

Hence,

Percentage change = 13.80%

A portion of a hiking trail slopes upward at about a 6 angle. To the nearest tenth of a foot, what is the value of x, the distan

Firdavs [7]

The distance covered by the hiker if he traveled a horizontal distance of 120 ft at and angle of 6° will be given by:
cos θ=adjacent/hypotenuse
let the hypotenuse be h, adjacent =120 ft, θ=6°, thus plugging in the values we shall have:
cos 6=120/h
h=120/cos 6
h=120.661 ft
Answer: 120.661 ft

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = 1 + sec

masha68 [24]

Using the washer method, the volume is given by the integral

$\displaystyle\pi\int_{-\pi/3}^{\pi/3}\bigg((3-1)^2-((1+\sec x)-1)^2\bigg)\,\mathrm dx=2\pi\int_0^{\pi/3}(4-\sec^2x)\,\mathrm dx$

where 3 - 1 = 2 is the distance from y = 3 to the axis of revolution, and similarly (1 + sec(x)) - 1 = sec(x) is the distance from y = 1 + sec(x) to the axis. The integrand is symmetric about x = 0, so the integral "folds" in on itself, and the integral from -π/3 to π/3 is twice the integral from 0 to π/3.

So the volume is

$\displaystyle2\pi\int_0^{\pi/3}(4-\sec^2x)\,\mathrm dx=2\pi(4x-\tan x)\bigg|_0^{\pi/3}=\boxed{\dfrac{8\pi^2}3-2\pi\sqrt3}$

An excavating company charges $300 an hour for the use of a backhoe and $500 an hour for the use of a bulldozer. (part of an hou

Fed [463]

We have that

Cost use of a backhoe----------------------$300 an hour

Estimate for equipment rental each week---------------------$18,400

Total hours operator per week--------------------------------------40

40*300=$12000---------------------it is the cost per week to use a backhoe

$12000<$18400 is ok

The maximum of hours that I can rent a backhoe are 40 hours, since it is the limit of the operator and it do not overcome the total budget

The angle measurement in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The value of x=9° and ∠B=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

From angles relationship, ∠A =∠B=corresponding angles

5x-5°=3x+13°

5x-3x=13°+5°

2x=18°

x=18/2 =9°

∠B=3x+13°= 3×9°+13° = 27° +13° =40°
