Answer 450219 by jim_thompson5910(28595) About Me  on 2013-04-13 13:25:52 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 60000(1+0.08/1)^(1*8)

A = 111,055.812616912

A = 111,055.81

She pays back $111,055.81 total. So she pays 111,055.81 - 60,000 = $51,055.81 in interest total.

The closest answer choice is choice D since it looks like they rounded to the nearest dollar.

the subject's maximum recommended number of heartbeats per minute (h) can be determined by subtracting the subject's age (a) from 220 and then taking 75% of that value


translates to

h = 0.75(220 - a)

She has 5+120 = 125 mL of solution total when she mixes the acid and water.

5/125 = 1/25 = 0.04 = 4% of this solution is pure acid

BUT she wants 5% of the solution to be pure acid. So she needs more acetic acid to go from 4% acid to 5% acid.

Type <= to mean "less than or equal"



5k-3%282-k%29-2%28k-5%29%3C=-2 Start with the given inequality.


5k-6%2B3k-2k%2B10%3C=-2 Distribute.


6k%2B4%3C=-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


6k%3C=-2-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


6k%3C=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


k%3C=%28-6%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate k.


k%3C=-1 Reduce.

(e^x+e^-x) / 2 = 1

(e^x+1/e^x) / 2 = 1

((e^x)^2+1)/(2e^x) = 1

Let z = e^x

((e^x)^2+1)/(2e^x) = 1

(z^2+1)/(2z) = 1

z^2+1 = 2z

z^2-2z+1 = 0

(z-1)^2 = 0

z-1 = 0

z = 1

e^x = 1

Final Answer: e^x = 1

We are using these 3 rules (in the same order)

Rule 1) 1/x = x^(-1)

Rule 2) log(x^y) = y*log(x)

Rule 3) log base b (b) = 1 ... ex: log%282%2C%282%29%29=1, log%2817%2C%2817%29%29=1

-------------------------------------------------------

Log base 6 (1/6) = Log base 6 (6^(-1)) ... use rule 1 above

Log base 6 (1/6) = -1*Log base 6 (6) ... use rule 2 above

Log base 6 (1/6) = -1*1 ... use rule 3 above

Log base 6 (1/6) = -1

f(x)=-x^3+8x^2+15x-27

f(-3)=-(-3)^3+8(-3)^2+15(-3)-27

f(-3)=-(-27)+8(9)+15(-3)-27

f(-3)=27+72-45-27

f(-3)=27

%287x%2B8%29%285x%2B2%29 Start with the given expression.


Now let's FOIL the expression.


Remember, when you FOIL an expression, you follow this procedure:


%28highlight%287x%29%2B8%29%28highlight%285x%29%2B2%29 Multiply the First terms:%287%2Ax%29%2A%285%2Ax%29=35%2Ax%5E2.


%28highlight%287x%29%2B8%29%285x%2Bhighlight%282%29%29 Multiply the Outer terms:%287%2Ax%29%2A%282%29=14%2Ax.


%287x%2Bhighlight%288%29%29%28highlight%285x%29%2B2%29 Multiply the Inner terms:%288%29%2A%285%2Ax%29=40%2Ax.


%287x%2Bhighlight%288%29%29%285x%2Bhighlight%282%29%29 Multiply the Last terms:%288%29%2A%282%29=16.


---------------------------------------------------
So we have the terms: 35%2Ax%5E2, 14%2Ax, 40%2Ax, 16


35%2Ax%5E2%2B14%2Ax%2B40%2Ax%2B16 Now add every term listed above to make a single expression.


35x%5E2%2B54x%2B16 Now combine like terms.


So %287x%2B8%29%285x%2B2%29 FOILs to 35x%5E2%2B54x%2B16.


In other words, %287x%2B8%29%285x%2B2%29=35x%5E2%2B54x%2B16.

I hope your teacher gets better soon.

Looking at y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3 we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=-2%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=3


Since b=3 this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point




Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
slope=rise%2Frun

Also, because the slope is -2%2F3, this means:

rise%2Frun=-2%2F3


which shows us that the rise is -2 and the run is 3. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 3



So starting at , go down 2 units


and to the right 3 units to get to the next point



Now draw a line through these points to graph y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3

So this is the graph of y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B3 through the points and

4x-8%3C-2.5 Start with the given inequality.


10%284x-8%29%3C10%28-2.5%29 Multiply both sides by 10 to clear out the decimals.


40x-80%3C-25 Distribute and multiply.


40x%3C-25%2B80 Add 80 to both sides.


40x%3C55 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2855%29%2F%2840%29 Divide both sides by 40 to isolate x.


x%3C11%2F8 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C11%2F8


Which in decimal form is x%3C1.375


Money_Word_Problems/737012: Your job pays you $1,600 per month. All taxes combined reduce your pay by 25%. Your current total expenses are $1,200. You want to join a health club for $75 per month. Can you afford it?

Answer 450111 by jim_thompson5910(28595) About Me  on 2013-04-12 15:58:31 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1600 - 25% of 1600 = 1600 - 0.25*1600 = 1200

So after you take 25% of 1600 away from 1600, you're left with 1200

So you are *really* paid $1,200 a month (instead of $1,600 a month) after you take out all taxes.

Your expenses are $1,200, so you will have 1200 - 1200 = 0 dollars left over

So you CANNOT afford the health club or any additional expenses. This is assuming you don't rely on a credit card or other forms of loans.

A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 1300(1+0.025/12)^(12*5)

A = 1300(1+0.002083333)^(60)

A = 1300(1.002083333)^(60)

A = 1300(1.133001099)

A = 1472.9014287

A = 1472.90

So there will be $1,472.90 in the account in 5 years.

2x^2+11x=6

2x^2+11x-6=0

(x+6)(2x-1)=0

x+6=0 or 2x-1=0

x=-6 or 2x=1

x=-6 or x=1/2

So the two solutions are x=-6 or x=1/2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let b = # of boys, g = # of girls

b+g = 50 ---> g = 50-b

2/3 = b/g

2/3 = b/(50-b)

2(50-b) = 3b

100 - 2b = 3b

-2b = 3b-100

-2b-3b = -100

-5b = -100

b = (-100)/(-5)

b = 20

g = 50 - b

g = 50 - 20

g = 30

There are 30 girls and 50 members total

So the ratio is 30:50 ---> 3:5
