Answer:

25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is b^2 - 4ac.

2x^2 + x - 3 = 0

- the discriminant is 1^1 - 4*2*(-3) = 1 + 24

= 25 (answer).

The Taylors have recorded their weekly grocery expenses for the past 12 weeks and determined that the mean weekly expense was $

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$84.80

Step-by-step explanation:

find the difference between accurate price and written price: 74 - 47 = 27

find written total (before Mrs. Taylor found mistake) by undoing the mean calculation: 82.55 x 12 = $990.60

the total expenses is $27 more than what they thought: 990.60 + 27 = 1017.60

divide accurate total by 12 to find mean: 1017.60 / 12 = $84.80

hope this helps :)

A hospital cafeteria has 20 tables. 65% of the tables have 6 chairs at each table. The remaining 35% of the tables have 4 chairs

rosijanka [135]

Total number of tables in the cafeteria = 20

65% of the tables = $\frac{65}{100} (20)$

$=\frac{13}{20}(20)$

= 13

Each table has 6 chairs.

So, total number of chairs that 65% of the tables have = 13 × 6 = 78.

35% of the tables = $\frac{35}{100} (20)$

$=\frac{7}{20} (20)$

= 7

Each table has 4 chairs.

So, total number of chairs that the remaining 35% of the tables have = 7 × 4 = 28.

Hence, total number of chairs in the hospital cafeteria = 78 + 28 = 106.

You buy a pair of jeans at a department store. Jeans 39.99 Discount -10.00 Subtotal 29.99 Sales tax 1.95 Total 31.94 a. What is

Mariana [72]

A)

if 39.99 is the 100%, what is 10 in percentage? well

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
39.99&100\\
10&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{39.99}{10}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

b)

now, with the discount, the amount is 29.99, thus if 29.99 is the 100%, what is 1.95 from it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
29.99&100\\
1.95&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{29.99}{1.95}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

c)

the original price is 39.99, the markup on that is 60%, how much is that?
well

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
39.99&100\\
x&60
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{39.99}{x}=\cfrac{100}{60}\implies 39.99\cdot 60=100x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{39.99\cdot 60}{100}=x\implies 23.994=x$

now, after the discount, the price is 29.99, how much is 23.994 in percentage of 29.99?

well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
29.99&100\\
23.994&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{29.99}{23.994}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

a rectangle pyramid fits exactly on top of a rectangular prism. the prism has a length of 18 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a height o

irina1246 [14]

To find the volume of the prism you are going to use the formula V=WxLxH.
When you plug in your numbers you should get V= 18x6x9 which ends up equaling 972.

Now that you have that you need to find the volume of the pyramid using the formula V= L x W x H /3 and when you plug that in it looks like
V= 18 x 6 x 15 /3

Upon simplifying that you get 540.

Now you have the volume of your rectangular prism and your rectangular pyramid add them together and you should get 1512

I recommend drawing it out... it helps a lot:)
