divide the total tax by the rate

8.75% = 0.0875

4.59/.0875 = 52.457 round to 52.46

What is the zero in the quadratic function f(x)= 9x^2-54x-19?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

6.33... and 0.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is

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

It is important because while some quadratics are factorable and can be solved not all are. The formula will solve all quadratic equations and can also give both real and imaginary solutions. Using the formula will require less work than finding the factors if factorable. We will substitute a=9, b=-54 and c=-19.

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-54)+/-\sqrt{(-54)^2-4(9)(-19)} }{2(9)}\\x=\frac{54+/-\sqrt{2916+684} }{18}$

We will now solve for the plus and the minus.

The plus,,,

$x=\frac{54+\sqrt{3600}}{18}\\x=\frac{54+60}{18}\\x=\frac{114}{18}\\x=6.3$

and the minus...

$x=\frac{54-\sqrt{3600}}{18}\\x=\frac{54-60}{18}\\x=\frac{-6}{18}\\x=-0.333...$

The area of a trapezoid is 864 cm2. It has a height of 24 cm, and the length

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium = 1/2 × h (a+b) = 864 cm^2

where h is the height and a and b are the two parallel sides

h = 24 cm

a = 30 cm

b = ?

1/2 × 24 ( 30 + b ) = 864

12 ( 30 + b ) = 864

30 + b = 864/12

30 + b = 72

b = 72 - 30

b = 42

Therefore the lenght of other base = 42 cm

Plz mark it as brainliest !!!!!!!!!!

Korey starts a small carwash business to save up some cash. He decides to offer two different price packages to his clients. Pac

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Package A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The reason that package A is a better deal is beacause it goes down by a fixed rate, not by a percentage. If you get 15 carwashes, you will pay nothing for the 15th, but even if you washed your car 100 times with Package B, you would still pay something!

Have a great day!

Alice has a 4-inch by 5-inch photo of your school’s championship girls’ ice hockey team. To celebrate their recent

Pachacha [2.7K]

Alice should pick the enlarged-photo with dimensions of 8-inch by 10-inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In order for a part of the photo to not be cut off, the enlarged photo's dimensions should be of a constant ratio with the original photo's dimensions.

We divide the dimensions of the enlarged-photo with the dimensions of the original photo to check which has a constant ratio.

Step 2:

The original photo was a 4-inch by 5-inch photo.

Option 1 is 7-inch by 9-inch, so the ratios are

$\frac{7}{4} = 1.75, \frac{9}{5} = 1.8.$ The ratios are different so this cannot be the enlarged photo's dimensions.

Option 2 is 8-inch by 10-inch, so the ratios are

$\frac{8}{4} = 2, \frac{10}{5} = 2.$ The ratios are the same so this can be the enlarged photo's dimensions.

Option 3 is 12-inch by 16-inch, so the ratios are

$\frac{12}{4} = 3, \frac{16}{5} = 3.2.$ The ratios are different so this cannot be the enlarged photo's dimensions.

So the enlarged-photo with dimensions of 8-inch by 10-inch should be picked.
