Answer: Total cost incurred on new laptop is $318.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost price of new laptop = $300

Sales tax = 6%

total cost of laptop including the sales tax is given by

$Cost\times \frac{100+\text{ sales tax}}{100}$

so,

$\text{ Cost price including the sales tax }\\\\=300\times \frac{100+6}{100}\\\\=300\times \frac{106}{100}\\\\=\$318$

So, total cost incurred on new laptop is $318.

Answer:

The vertical angles are ∠ WRS and ∠ VRT ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of the vertical angles

- Vertical angles are the angles opposite to each other when two lines

are intersected

- The vertical angle are equal in measures

- Look to attached figure which represents the lines

∵ Line TW intersects line SV at R

∴ ∠ WRV and ∠ SRT are vertical angle

∴ ∠ WRS and ∠ VRT are vertical angle

∵ RU is between the rays of angle VRW

∴ RU intersects the lines TW and SV at R

∴ No vertical angles between RU and the other two lines because

it intersects them its endpoint R

* Now lets look to the answer to chose the right one

- ∠ WRU and ∠ SRT are not vertical angles

- ∠ WRS and ∠ VRT are vertical angles 

- ∠ VRU and ∠ TRS are not vertical angles

- ∠ VRT and ∠ SRT are not vertical angles

point M with coordinates (3,4) is the midpoint of the line AB and A has the point (-1,6). what is the point of B?

irina [24]

Answer:

B = (7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 2M -A

B = 2(3, 4) -(-1, 6) = (2·3-(-1), 2·4-6)

B = (7, 2)

_____

The expression for the other end point, B, comes from the equation for the midpoint.

M = (A +B)/2

2M = A + B . . . . . multiply by 2

2M -A = B . . . . . . subtract A to get an expression for B

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$
