P-.15p this is the expression for cost after discount

and its just .15p for just the discount

Answer:

p - (0.15p)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of an item = p

discount rate = 15% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15

discount price = 0.15 × p

Discounted price of the item = p-(0.15p)

Answer:

It’s 42

Step-by-step explanation: when Quinn return home, it was 0 minutes he turned on the air conditioner. So temperature at that time is equal to value of Q when t=0

Q=42-0.7t

=42-0.7(0)

Sergio and Lizeth have a very tight vacation budget. They plan to rent a car from a company that charges $75 a week plus $0.25 a
nordsb [41]

Answer: 500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sergio and Lizeth have planned to rent a car from a company that charges $75 a week plus $0.25 a mile.

i.e. Fixed charge= $75

Rate per mile = $0.25

Let x denotes the number of miles.

Then, Total charges = Fixed charge+ Rate per mile x No. of miles traveled

=  $75+ $0.25x

To keep budget within $200, we have following equation.

75+0.25x=200\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25=200-75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25=125\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{125}{0.25}=\dfrac{12500}{25}=500

Hence, they can travel 500 miles and still keep within their $200 budget.

A ballplayer catches a ball 3.4s after throwing it vertically upward. with what speed did he throw it, and what height did it re
Daniel [21]

From the equation of motion, we know,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where s= displacement

u= initial velocity

a= gravitational force

t= time

Displacement is 0 since the ball comes back to the same point from where it was thrown.  

A = -9.8m/s^{2} since the ball is thrown upwards.

Plug the known values into the equation.

=> 0=u\left ( 3.4 \right )+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -9.81 \right )(3.4^{2})

Solving for u gives :

u= 16.67 m/ sec ....... equation (1)

At maximum height, final velocity i.e v is 0

Time take to reach the top = \frac{3.4}{2} = 1.7 sec

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

=> 0=(16.67)^{2}+2(-9.81)(s)

Solving for s we get

s= 14.16 m

lubasha [3.4K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and preview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long (The Wall Street Journal, October 12, 2012). A preliminary sample conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was 4 minutes. Use that as a planning value for the standard deviation in answering the following questions. Round your answer to next whole number,

a) If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 75 seconds, what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence.

b) If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence.

Answer:

a) the required Sample Size is 40

b) the required Sample Size is 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

standard deviation σ = 4 minutes

a)

margin of error E = 75 seconds = ( 75 / 60 )minutes = 1.25 minutes

And 95% confidence.

Now, Critical Value of z for 0.95 confidence interval;

∝ = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Z_{\alpha /2 = 1.96

so, sample size n will be;

n = [ Z_{\alpha /2 × σ/E ]²

we substitute;

n = [ 1.96 × (4/1.25) ]²

n =  [ 1.96 × 3.2 ]²

n = [ 6.272 ]²

n = 39.338

Since we referring to a number of sample, its approximately becomes 40

Therefore, the required Sample Size is 40

b)

margin of error E = 1 minutes

And 95% confidence.

Now, Critical Value of z for 0.95 confidence interval;

∝ = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Z_{\alpha /2 = 1.96

so, sample size n will be;

n = [ Z_{\alpha /2 × σ/E ]²

we substitute;

n = [ 1.96 × (4/1) ]²

n =  [ 1.96 × 4 ]²

n = [ 7.84 ]²

n = 61.466

Since we referring to a number of sample, its approximately becomes 62

Therefore, the required Sample Size is 62

What is the recursive rule for an=4n−1? a1=4;an=an−1−1 a1=3;an=an−1+4 a1=−1;an=an−1+4 a1=3;an=an−1−1
navik [9.2K]
Plug in n = 1 into the nth term formula
a(n) = 4n-1
a(1) = 4*1-1
a(1) = 3
So the first term is 3

The second term will be 7 because we add on 4 each time, as indicated by the slope of 4. This is also known as the common difference.

So the nth term is found by adding 4 to the (n-1)st term, in other words,
a(n) = a(n-1)+4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, the answer is 
a1=3; an=an-1+4
which is choice B
