Answer:

Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total employment for sheet metal workers in 2016 is projected to be = 201,000

This is a 6.3% increase from 2006.

Let the number of workers in 2006 be n

n + (6.3% of n) = 201,000

n + ( 0.063n) = 201,000

1.063n = 201,000

n = \frac{201,000}{1.063}

n = 189,087. 4882 ≈ 189,000

the total employment in 2006 was approximately 189,000

Option d is the answer.

Which sentence can represent the inequality One-half x + three-fourths greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

  The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter

Step-by-step explanation:

It's all about making sense of an English sentence.

  "half the sum ..." is different from "the sum of half ..."

And ...

  "at least" and "not less than" mean the same (≥)

  "not more than" and "at most" mean the same (≤)

_____

Since all of the expressions are written out in words, it is a matter of matching the ideas expressed. That's a problem in reading comprehension, not math.

__

"One-half x + three-fourths [is] greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth"

  means the same as ...

"The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter"

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$-748.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Net proceeds = Total cost of selling the stock - Total cost of purchasing the stock

Total cost of purchasing the stock = $7000 + ($7000 x 0.015) = $7105

Total cost of selling the stock = $6,325 + ($6,325 x 0.005) = $6356.63

Net proceeds = $6356.63 - $7105 = $-748.38

Which is the equation of a parabola with vertex (0, 0), that opens to the left and has a focal width of 12?
sattari [20]

Answer:

\text{Equation of parabola is }y^2=-12x

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of parabola using given information

  • Vertex: (0,0)
  • Open to the left
  • Focal width = 12

If parabola open left and passes through origin then equation is

y^2=-4ax

Focal width = 12

Focal width passes through focus and focus is mid point of focal width.

Focus of above parabola would be (-a,0)

Passing point on parabola (-a,6) and (-a,-6)

Now we put passing point into equation and solve for a

6^2=-4a(-a)

a=\pm 3

a can't be negative.

Therefore, a=3

Focus: (-3,0)

Equation of parabola:

y^2=-12x

Please see the attachment of parabola.

\text{Thus, Equation of parabola is }y^2=-12x
