 Equations/570382: the sum of the measure of two complementary angles is 90. if on angle measures 15 more than twice the measure of the complement, find the measure of each angle.1 solutions Answer 367672 by solver91311(16877)   on 2012-02-09 15:40:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the measure of the complement of the angle. Then twice the measure of the complement is and 15 more than that is . Since the sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90, if is the measure of the complement, then must be the measure of the angle. So: Solve for then calculate John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
 Human-and-algebraic-language/570381: Louis collects comic books. He buys 3 comics a week for a year. Let "X" represent the value of weeks and write an equation that would calculate the number of weeks it has been in Louis has 48 comics. I can't seem to think of any other way to write it except X*3=48 but that seems incorrect...1 solutions Answer 367670 by solver91311(16877)   on 2012-02-09 15:31:47 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's see, using your theory, in 1 week he would have , in 2 weeks, , etc. seems perfectly reasonable to me. Why does it seem incorrect to you? John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
 Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/570011: 1. Freedom or Alligators Once upon a time, a prison warden was responsible for 22 prisoners on Death Row. These prisoners were students who had done terrible things: some illegally downloaded movies and music, some texted during classes, some were addicted to Facebook, and some watched Glee. One day, the warden offers the prisoners one chance at freedom. After a brief discussion period in which they could plan their strategy, each of the prisoners will be placed in solitary confinement (in completely soundproof cells) with absolutely no way to communicate with one another. The warden will arbitrarily take one prisoner at a time to another room containing two light switches side by side. The switches are not connected to anything, but the warden tells the prisoners that at the beginning of the entire process both switches will begin in the “Off” or “Down” position. The rules are that each time one of the prisoners enters the room he or she must flip exactly one of the switches. The warden tells the prisoners that if one of them ever correctly announces that all 22 prisoners have been in the room that they will all be released. However, if any of the prisoners ever incorrectly claims that all 22 have been in the room, then all 22 will be fed to the warden’s pet alligators. The warden makes it clear to that prisoners may be returned to the room any number of times, but there is no way for the prisoners to communicate with one another other than by way of the two light switches. The room with the switches will be thoroughly cleaned after each prisoner leaves. The prisoners are given some time to come up with a plan before they are to be placed in solitary confinement. How do they ensure their freedom? 1 solutions Answer 367521 by solver91311(16877)   on 2012-02-08 22:04:56 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The prisoners need to choose a leader, who we will hereafter call the "Scorekeeper" The other prisoners will be refered to as "Transmitters" Designate one of the switches as A and the other as B, i.e. decide that the left hand switch will be A. And then make sure everyone knows their left from their right -- they are students after all. When a Transmitter enters the room, s/he will take one of the following actions: If switch B is OFF and this person has never encountered switch B in the OFF position before, turn switch B ON. If switch B is ON, change the position of switch A. If switch B is OFF but this person has seen switch B in the OFF position on a previous visit, change the position of switch A. The Transmitters' job is to wait for that one occasion when they encounter switch B in the OFF position for the first time so that they can turn it on. When the Scorekeeper enters the room s/he takes one of the following actions: If switch B is ON, s/he turns it off and adds 1 to the score. If switch B is OFF, s/he changes the position of switch A and does NOT add to the score. When the score reaches 21, the Scorekeeper announces that all of the prisoners have visited the room at least once. I hope the warden takes the students who were convicted of watching Glee and throws them to the alligators anyway. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
 Equations/570028: x2-2x=48....i have to solve for x by completing the square..how do you do this? ^(squared)1 solutions Answer 367509 by solver91311(16877)   on 2012-02-08 21:20:07 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Step 1. Move the constant term to the right hand side. This step is already done. Step 2. Divide through by the lead coefficient. The lead coefficient in this problem is 1, so you can skip this step. Step 3. Divide the coefficient on the first degree term by 2. In this case, 2 divided by 2 is 1. Step 4. Square the result of Step 3. 1 squared is 1. Step 5. Add the result of Step 4 to both sides of the equation. Step 6. Factor the perfect square trinomial in the LHS: Step 7. Take the square root of both sides, considering both the positive and negative root: So or Step 8. Solve the two linear equations to get your two roots.

 Polygons/570021: If you were to place a rhombus in the coordinate plane so that its diagonals lie along the axes, what would be the coordinates of the vertices using as few variables as possible?1 solutions Answer 367505 by solver91311(16877)   on 2012-02-08 21:08:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rhombus diagonals bisect each other, so if the diagonals lie on the axes, then the opposite vertices (the endpoints of the diagonals) are equidistant from the origin. Further, the vertices must lie on the axes as well, so you only need two variables for the 4 vertices. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

At 9:30 am tomorrow, we open our doors for the last time. The price of every item in the store will be reduced 10% every hour, on the hour, beginning at 10am until everything goes, The stereo calvin would love to buy is$359 dollars.. Calvin has saved $270 for the stereo. Henry told calvin that at 11:01 am, the price of the stereo will be$287.20. Jacob says $290.79 will be the price. What might he expect the price to be at 11:01 and why? Henry claims that since the prices go down 105 every hour, after 10 hours, the stereo will be free. He tells calvin to arrive at the store at 8pm for a free stereo. Do you agree with Henry's reasoning? Explain why and why not. Sales tax is 6%. Assuming he gets no more money, explain to Calvin when he will be able to afford the stereo and how you figured this out. Be sure your work is shown in an organized format so that it can be easily followed THANKS SOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD1 solutions Answer 367317 by solver91311(16877) on 2012-02-07 21:49:41 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The total amount to be paid after the first 10% reduction (considering the 6% sales tax) is: The second hour or and, in general, after hours: Since Calvin's funds are limited to$270.00, we need to solve for and round up to the next higher integer. Take the natural log of both sides Use to write then Round up So the total amount will be less than Calvin's $270 right after the fourth hour. 10 is the first hour, 11 is the second hour... So Calvin needs to come in at 1:00 pm when the total amount will be: Which means that Calvin can go to lunch as long as he doesn't spend more than for his meal including tax and tip. The only flaw in Calvin's plan is: What if there are a limited number of these stereo sets -- a number less than or equal to the number of people who come in at noon with$280 in their pocket? In such an event, Calvin is out of luck. And by the way, Henry is an idiot. You take 10% off the CURRENT price, not the FULL price, each hour. Super Double Plus Extra Credit Theoretically, the price will never reach zero since after any reduction, 90 percent of the previous amount remains. However, a point will be reached eventually such that the total amount, including tax, will be reduced to an amount when rounded to the nearest one cent will be $0.00. Using the process outlined above, how many hours must elapse before he would actually receive the item absolutely free? Hint: What value of t makes the total price less than$0.005?
