A plant costs p dollars and a bush costs b dollars. Ana buys 2 plants and 4 bushes for $42. Paola buys 7 plants and 9 bushes for $107. Write down a pair of simultaneous equations and solve them to find out the value of p and the value of b.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2p + 4b = 42

7p + 9b = 107

p = $5

b = $8

Step-by-step explanation:

p is cost of plant, b is cost of bush

2p + 4b = 42

7p + 9b = 107

First we'll solve the first equation for p in terms of b:

2p + 4b = 42

subtract 4b from both sides

2p = -4b + 42

divide both sides by 2

p = -2b + 21

Now substitute that value in for p in the second equation, and solve for a numerical value of b:

7(-2b + 21) + 9b = 107

-14b + 147 + 9b = 107

combine like terms:

-5b = -40

b = 8

Use this to go back and solve for p:

p = -2b + 21

p = -2(8) + 21

p = -16 + 21 = 5

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

check the math:

2p + 4b = 42

2(5) + 4(8) = 10 + 32 = 42

John finances his daughter's college education by making deposits into a fund earning interest at an annual effective rate of 8%. For 18 years he deposits X at the beginning of each month. In the 16th through the 19th years, he makes a withdrawal of 25,000 at the beginning of each year. The final withdrawal reduces the fund balance to zero. Calculate X.

Answers

Answer:

Monthly payment = 241.925

Step-by-step explanation:

Effective interest rate is the actual interest paid at the end of the year AFTER compounding.  Most credit cards charge x% ("APR", annual percentage rate)annually.  Since it is compounded monthly, each month the balance increases by (x//12)%, and by the end of the year, you will be paying effectively (x//12)^12 %, which is the effective interest rate.

Here, effective (annual) interest rate is 8%.  We need the monthly rate, i.

(1+i)^12 = 1.08

Solving, we have i = 0.6434% monthly approximately

To balance the deposits and withdrawals, we note that the last withdrawal is the beginning of year 19, and the last deposit is the last month of year 18.  We therefore conclude that the "future values" fall on the same day, and that they are equal.

We consider the annual deposits D (accumulated at the end of the year, and annual withdrawals W are in separate accounts.  By the end of the operations, one will balance the other (they are equal).

We will need the following formula to calculate future value F given the periodic amount, A, interest rate per period, i, and the number of periods.

F(A,i,n) = A*((1+i)^n-1)/i

Step 1:

calculate the future value of the withdrawals

A = W = 25000 (annual withdrawal)

i = 8% (effective annual interest)

n = 4 years (beginning of 16,17,18,and 19th years)

F(A,i,n) = A*((1+i)^n-1)/i

= 25000( (1+0.08)^4 - 1)/(0.08)

= 112652.80

This is also the total deposit after eighteen years.

Step 2:

calculate the future value of the annual deposits D

A = D (total of annual deposits)

i = 8% (effective annual interest)

n = 18 years

Future value of deposits

F(A,i,n) = A*((1+i)^n-1)/i

= D( (1+0.08)^18 -1 ) / 0.08

= 37.45024373981167D

Since this must equal the total withdrawal, we equate the two to calculate D.

37.45024373981167D=112652.80

and solve for D

D = 112652.80 / 37.45024373981167

= $3008.0659

Step 3

Calculate monthly deposit, X

Effective interest rate is the actual interest paid at the end of the year AFTER compounding.  Most credit cards charge x% ("APR", annual percentage rate)annually.  Since it is compounded monthly, each month the balance increases by (x//12)%, and by the end of the year, you will be paying effectively (x//12)^12 %, which is the effective interest rate.

Here, effective (annual) interest rate is 8%.  We need the monthly rate, i.

(1+i)^12 = 1.08

The actual monthly interest rate is therefore

i = 1.08^(1/12)-1

Over a 12 month period, (one year), the monthly amount X to accumulate an annual amount D (=$3008.0659) is therefore given by

D = X*((1+i)^n-1)/i

3008.0659 = X*(1.08-1)/(1.08^(1/12)-1)

or the monthly amount

X = $3008.0659 / ( 1.08^(1/12)-1)

= 241.925 per month.

Xavier shoots a basketball in which the height, in feet, is modeled by the equation, h(t) = -4t^2+10t +18, where t is time, in
seconds. What is the maximum height of the basketball?

Answers

Answer:

h = 24.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Xavier shoots a basketball in which the height, in feet, is modeled by the equation.

[tex]h(t) = -4t^2+10t +18[/tex] ....(1)

For maximum height,

Put dh/dt=0

So,

[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}(-4t^2+10t +18)\\\\=-8t+10[/tex]

So,

-8t = -10

t =1.25s

Put t = 1.25 s in equation (1)

[tex]h(t) = -4(1.25)^2+10(1.25) +18\\\\=24.25\ feet[/tex]

So, the maximum height of the basketball is equal to 24.25 feet.

32/2=16, 20 would be the hypotenuse, so it would be 20^2-16^2=a^2 because we want to find the middle line. 400-256=144. sqrt(144) = 12.

Then since it is an isosceles triangle, we can simply do 12*16=192

The answer for 7 is 192ft^2

For #8, the answer is short leg * sqrt(3) = long leg

On another note, you can find the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 triangle by doubling the shortest leg

Using the equation
[tex] \sqrt{x + 7} + 5 = x[/tex]
, are both x = 2 and x = 9 solutions or are one/both of them extraneous solutions? Explain.​

Answers

Given:

The equation is:

[tex]\sqrt{x+7}+5=x[/tex]

To find:

Whether [tex]x=2[/tex] and [tex]x=9[/tex] both are solutions or one/both of them extraneous solutions.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]\sqrt{x+7}+5=x[/tex]

Subtract 5 from both sides.

[tex]\sqrt{x+7}=x-5[/tex]

Taking square on both sides, we get

[tex]x+7=(x-5)^2[/tex]

[tex]x+7=x^2-10x+25[/tex]

[tex]0=x^2-10x+25-x-7[/tex]

[tex]0=x^2-11x+18[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]x^2-2x-9x+18=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x-2)-9(x-2)=0[/tex]

[tex](x-2)(x-9)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=2,9[/tex]

Now, substitute [tex]x=2[/tex] in the given equation.

[tex]\sqrt{2+7}+5=2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{9}+5=2[/tex]

[tex]3+5=2[/tex]

[tex]8=2[/tex]

This statement is false because [tex]8\neq 2[/tex]. So, 2 is an extraneous solution.

Substitute [tex]x=9[/tex] in the given equation.

[tex]\sqrt{9+7}+5=9[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{16}+5=9[/tex]

[tex]4+5=9[/tex]

[tex]9=9[/tex]

This statement is true. So, 9 is a solution of given equation.

Therefore, 2 is an extraneous solution and 9 is a solution of given equation.

What are parallel lines?

"These are the lines in the same plane that are at equal distance from each other and never meet."

What is transversal?

"It is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points."

What are corresponding angles?

"The angles which are formed in matching corners or corresponding corners with the transversal when the transversal intersects two parallel lines."

For given question,

Line c and line d are parallel lines.

These parallel lines are intersected by a transversal.

We can observe that ∠2 and the angle that measures 75° are corresponding angles.

We know that the corresponding angles are congruent.

⇒ ∠2 = 75°

Also, the sum of all angles on either side of the line is 180°

⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°

⇒ ∠1 + 75° = 180°

⇒ ∠1 = 105°

Therefore, ∠1 = 105° and ∠2 = 75°
