Answer:

Quincy read 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backwards. Samantha read three less books than Teresa (11-3=8). Ralph read half as many books as Samantha (8/2 = 4). Quincy read five more books than Ralph (4 + 5 = 9).

A particular convex pentagon has two congruent, acute angles. The measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the s
NNADVOKAT [17]

1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is shown below:


 (n-2) × 180°


 "n" is the number of sides of the polygon (n=5).


 2. Then, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon, is:


 (5-2)x180°=540°


 3. The problem says that the measure of each of the other interior angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the two acute angles and now you know that the sum of all the angles is 540°, then, you have:


 α+α+2α+2α+2α=540°

 8α=540°

 α=540°/8

 α=67.5°


 4. Finally, the larger angle is:


 2α=2(67.5°)=135°


 5. Therefore, the answer is: 135°

Find the value of $x$ that maximizes $$f(x) = \log (-20x + 12\sqrt{x}).$$ If there is no maximum value, write "NONE".
kakasveta [241]
The function is written as:
f(x) = log(-20x + 12√x)
To find the maximum value, differentiate the equation in terms of x, then equate it to zero. The solution is as follows.

The formula for differentiation would be:
d(log u)/dx = du/u ln(10)
Thus,
d/dx = (-20 + 6/√x)/(-20x + 12√x)(ln 10) = 0
-20 + 6/√x = 0
6/√x = 20
x = (6/20)² = 9/100

Thus,
f(x) =  log(-20(9/100)+ 12√(9/100)) = 0.2553

<em>The maximum value of the function is 0.2553.</em>

A motorcycle has an initial speed of u m/s. It accelerates to a speed of 1.2u in 10 seconds. The motorcycle then travels at a co
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A motorcycle has an initial speed of u m/s. It accelerates to a speed of 1.2u in 10 seconds

V = U + at

1.2u  = u  + a*10

=> a = 0.02u

S= ut + (1/2)at²

Distance in 1st 10 secs

S = u(10) + (1/2)(0.02)(10)²

=> S = 10u + u

=>  S = 11u  m

Constant speed 1.2u for 15 secs

S = 1.2u * 15

=> S = 18u m

Total Distance Covered d  = 11u + 18u = 29u  m

A rice merchant purchased 50 bags of rice at rupees 300 per back he spent 500 rupees towards transportation due to lack of deman
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

10500 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

So 50 bags 300 per pack so

300*50= 15000

15000 is what he spent on the 50 bags of rice

So he spent 500 rupees on transportation

15000 + 500 = 15500 total spent which is not needed but extra information

30% loss is 30% of 15000 so

30% of 15000 = 4500

15000 - 4500 = 10500 rupees
