Maru [420]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

3/4*x - 3/4*8=12

3/4x -6=12

3/4x=12+6

3/4x=18

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 3/4 into the content inside the brackets

have -3/4*8 cross the equal sign changing its sign from - to +

divide both sides by 3/4

Raymond bought a car for $40,000. He took a 20,000 loan from a bank at an interest rate of 15% per year for a 5 - year period. W

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

$35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount that would be repaid = amount borrowed + interest earned on loan

interest earned on deposit can be determined by determining the simple interest

Simple interest = principal x time x interest rate

principal = the amount deposited = 20,000

Time = the duration of the deposit =5

interest rate = the percentage on deposit that would be earned = 15

20,000 x 5 x 0.15 = $15,000

total = 20,000 + 15,000 = $35,000

Chandresh is helping his father paint the fence in their back yard. The fence is represented by the shaded part of the diagram b

Lyrx [107]

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,$

The area of the 10 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (10)(8) =80,$

The area of the 5 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (5)(8) =40,$

The area of the 4 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (4)(8) =32,$

The area of the 15 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (15)(8) =120.$

The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.

Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = $432(2)=864$ square feet.

Step 3:

If one paint can covers 500 square feet,

the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = $\frac{864}{500} = 1.728$ cans.

so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.

An expression is given: 2 open parentheses square root of k minus 1 close parenthesis plus square root of 8. If on adding negati

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Possible value of k is √2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The expression, 2·(√k - 1) + √8 to which may be added -6·√2 to obtain a rational number, we therefore have;

2·(√k - 1) + √8 - 6·√2 = R

Therefore, simplifying gives;

2·√k - 2 + 2·√2 - 6·√2 = 2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k - 2 - 4·√2 + 2= R + 2 = R

2·√k - 2+ 2 - 4·√2 = R

2·√k + 0 - 4·√2 = 2·√k - 4·√2 = 2·(√k - 2·√2) = R

(√k - 2·√2) = R/2 = R

Therefore, √2 is a factor of √k such that √k - 2·√2 = R

Which gives k = x·√2, where x = a rational number

When x = 1, k = √2.

Therefore, a possible value of k is √2

Arrange these functions from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval.Tiles

Ugo [173]

By definition, the average rate of change is given by:

$AVR = \frac{f(x2)-f(x1)}{x2-x1}$

We evaluate each of the functions in the given interval.

We have then:

For f (x) = x ^ 2 + 3x:

Evaluating for x = -2:

$f (-2) = (-2) ^ 2 + 3 (-2)\\f (-2) = 4 - 6\\f (-2) = - 2$

Evaluating for x = 3:

$f (3) = (3) ^ 2 + 3 (3)\\f (3) = 9 + 9\\f (3) = 18$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{18-(-2)}{3-(-2)}$

$AVR = \frac{18+2}{3+2}$

$AVR = \frac{20}{5}$

$AVR = 4$

For f (x) = 3x - 8:

Evaluating for x =4:

$f (4) = 3 (4) - 8\\f (4) = 12 - 8\\f (4) = 4$

Evaluating for x = 5:

$f (5) = 3 (5) - 8\\f (5) = 15 - 8\\f (5) = 7$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{7-4}{5-4}$

$AVR = \frac{3}{1}$

$AVR = 3$

For f (x) = x ^ 2 - 2x:

Evaluating for x = -3:

$f (-3) = (-3) ^ 2 - 2 (-3)\\f (-3) = 9 + 6\\f (-3) = 15$

Evaluating for x = 4:

$f (4) = (4) ^ 2 - 2 (4)\\f (4) = 16 - 8\\f (4) = 8$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{8-15}{4-(-3)}$

$AVR = \frac{-7}{4+3}$

$AVR = \frac{-7}{7}$

$AVR = -1$

For f (x) = x ^ 2 - 5:

Evaluating for x = -1:

$f (-1) = (-1) ^ 2 - 5\\f (-1) = 1 - 5\\f (-1) = - 4$

Evaluating for x = 1:

$f (1) = (1) ^ 2 - 5\\f (1) = 1 - 5\\f (1) = - 4$

Then, the AVR is:

$AVR = \frac{-4-(-4)}{1-(-1)}$

$AVR = \frac{-4+4}{1+1}$

$AVR = \frac{0}{2}$

$AVR = 0$

Answer:

from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval:

f(x) = x^2 + 3x interval: [-2, 3]

f(x) = 3x - 8 interval: [4, 5]

f(x) = x^2 - 5 interval: [-1, 1]

f(x) = x^2 - 2x interval: [-3, 4]
