First you need to find the amount for each of the items, then total it up:

T-shirts> 9.50 x 2 = 19
Socks> 7.95 x 3 = 23.85
Shoes> 49.95
Total: 19 + 23.85 + 49.95 = $92.80

Next find the tax:

(to find the taxes you multiply the total by the percent)
92.8 x 0.06 = 5.57
-- then add the amount to your item total
92.8 + 5.57 = 98.37

~OR~

You could multiply the item total by 1.06 so that you wouldn't have to add to taxes to the previous total because it is already part of the equation

92.8 x 1.06 = 98.37

Using V = lwh, what is an expression for the volume of the following prism? The dimensions of a prism are shown. The height is S

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

We know that the volume of a prism is defined by:

$V=lwh \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ l:length \\ \\ w:width \\ \\ h:height \\ \\ \\ l=\frac{d-2}{3d-9} \\ \\ w=\frac{4}{d-4} \\ \\ h=\frac{2d-6}{2d-4}$

Substituting values:

$V=\left(\frac{d-2}{3d-9}\right)\left(\frac{4}{d-4}\right)\left(\frac{2d-6}{2d-4}\right) \\ \\ \\ Simplifying: \\ \\ V=\frac{d-2}{3d-9}\cdot \frac{4}{d-4}\cdot \frac{d-3}{d-2} \\ \\ V=\frac{\left(d-2\right)\cdot \:4\left(d-3\right)}{\left(3d-9\right)\left(d-4\right)\left(d-2\right)} \\ \\ V=\frac{4\left(d-3\right)}{\left(3d-9\right)\left(d-4\right)} \\ \\ V=\frac{4\left(d-3\right)}{3\left(d-3\right)\left(d-4\right)}$

$Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{V=\frac{4}{3\left(d-4\right)}}$

Find the area of the part of the plane 5x + 4y + z = 20 that lies in the first octant.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

This part of the plane is a triangle. Call it $\mathcal S$ . We can find the intercepts by setting two variables to 0 simultaneously; we'd find, for instance, that $y=z=0$ means $5x=20\implies x=4$ , so that (4, 0, 0) is one vertex of the triangle. Similarly, we'd find that (0, 5, 0) and (0, 0, 20) are the other two vertices.

Next, we can parameterize the surface by

$\mathbf s(u,v)=\langle4(1-u)(1-v),5u(1-v),20v\rangle$

so that the surface element is

$\mathrm dS=\|\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v\|=20\sqrt{42}(1-v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

Then the area of $\mathcal S$ is given by the surface integral

$\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathrm dS=20\sqrt{42}\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$
$\displaystyle=20\sqrt{42}\int_{v=0}^{v=1}(1-v)\,\mathrm dv=10\sqrt{42}\approx64.8074$
