Hey You!

26,500.00 × 6% = 1,590

26,500.00 + 725.00 + 1,590 + 50.00 = 28,865.00

Ray's total cost was D. $28.865.00

Explanation:

The taxable amount of the car purchase is the basic car cost and the options which is:


$

10150.00

+

$

738.00

=

$

10888.00


We can find the tax by find what 6% of $10.888.00# is.


"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 6% can be written as

6

100

.


When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".


Finally, lets call the amount of the tax we are looking for "t".


Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for

t

while keeping the equation balanced:


t

=

6

100

×

$

10888.00


t

=

$

65328

100


t

=

$

653.28


Ray's total cost would then be the taxable amount of the car, the tax on this amount and the license and registration fees giving:


$

10888.00

+

$

653.28

+

$

50.00

=

$

11591.28


Ray paid a total of $11,591.28

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply. Please ans
timama [110]
<span>The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 – 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x – 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 – 2x – 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.</span>

Imogen sees a design for a garden in a magazine. She changes the scale because she wants a smaller garden. The figure below show
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Length A of the magazine garden is 28 feet is true.

Length B of the Magazine garden is 17.5 feet is true.

Length C of the Magazine garden is 35 feet is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer the attached figure.

Given:-

Magazine Scale is 1 inch = 3.5 feet.

Imogen's scale is 2 inches = 6 feet,

Therefore Imogen's scale is 1 inch = 3 feet.

In Triangle ABC,

side a = 8 inches, side b= 5 inches, side c= 10 inches.

To find:- The correct 3 options(actual size of sides of triangle  ABC).

Solution:-

In triangle ABC,

Let,

AB=side a =8 inches

BC=side b =5 inches

AC=side c= 10 inches

Now, as per the given scale's of Magazine and Imogen's we can find the actual sizes.

Length A as per Magazine scale (1 inch = 3.5 feet) is,

\therefore Length\ A=8\times 3.5   -------------(as per scale)

\therefore Length A=28\ feet

and Length A as per Imogen's scale(1 inch =3 feet) is,

AB = side a

\therefore Length\ A=8\times 3  -------------(as per scale)

\therefore Length A=24\ feet

Therefore Length A of the magazine garden is 28 feet is true.

Now, Length B as per Magazine scale (1 inch = 3.5 feet) is,

BC = side b

\therefore Length\ B=5\times 3.5

\therefore Length B=17.5\ feet

Length B as per Imogen's scale (1 inch = 3 feet) is,

BC = side b

\therefore Length\ B=5\times 3

\therefore Length B=15\ feet

Therefore Length B of the Magazine garden is 17.5 feet is true.

Now, Length C as per Magazine scale (1 inch = 3.5 feet) is,

AC = side c

\therefore Length\ C=10\times 3.5

\therefore Length C=35\ feet

Length B as per Imogen's scale (1 inch = 3 feet) is,

AC = side c

\therefore Length\ C=10\times 3

\therefore Length B=30\ feet

Therefore Length C of the Magazine garden is 35 feet is true.

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the variable

X: Area that can be painted with a can of spray paint (feet²)

The variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 25 feet² and standard deviation δ= 3 feet²

since the variable has a normal distribution, you have to convert it to standard normal distribution to be able to use the tabulated accumulated probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

First step is to standardize the value of X using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Now that you have the corresponding Z value you can look for it in the table, but since tha table has probabilities of P(Z, you have to do the following conervertion:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

There was a sample of 20 cans taken and you need to calculate the probability of painting on average an area of 540 feet².

The sample mean has the same distribution as the variable it is ariginated from, but it's variability is affected by the sample size, so it has a normal distribution with parameners:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

So the Z you have to use to standardize the value of the sample mean is Z=(X[bar]-μ)/(δ/√n)~N(0;1)

To paint 540 feet² using 20 cans you have to paint around 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No. If the distribution is skewed and not normal, you cannot use the normal distribution to calculate the probabilities. You could use the central limit theorem to approximate the sampling distribution to normal if the sample size was 30 or grater but this is not the case.

I hope it helps!

The equation x2 16 + y2 9 = 1 defines an ellipse, which is graphed above. in this excercise we will approximate the area of this
Citrus2011 [14]
(a) 4 
(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)  
The best guess to the formula using knowledge of the general formula for an ellipse is: 
x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1  
(a). An ellipse is reflectively symmetrical across both the major and minor axis. So if you can get the area of the ellipse in a quadrant, then multiplying that area by 4 would give the total area of the ellipse. So the factor of 4 is correct. 
 (b). The general equation for an ellipse is not suitable for a general function since it returns 2 y values for every x value. But if we restrict ourselves to just the positive value of a square root, that problem is easy to solve. So let's do so:
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0
 x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9
 -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2
 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2
 sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y
 y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)
