WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? 1. In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we use algebra to find the price of the item before tax was added? What is the price before tax? Note: Using x = the price before tax, write an equation, and show solving steps to find x. (SOLVE AND CHECK)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $47.83

Step-by-step explanation: Let's turn the percentage into a decimal, move the decimal two times to the right...

6% ⇒ 0.06

0.06 * $50.88 = $3.05

$50.88 - $3.05 = $47.83

Remember x = price before tax...

x = $47.83

The top of the ladder touches the tree 14 ft above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem incorporates the ladder length (17.5 ft), the distance of the base of the ladder from the base of the tree (10.5 ft), and the point where the ladder touches the tree (x ft):

x^2 + 10.5^2 = 17.5^2, or

x^2 + 110.25 = 306.25.  Then x^2 = 196, and x = +14  (Answer C)

The top of the ladder touches the tree 14 ft above the ground.

Which statement describes the graph of the function?

Answers

Answer:

The function has a hole when x = 0 and a vertical asymptote when x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function has a hole when x = 0 and a vertical asymptote when x=4. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

The coordinates from the given table (-0.2, -0.238), (-0.1, -0.244), (0.1, -0.256), (0.2, -0.263), (3.7, -3.3) (3.8, -5), (3.9, -10), (3.99, -100) and (4.01, 100).

What is the function?

Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.

From the table, we have:

f(0) = undefined

f(4) = undefined

One of these values (the lesser value of x i.e. x = 0) is a hole, while the other is a vertical asymptote

Using the above as a guide, the correct statement is the function has a hole when x = 0 and a vertical asymptote when x = 4.

The function has a hole when x = 0 and a vertical asymptote when x=4. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Find the missing coordinate r.

Answers

Answer:

r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate slope m using the slope formula and equate to [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 11, r) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 5)

m = [tex]\frac{5-r}{-7+11}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5-r}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fractions )

5 - r = 3 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- r = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

In a standard 52−card deck, half of the cards are red and half are black. The 52 cards are divided evenly into 4 suits: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. Each suit has three face cards (jack, queen, king), and an ace. Each suit also has 9 cards numbered from 2 to 10.




Suppose a solitaire player has played 800 games. Predict how many times the player turned over a black card as the first card.



The player can expect to turn over a black card about


( answer ) times.

Answers

Answer:

the player can expect to turn over a black card about 400 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

the way to solve a probability question is like this:

there are 52 total cards, out of those 52 cards, half of them are black cards.

that means 1/2 of 52 = black cards

if the plays 800 times, and half of the cards are black, the player can expect to have a 50% chance of flipping over a black card.

800/50 = 400.

therefore the player can expect to have flipped a black card 400 times.

If Larry gets 5% of 80 questions wrong, how many did he get correct? Provide an explanation :)

A. 8

D. 76

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Larry wrong 5% of the questions and he correct the remaining 95%. So in order to find how many questions he correct, first, you have to convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100 :

[tex]95\% = \frac{95}{100} = 0.95[/tex]

Next, you have to multiply by the total number of questions :

[tex]0.95 \times 80 = 76 \: questions[/tex]

5% of 80 is 4, so he got 4 wrong
80-4=76

Answer:

This data set contains three variables, one of which is categorical

Step-by-step explanation:

The three variables are: Gender, Length and Weight

A categorical variable is a variable that can take on one of a limited, and usually fixed, number of possible values. In this example, the only categorical variable is Gender, because it can only take two possible values, female (F) or male (M). The other two variables are not categorical because they have to be measured, and their values are not fixed.

Kaylee solves the equation below by first squaring both sides of the equation.

[tex]1-y=\sqrt{2y^{2} -7}[/tex]

What extraneous solution does Kaylee obtain?

y=???

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Its an extraneous solution, not a normal solution. It shouldn't be -4, it should be 2.

The extraneous solution obtained by Kaylee is y = 4.

To solve the equation, let's follow Kaylee's approach and square both sides:

[tex](1 - y)^2 = (2y^2 - 7)[/tex]

Expanding the left side:

[tex]1 - 2y + y^2 = 2y^2 - 7[/tex]

Rearranging the equation and combining like terms:

[tex]y^2 - 2y^2 + 2y - 1 - 7 = 0\\\\-y^2 + 2y - 8 = 0[/tex]

Now, to solve this quadratic equation, we can factor it:

-(y - 4)(y + 2) = 0

Setting each factor equal to zero:

y - 4 = 0   or   y + 2 = 0

Solving for y in each equation:

y = 4   or   y = -2

However, we need to check if these solutions are extraneous by substituting them back into the original equation:

For y = 4:

[tex]1 - 4 = \sqrt{2(4^2) - 7}\\\\-3 = \sqrt{32 - 7}\\\\-3 = \sqrt{25}[/tex]

-3 ≠ 5

For y = -2:

[tex]1 - (-2) = \sqrt{2(-2^2) - 7}\\\\3 = \sqrt{8 - 7}\\\\3 = 1[/tex]

From the above analysis, we see that when y = 4, it leads to an extraneous solution, as it does not satisfy the original equation.

Therefore, the extraneous solution obtained by Kaylee is y = 4.

What is the degree measure of arc HG?

Answers

Answer:

arc HG = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle HFG is one half the measure of its intercepted arc, that is

3x + 2 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (5x + 10) ( multiply both sides by 2 )

6x + 4 = 5x + 10 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x + 4 = 10 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 6

Thus

arc HG = 5x + 10 = 5(6) + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40°

Answers

Answer:

Measure of arc CD will be 52°.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given circle A, measure of central angle intercepted by the arc BCD at the center = 148°

And points B, C and D lie on the given circle.

[tex]m(\widehat {BCD})[/tex] = 148°

[tex]m(\widehat {BCD})=m(\widehat{BC})+m(\widehat {CD})[/tex]

148° = 96° + [tex]m(\widehat{CD})[/tex]

148 - 96 = [tex]m(\widehat{CD})[/tex]
