If the price of a gallon of gas increases from $3.20 to $3.68, what percent did it increase?

Answer:

Hi! The answer I got was: 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Very useful equation for percentage increase is:

((New Number - Old Number) / Old Number )*100 = Percentage Increase

2. (3.68 -3.20)/3.20 =0.15

3. 0.15*100= 15%

Hope this helps!

Brody is purchasing some tools for his workshop. He has a budget of $120 and needs to buy at least 14 tools. Each hammer costs $
STatiana [176]

Answer:

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:

x: number of hammers

y: number of wrenches

We write the system of inequations:

10x + 6y <= 120

x + y> = 14

(b) For those values of k, verify that every member of the family of functions y = A sin(kt) + B cos(kt) is also a solution. y =
frutty [35]

Answer:

Check attachment for complete question

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y=Coskt

We are looking for value of k, that satisfies 4y''=-25y

Let find y' and y''

y=Coskt

y'=-kSinkt

y''=-k²Coskt

Then, applying this 4y'"=-25y

4(-k²Coskt)=-25Coskt

-4k²Coskt=-25Coskt

Divide through by Coskt and we assume Coskt is not equal to zero

-4k²=-25

k²=-25/-4

k²=25/4

Then, k=√(25/4)

k= ± 5/2

b. Let assume we want to use this

y=ASinkt+BCoskt

Since k= ± 5/2

y=A•Sin(±5/2t)+ B •Cos(±5/2t)

y'=±5/2ACos(±5/2t)-±5/2BSin(±5/2t)

y''=-25/4ASin(±5/2t)-25/4BCos(±5/2t

Then, inserting this to our equation given to check if it a solution to y=ASinkt+BCoskt

4y''=-25y

For 4y''

4(-25/4ASin(±5/2t)-25/4BCos(±5/2t))

-25A•Sin(±5/2t)-25B•Cos(±5/2t).

Then,

-25y

-25(A•Sin(±5/2t)+ B •Cos(±5/2t))

-25A•Sin(±5/2t) - 25B •Cos(±5/2t)

Then, we notice that, 4y'' is equal to -25y, then we can say that y=Coskt is a solution to y=ASinkt+BCoskt

Felecia left her home to visit her daughter, driving 45mph. Her husband waited for the dog sitter to arrive and left home 20 min
Jet001 [13]

Felecia's husband will catch up to her 1 hour 30 minutes after leaving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Felecia is traveling at 45 mph, her husband starts 20 minutes after her but travels at a speed of 55 mph. So first we need to calculate how much of a head start Felecia got.

Head start = \frac{1}{3} × 45 miles an hour = 15 miles.

So Felecia got a head start of 15 miles.

Step 2; Since Felecia and her husband are traveling at different rates, we can determine how much distance there is between them. Since Felecia is traveling at 45 mph and her husband is traveling at 55 mph, their gap in between is closing at a rate of 55 - 45 = 10 miles every hour. So for every hour, the gap between them is closing by 10 miles.

Total gap initially = 15 miles.

The rate at which gap is being closed = 10 miles an hour.

Time to close the gap = 15 / 10 = 1.5 hours.

10.5x = 7.5x + 30
10.5x - 7.5x = 30

10.5(10) = 105
7.5(10) + 30 = 75 + 30 = 105

they need to purchase 10 t-shirts from each company for a total of $105 for each company

The ceiling of Katie’s living room is a square that is 10 ft long on each side. Katie knows the diagonal of the ceiling from cor
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Answer: 14 feet. a. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the sides of a right angle. By plugging in the sides of the wall, and solving for c, you can find the answer. 10^2 + 10^2 = c^2

| 100 + 100 = c^2 | 200 = c^2 | c = sqrt 200 | c = 14. The other way to solve this would be using the trig functions. You know that the angle between the hypotenuse and the wall side is 45 degrees, so you can use Sine to determine the hypotenuse. Sine is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. Sin (45) = 10/h | Sin (45) * h = 10 | h = 10/Sin (45) | h = 14. Both of the methods result in 14.
