The price of a computer was decreased by 30% to £147.
What was the price before the decrease?The price of a ring was increased by 9% to £1800. What was the price before the increase? Give your answer to the nearest penny.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  a) £210

  b) £1651.38

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

After the reduction, the price is 1 -30% = 0.70 of what it was.

  0.7p = £147

  p = £147/0.7 = £2.10 . . . price before decrease

__

b)

After the increase, the price is 1 +9% = 1.09 of what it was.

  p = £1800/1.09 ≈ £1651.38 . . . price before increase

The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x.
If y = 12 when x = 15, what is the value of x when y = 40?
A.
12
B. 32
C.43
D.
50

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = 12 when x = 15

12 = 15k ( divide both sides by 15 )

0.8 = k

y = 0.8x ← equation of proportion

When y = 40 , then

40 = 0.8x ( divide both sides by 0.8 )

50 = x → D

Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2. 5), (3, 6. 25). What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? 1. 0 1. 5 2. 5 2. 0.

Answers

Answer:

r = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the y- coordinates of the plotted points

1 , 2.5 , 6.25

The common ratio r is calculated as

r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.5}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.25}{2.5}[/tex] = 2.5

Find the term of the arithmetic sequence in which a 27=-1/2 and the common difference is 2.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence means that every new term is created by adding a certain constant (here 2) to the previous term.

a27 = -1/2 = a1 + (n-1)×2 = a1 + 26×2 = a1 + 52

a1 = -52 1/2 = -105/2

an = -105/2 + (n-1)×2

Is -3/4 greater than -0.25

Answers

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

you should know that 3/4 is the same as 0.75. -0.75 is smaller than -0.25 because when dealing with negative numbers, what would be the “smaller” number in positive negative integers is actually the larger number as it is closer to 0.

Answer:

-0.25 is greater than -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

usually if they were positive 0.75 would be bigger but since there negative decimals, -0.25 is greater. By the way, -0.75 is -3/4.

Write the equation of the line from the graph.​

Answers

Answer: y = 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is usually in y= mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In order to calculate the slope, we choose two-point from the graph. (-1 ,-2) and (0, 2).

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

        = (2 - (-2)) / (0 - (-1))

        = (2 + 2) / (0 + 1)

        = 4 / 1

        = 4

y-intercept means the y value when x is 0, according to the graph, the y value when x at 0 was 2. So the y-intercept is 2.

Plug both slope and y-intercept in, we get the equation:

            y = 4x + 2

Answer: y = 4x + 2

Answers

Answer:

y intercept = (0,7) , it is the weight of a newborn at birth/ before any months have passed

Step-by-step explanation:

in this equation:

weight= t(months) + 7

this is an equation written as y=mx +b

in a line equation like this b is the y intercept , or the y value when x=0

in this problem when x=0 it means that 0 months have passed , i.e. the baby is a newborn

A radar station is 2000 ft from the launch site of a rocket. If the rocket is launched vertically at the
rate of 500 ft/sec, how fast is the distance between the radar station and the rocket changing 10 seconds
later?

Answers

Answer: f 500 Ft./sec

Step-by-step explanation:

By evaluating the derivate of the distance in t = 10s, we will see that at t =  10s the distance is changing at a rate of 464.2 ft/s

We can think of the situation as in a right triangle, one cathetus is equal to 2000ft, and the other cathetus increases at a rate of 500ft/sec.

The hypotenuse would be the distance between the radar and the rocket.

Then the distance function is:

[tex]D(t) = \sqrt{(2000ft)^2 + (500ft/s*t)^2}[/tex]

Now we need to get the rate of change, this is given by:

[tex]\frac{dD(t)}{dt} = (1/2)*\frac{2*(500ft)^2*t}{\sqrt{(2000ft)^2 + (500ft/s*t)^2} }[/tex]

Now we evaluate this in t = 10s to get:

[tex]\frac{dD(10s)}{dt} = (1/2)*\frac{2*(500ft/s)^2*10s}{\sqrt{(2000ft)^2 + (500ft/s*10s)^2} } = 464.2 ft/s[/tex]
