Answer: C) $8.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ,

Jamaal earns $8.42 per hour.

i.e. Original pay per hour = $8.42

If he gets a 3% raise , then his earning is raised by :

Raised amount= Percent of raise x Originla pay

$= 0.03\times 8.42$ [We convert 3% = 0.03 by dividing it by 100.]

$=\$0.2526\approx\$0.25$ [Rounded to the nearest cent]

Now, the amount he will earn after raise = Original pay +Raised amount

= $8.42+ $0.25= $8.67

Therefore , he will earn $8.67 per hour.

hence, the correct answer is C) $8.67

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 6x2 + 12x – 7?

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is of the form: $ax^2+bx+c= 0$ .....[1] where

a. b and c are coefficient and x is the variable.

The solutions of the equation are;

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Given the function: $f(x) = 6x^2+12x-7$

To find the zero of this function.

Set f(x) = 0

⇒ $6x^2+12x-7=0$

On comparing this with equation [1] we have;

a = 6, b = 12 and c = -7

then;

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{(12)^2-4(6)(-7)}}{2(6)}$

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{144+168}}{12}$

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{312}}{12}$

$x = \frac{-12\pm 2\sqrt{78}}{12}$

$x = \frac{-6\pm \sqrt{78}}{6}$

Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) are;

$\frac{-6+\sqrt{78}}{6}$ and $\frac{-6-\sqrt{78}}{6}$

You plan to accumulate 100,000 at the end of 42 years by making the follow-

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Y = 479.17

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of year 14, the balance from the deposits of X can be found using the annuity due formula:

A = P(1+r/n)((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/(r/n)

where P is the periodic payment, n is the number of payments and compoundings per year, t is the number of years, and r is the annual interest rate.

A = X(1.07)(1.07^14 -1)/0.07 ≈ 24.129022X

This accumulated amount continues to earn interest for the next 28 years, so will further be multiplied by 1.07^28. Then the final balance due to deposits of X will be ...

Ax = (24.129022X)(1.07^28) = 160.429967X

The same annuity due formula can be used for the deposits of Y for the last 10 years of the interval:

Ay = Y(1.07)(1.07^10 -1)/.07 = 14.783599Y

Now we can write the two equations in the two unknowns:

Ax +Ay = 100,000

X - Y = 100

From the latter, we have ...

X = Y +100

So the first equation becomes ...

160.429967(Y +100) +14.783599Y = 100000

175.213566Y +16,043.00 = 100,000

Y = (100,000 -16,043)/175.213566 ≈ 479.17

Y is 479.17

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?

KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{3\pi}{2}$

The angle $\theta$ belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of $sin(\theta)$ is negative

Step 1

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$sin^{2}(\theta)+(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}=1$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of $tan(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

In a film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. He wittily

yanalaym [24]

Answer:the uncle is 54 years old.

The woman is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of the uncle.

Let y represent the age of the woman that he married.

In the film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. This means that

x = 3y

He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 18 years time I shall only be twice her age. It means that

x + 18 = 2(y + 18)

x + 18 = 2y + 36 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

3y + 18 = 2y + 36

3y - 2y = 36 - 18

y = 18

x = 3y = 3 × 18

x = 54
