A. 18.60, because you multiply 18.6 by .05 to get .93, and then subtract .93 from 18.6 to get 17.67.

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the full price of the wallet be represented by = x

Total amount that Nathan paid for the wallet = $17.67

Discount percentage = 5% or 0.05 = 0.05x (5% of full price)

So, equation becomes: full price - discount price = 17.67

$x-0.05x=17.67$

$0.95x=17.67$

x = $18.60

Therefore, the full price of the wallet is $18.60.

We can also check this by taking out 5% of 18.60

$0.05\times18.60=0.93$

And $18.60-0.93=17.67$

So, option A is correct.

three positive numbers are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P). the sum of the squares of the three numbers is 155. while the sum of

Alecsey [184]

Given:
Three numbers in an AP, all positive.
Sum is 21.
Sum of squares is 155.
Common difference is positive.

We do not know what x and y stand for. Will just solve for the three numbers in the AP.
Let m=middle number, then since sum=21, m=21/3=7
Let d=common difference.
Sum of squares
(7-d)^2+7^2+(7+d)^2=155
Expand left-hand side
3*7^2-2d^2=155
d^2=(155-147)/2=4
d=+2 or -2
=+2 (common difference is positive)

Therefore the three numbers of the AP are
{7-2,7,7+2}, or
{5,7,9}

A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters

AveGali [126]

When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace $h$ with 0 in our equation, and solve for $t$ :
$0=43-4t-5t^{2}$
$-5t^{2}-4t+43=0$
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: $t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$ .
From our height equation, we can infer that $a=-5$ , $b=-4$ , and $c=43$ . So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find $t$
$t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}$
$t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}$ or $t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}$
$t=-3.96$ or $t=2.71$
Since time cannot be negative, $t=2.71$ is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.

Photon Lighting Company determines that the supply and demand functions for its most popular lamp are as follows: S(p) = 400 - 4

BlackZzzverrR [31]

S(p) = 400 - 4p + 0.00002p^4
D(p) = 2800 - 0.0012p^3

S(p) = D(p)
400 - 4p + 0.00002p^4 = 2800 - 0.0012p^3
0.00002p^4 + 0.0012p^3 - 4p - 2400 = 0
p = $96.24

Unnithan, Houser, and Fernhall (2006) were interested in whether playing the game Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) met the American

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The conclusion that both groups of overweight and non - overweight got cardiovascular benefit from playing DDR games requires Inferential statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inferential statistics is simply a type of research statistic whereby a generalized conclusion is made about a larger group based on representative observations

Now,in the given question, we see that both group hearts were above the minimum recommended for cardiovascular exercise. Now we can infer that the DDR games played by both groups gave them cardiovascular benefits. This conclusion is an example of Inferential statistics where we generalize about a large population based on observations from a small sample.

Thus the conclusion that both groups of overweight and non-overweight got cardiovascular benefit from playing DDR games requires Inferential statistics.

Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form? Y – 6 = y minus 6 equals St

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Part 1) $y+6=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

Part 2) $y+6=\frac{5}{2}(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point slope form is

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we're going to analyze two cases

<em>First case</em>

$Point\ (-2,-6)$

$slope\ m=\frac{2}{5}$

substitute

$y+6=\frac{2}{5}(x+2)$

therefore

y plus 6 equals StartFraction 2 Over 5 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis

<em>Second case</em>

$Point\ (-2,-6)$

$slope\ m=\frac{5}{2}$

substitute

$y+6=\frac{5}{2}(x+2)$

therefore

y plus 6 equals StartFraction 5 Over 2 EndFraction left-parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis
