Hello there!

First we want to do $25 times 10%.

10% as a decimal is 0.10.

We then do 25 * 0.10 and we get $2.50

$2.50 is what the waiter would get as a tip.

We then want to add $25 times 8%

8% as a decimal is 0.08.

We then do 25 * 0.08 and we get $2.00

$25.00 (Bill) + $2.00 (Tax) + $2.50 (Tip) = $29.50.

Therefore, the total amount of cash you should pay with should be that, or $30.00 if you round up.

Hope this helped, have a great day!

Answer:

$29.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the tip

tip = pre tax bill * 10 %

tip = 25 * .10

tip =2.5

Next we need to find the tax

tax = pre tax bill * 8%

tax = 25 * .08

tax =2

Final bill = pre tax bill + tax + tip

Final bill = 25 + 2 + 2.5

=29.50

Solve the recurrence relation: hn = 5hn−1 − 6hn−2 − 4hn−3 + 8hn−4 with initial values h0 = 0, h1 = 1, h2 = 1, and h3 = 2 using (

musickatia [10]

(a) Suppose $h_n=r^n$ is a solution for this recurrence, with $r\neq0$ . Then

$r^n=5r^{n-1}-6r^{n-2}-4r^{n-3}+8r^{n-4}$
$\implies1=\dfrac5r-\dfrac6{r^2}-\dfrac4{r^3}+\dfrac8{r^4}$
$\implies r^4-5r^3+6r^2+4r-8=0$
$\implies (r-2)^3(r+1)=0\implies r=2,r=-1$

So we expect a general solution of the form

$h_n=c_1(-1)^n+(c_2+c_3n+c_4n^2)2^n$

With $h_0=0,h_1=1,h_2=1,h_3=2$ , we get four equations in four unknowns:

$\begin{cases}c_1+c_2=0\\-c_1+2c_2+2c_3+2c_4=1\\c_1+4c_2+8c_3+16c_4=1\\-c_1+8c_2+24c_3+72c_4=2\end{cases}\implies c_1=-\dfrac8{27},c_2=\dfrac8{27},c_3=\dfrac7{72},c_4=-\dfrac1{24}$

So the particular solution to the recurrence is

$h_n=-\dfrac8{27}(-1)^n+\left(\dfrac8{27}+\dfrac{7n}{72}-\dfrac{n^2}{24}\right)2^n$

(b) Let $G(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$ be the generating function for $h_n$ . Multiply both sides of the recurrence by $x^n$ and sum over all $n\ge4$ .

$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-1}x^n-6\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-2}x^n-4\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-3}x^n+8\sum_{n\ge4}h_{n-4}x^n$
$\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge4}h_nx^n=5x\sum_{n\ge3}h_nx^n-6x^2\sum_{n\ge2}h_nx^n-4x^3\sum_{n\ge1}h_nx^n+8x^4\sum_{n\ge0}h_nx^n$
$G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2-h_3x^3=5x(G(x)-h_0-h_1x-h_2x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-h_0-h_1x)-4x^3(G(x)-h_0)+8x^4G(x)$
$G(x)-x-x^2-2x^3=5x(G(x)-x-x^2)-6x^2(G(x)-x)-4x^3G(x)+8x^4G(x)$
$(1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4)G(x)=x-4x^2+3x^3$
$G(x)=\dfrac{x-4x^2+3x^3}{1-5x+6x^2+4x^3-8x^4}$
$G(x)=\dfrac{17}{108}\dfrac1{1-2x}+\dfrac29\dfrac1{(1-2x)^2}-\dfrac1{12}\dfrac1{(1-2x)^3}-\dfrac8{27}\dfrac1{1+x}$

From here you would write each term as a power series (easy enough, since they're all geometric or derived from a geometric series), combine the series into one, and the solution to the recurrence will be the coefficient of $x^n$ , ideally matching the solution found in part (a).

At eagle bay it cost $12 per hour to rent a Canoe Nate and his friends rented a canoe for 4 hours and paid $68. Write and solve

stich3 [128]

The cost to rent the canoe for 7 hours is $ 104

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

At eagle bay it cost $12 per hour to rent a Canoe

Nate and his friends rented a canoe for 4 hours and paid $68

Let "x" be the number of hours rented

We can solve use the point slope equation

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Where, "m" is the rate of change

$(x_1, y_1)$ is the sample point

From given,

m = 12

$(x_1, y_1) = (4, 68)$

Therefore,

$y - 68 = 12(x-4)$

$y - 68 = 12x -48\\\\y = 12x -48+68\\\\y = 12x + 20$

Thus the linear equation is found

Here, "y" represents the amount paid for "x" hours

<em><u>Find the cost to rent the canoe for 7 hours</u></em>

Substitute x = 7 in linear equation

y = 12(7) + 20

y = 84 + 20

y = 104

Thus cost to rent the canoe for 7 hours is $ 104

A prescription calls for the following: Sodium citrate 5 g Tartar Emetic 0.015 g Cherry syrup ad 120 mL Using a balance with a s

ella [17]

Answer:

measure the volume of cherry syrup solution with Tartar Emetic = 22.5 mL

Hence, the correct quantity of tartar emetic to fill the prescription will be obtained

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sodium citrate = 5 g

Mass of Tartar Emetic = 0.015 g = 15 mg

Volume of Cherry syrup ad 120 mL = 120 mL

sensitivity = 4 mg

Error = 5%

Now,

The smallest weight that can be measured = $\frac{\textup{Sensitivity}}{\textup{Error}}\times100$

or

The smallest weight that can be measured = $\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{5}}\times100$ = 80 mg

Now,

80 mg is dissolved in 120 mL of Cherry syrup according to prescription

( Thus,

1 mg is dissolved in $\frac{120}{80}\ mL$ of Cherry syrup according to prescription )

so to measure 15 mg of Tartar Emetic, measure the volume of cherry syrup

= $15\times\frac{120}{80}\ mL$

= 22.5 mL

Hence, the correct quantity of tartar emetic to fill the prescription will be obtained
