Since apples lose 75% of their weight, that means 150 lbs = 25% of fresh apples. 25% = 1/4, so the equation is 150/(1/4) = 150*4 = 600 lbs

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$229673.215

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The price of attending Big Benefits University is $42,000 a year, including tuition, fees, books, and foregone earnings

To Find : what is the marginal cost of attending, if it takes you 5 years to graduate, and you assume a 3% annual inflation rate?

Solution:

Principal = $42000

Time = 5 years

Rate = 3% = 0.03

Formula : A=P(1+r)^t

A_1=42000(1+0.03)^1

A_1=43260

A_2=42000(1+0.03)^2

A_2=44557.8                  

A_3=42000(1+0.03)^3

A_3=45894.534                

A_4=42000(1+0.03)^4

A_4=47271.370                

A_5=42000(1+0.03)^4

A_5=48689.511            

So , Marginal cost = 43260+44557.8+45894.534+47271.370+48689.511

Marginal cost = $229673.215

Hence the marginal cost of attending, if it takes you 5 years to graduate, and you assume a 3% annual inflation rate is  $229673.215

The center of a hyperbola is located at (0, 0). One focus is located at (0, 5) and its associated directrix is represented by th
Lady bird [3.3K]
For a hyperbola   \dfrac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\dfrac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1
where   a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}
the directrix is the line   y=\dfrac{a^{2}}{c}
and the focus is at (0, c).

Here, we have c = 5, a² = 9, so b² = 5² - 9 = 16.
  a = √9 = 3
  b = √16 = 4

Your hyperbola's constants are ...
  a = 3
  b = 4


______
Please note that the equation of a hyperbola has a negative sign for one of the terms. The equation given in your problem statement is that of an ellipse.

Which equation accurately represents this statement? Select three options.
atroni [7]

Complete question:

Which equation accurately represents this statement? Check all that apply.

Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8

A: -3-4.9x=12.8

B: 4.9x-(-3)=12.8

C: 3+4.9x=12.8

D: (4.9-3)x=12.8

E:  12.8=4.9x+3

Answer:

B: 4.9x-(-3)=12.8

C: 3+4.9x=12.8

E:  12.8=4.9x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The word equation can be expressed mathematically as follows

negative 3  → -3

less than 4.9 times a number , x →  4.9 x - (-3)

is same as 12.8  → 4.9 x - (-3) = 12.8

The equation can be expressed as

4.9 x - (-3) = 12.8

when you open the bracket, you multiply  -3 time  - 1 . MInus times minus is equals to plus. so you get

4.9 x + 3 = 12.8

12.8 = 4.9x+3
