Answer: $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula for percentage increase I (given as a decimal) of an investment is I=\dfrac{S-P}{P}, where P is the purchase price and S is the sale price.

If Price of stock S= $75 and the percentage increase of 25% i.e. I=0.25.

Then, to find P , we substitute the values of S and I in the given equation, we get

0.25=\dfrac{75-P}{P}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25P=75-P\\\\\Rightarrow\ P+0.25P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ (1.25)P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{75}{1.25}=60

Hence, the purchase price of the stock was $60.

Marcie wants to enclose her yard with a fence. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle attached to a triangle. The formula for t
nydimaria [60]

Let

l------> the length side of the rectangle

w----> the width side of a rectangle

b----> the base of the triangle

h----> the height of the triangle

we know that

the area of the yard is equal to

A=lw+0.5bh

Solve for b------> ( that means clear variable b)

Subtract lw both sides

A-lw=lw+0.5bh-lw

A-lw=0.5bh

Divide by 0.5h both sides

(A-lw)/(0.5h)=0.5bh/(0.5h)

b=(A-lw)/(0.5h)

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

The quantity A minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times h

Which best describes the transformation that occurs from the graph of f(x) = x2 to g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 3?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A. right 2, up 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The function f(x) = x^2 is transformed to g(x) =(x- 2)^2+3.

We see that,

The function f(x) is translated 2 units to the right and 3 units upwards to obtain the function g(x).

So, the correct transformation is 'right 2, up 3'.

Hence, option A is correct.

Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and t
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

To determine the number of real number solutions of as system of equations in which one equation is linear and the other is quadratic

1) Given that there are two variables, x and y as an example, we make y the subject of the equation of the linear equation and substitute the the expression for y in x into the quadratic equation

We simplify and check the number of real roots with the quadratic formula, x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a} for quadratic equations  the form 0 = a·x² - b·x + c

Where b² > 4·a·c there are two possible solutions and when b² = 4·a·c equation there is only one solution.

Events M and N are independent events. In this scenario, if P(M) = 0.46 and P(M and N) = 0.138, then P(N) = .
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

P(N)=0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(M)= 0.46, P(M and N)=0.138

Using P(M) ×P(N)= P(M and N)

⇒0.46×P(N)= 0.138

⇒P(N)= \frac{0.138}{0.46}

⇒P(N)=0.3
