The discount price of a book is 20% less than the
retail price. James manages to purchase the book
at 30% off the discount price at a special book
sale. What percent of the retail price did James
pay?
A) 42%
B) 48%
C) 50%
D) 56%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let retail be $100

At 20% discount

(100-20)% * 100

0.8*100

$80

At 30% discount

(100-30)%* 80

$56

Answer 2

Using the percentage relationship between cost, the book was purchased at 56% of the retail price.

Let :

Retail price = r

Discount price = 0.8r

Special sale price :

30% off discount price

(1 - 0.30) × 0.8r

0.70 × 0.80r = 0.56r

Hence, the book was purchased at 56% of the retail price.

3. The sequence 6, 18, 54, 162, … shows the number of pushups Kendall did each week, starting with her first week of exercising. (a) What is the recursive rule for the sequence? (b) What is the iterative rule for the sequence?

Answers

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) What is the recursive rule for the sequence?

Given the sequence

6, 18, 54, 162,...

Please note that each successive term is 3 times the previous term.

i.e. 18 = 6×3, 54 = 18×3, 162 = 54×3

Here, r = 3 is the common multiplier

In other words, every next term can be obtained by multiplying the previous term by a number 'r', using the recursive formula

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}\times r[/tex]

Here, aₙ is r times the previous term aₙ₋1.

For example, in order to determine the 2nd term a₂, just put n=2 in the recursive formula

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}\times r[/tex]

so substituting r = 3, and n = 1 in the recursive formula

[tex]a_2=a_{2-1}\times 3[/tex]

[tex]a_2=a_1\times \:3\:\:\:\:\:\:[/tex]

as

a₁ = 6

so

[tex]a_2=6\times \:3\:\:\:\:\:\:[/tex]

[tex]a_2=18[/tex]

(b) What is the iterative rule for the sequence?

Given the sequence

6, 18, 54, 162,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined as

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{18}{6}=3,\:\quad \frac{54}{18}=3,\:\quad \frac{162}{54}=3[/tex]

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to, so

r = 3

as

a₁ = 6

so substituting r = 3 and a₁ = 6 in the nth term of the sequence

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n=6\cdot \:3^{n-1}[/tex]

Thus, the iterative rule for the sequence is

[tex]a_n=6\cdot \:3^{n-1}[/tex]

a) The recursive rule for the sequence is [tex]a_n=3a_{n-1}[/tex]

b) The iterative rule for the sequence is [tex]a_n=2(3^n)[/tex]

The given sequence is:

6, 18, 54, 162, …

The common ratio, r = 18/6

r  =  3

Let the last term be [tex]a_n[/tex]

Let the preceding term be [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex]

The recursive rule for the sequence is given as:

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}r\\\\a_n=3a_{n-1}[/tex]

b) The iterative rule is gotten by using the formula:

[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Substitute a = 6 and r = 3 into the formula above

[tex]a_n=6(3)^{n-1}\\\\a_n=\frac{6}{3}(3^n )\\\\a_n=2(3^n)[/tex]

El método de Descartes para determinar tangentes se basa en la idea de que para muchas gráficas, la recta tangente en un punto dado es una recta "única" que intersecta la gráfica solamente en ese punto. Aplicaremos ese método para determinar la ecuación de una recta tangente a la parábola y=x^2 en el punto (2,4).
Primero, sabemos que la ecuación de la recta tangente debe tener la forma de y=mx+b. Usando el hecho de que el punto (2,4) está en la recta, podemos resolver para b en términos de m y obtener la ecuación y=mx+ (4-2m). Ahora queremos que (2,4) sea la "única" solución del sistema
{ y=x^2
y=mx+4-2m
De este sistema obtenemos x^2-mx+(2m-4)=0. Usando la fórmula cuadrática obtenemos
m+- √(m^2-4(2m-4))
x= --------------------------------

Para obtener una solución única para x, las dos raíces deben ser iguales, en otras palabras, el discriminante m^2-4(2m-4) debe ser 0. Completa el trabajo para obtener m y escribe una ecuación de la recta tangente

Answers

Answer:

Ver desarrollo en los parrafos que siguen

Step-by-step explanation:

El problema describe todos los pasos para llegar al sistema the equaciones:

y = x^2

y = m x + 4 - 2 m

Luego igualamos las cantidades 'y" y llegamos a la siguiente ecuacion cuadratica en "x":

x^2 = m x + 4 - 2m

luego restamos "m x" y "4" de ambos lados, y sumamos "2 m" de ambos lados para terminar con una ecuacion cuadratica igualada a cero para poder aplicar la equacion cuadratica

x^2 - m x - 4 + 2 m = 0

similar a:

a x^2  + b x + c = 0

donde

a = 1; b = "-m"; y c = "2 m - 4"

Luego usando la ecuacion cuadratica:

nos da de resultado:

[tex]x=\frac{m+/-\sqrt{m^2-4(1)(2m-4)} }{2(1)}[/tex]

Y para que la solucion sea UNICA, es necesario que la cantidad dentro de la raiz sea "cero" de modo que de solamente la solucion

x = m/2

Ahora, requiriendo que el determinante the la ecuacion cuadratica sea cero es:

[tex]m^2-4(2m-4)=0\\m^2-8m+16=0\\(m-4)^2=0\\m-4=0\\m=4[/tex]

ya que reconocemos que el trinomio m^2-8m+16 es un binomio quadrado perfecto; (m-4)^2

Y pidiendo que that binomio quadrado sea cero, es lo mismo que requerir que el binomio (m-4) sea cero, lo que significa que m = 4.

De esta manera, obtuvimos la pendiente "m" de nuestra recta:

y = m x + b

y = 4 x + b

Y como conociamos el valor de "b" usando el hecho de que el punto (2, 4) esta en la recta:

4 = 4 (2) + b

4 = 8 + b

4 - 8 = b

b = -4

Por lo tanto, la ecuacion dela recta es:

y = 4 x - 4

a coffee supplier finds that it cost $850 to roast and package 100 pounds of coffee in a day and $2850 to produce 500 pounds of coffee in a day. assume that the cost function is linear. express the cost as a function of the number of pounds of coffee they produce each day

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 5x + 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Create 2 points using the information given, where x is the number of pounds of coffee and y is the cost.

The 2 points are (100, 850) and (500, 2850)

Then, use rise over run to find the slope:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(2850 - 850) / (500 - 100)

2000 / 400

= 5

Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to find b:

y = mx + b

850 = 5(100) + b

850 = 500 + b

350 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b to get the equation:

y = 5x + 350

Put it into function form:

f(x) = 5x + 350 is the cost function

21. Transportation A youth group with 26 members is going skiing. Each of the five
chaperones will drive a van or sedan. The vans can seat seven people, and the
sedans can seat five people. Assuming there are no empty seats, how many of each
type of vehicle could transport all 31 people to the ski area in one trip?

Answers

Answers:

2 sedans and 3 vans

=====================================================

Work Shown:

s = number of sedans

v = number of vans

1 sedan = 5 seats

s sedans = 5s seats

1 van = 7 seats

v vans = 7v seats

5s+7v = all seats

5s+7v = 31

Let's go through all the values of s to see which values of v work.

If s = 0, then the equation turns into 7v = 31, but the solution for v isn't an integer.If s = 1, then the equation turns into 5+7v = 31 and that solves to v = 26/7 = 3.71 which also isn't an integerIf s = 2, then the equation becomes 10+7v = 31 and that solves to v = 3. So we found the answer. This means we need 2 sedans and 3 vans.

As a check:

2 sedans = 5*2 = 10 seats

3 vans = 7*3 = 21 seats

10+21 = 31 seats total

This confirms the answer.

The number of vans used is three and the number of sedans is two

Let :

v represent the number of vans

s represent the number of sedans

The following equations can be gotten

7v + 5s = 31 equation 1

v + s = 5 equation 2

The elimination method would be used to solve for v and s

Multiply equation 2 by 7

7v + 7s = 35 equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 3

2s = 4

s = 4/2

s = 2

Substitute for s in equation 2

v + 2 = 5

v = 5 - 2

v = 3

Given the third term is 12 and the rate of change is 3. What is the 5th term

Answers

Answer:

The 5th term:

a₅ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Arithmetic sequences have a constant rate of change.

Given

a₃ = 12common difference = rate pf change = d = 3

The nth term of the Arithmetic sequence with a₁ and 'd' is defined as

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

Where

a₁ is the first term

d is the common difference

as

a₃ = 12

d = 3

so

Plug in n=3

a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d

Now Plug in a₃ = 12 and d = 3

12 = a₁ + (3-1)3

12 = a₁ + 2(3)

12 = a₁ + 6

a₁ = 6

so

Formula to find the 5th term

a₅ = a₁ + 4d

Plug in a₁ = 6 and d = 3

a₅ = 6 + 4(3)

a₅ = 18

Therefore, the 5th term:

a₅ = 18

It was a bumper crop for hominy this year, and The Hominy Man hoped to set a price for a case that can maximize profit. The annual fixed cost for the hominy harvesting and other equipment is $200 and the variable cost per case is $20. The price (p) is related to demand (v) according to the following equation: v = 800 - 16p. To maximize the profit, the optimal price of a case should be_____. The maximized profit is_____.

Answers

Answer:

optimal price = $35

Maximum profit = $3400

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

The annual fixed cost for the hominy harvesting and other equipment = $200

The variable cost per case = $20

Since demand is given as v, thus total variable cost = 20v

Thus;

Overall total cost = fixed cost + total variable cost = 200 + 20v

We are given relationship between p and v as;

v = 800 - 16p

Making p the subject gives;

p = (800 - v)/16

Now, total revenue is given by;

Total Revenue = vp

Thus;

Total revenue = v[(800 - v)/16] = 50v - v²/16

Now, profit will be;

Profit(P) = Total revenue - total cost

P = (50v - v²/16) - (200 + 20v)

P = 50v - (v²/16) - 200 - 20v

P = 30v - (v²/16) - 200

Maximum profit will be at dP/dv = 0

Thus;

dP/dv = 30 - (v/8)

At dP/dv = 0

30 - (v/8) = 0

v/8 = 30

v = 30 × 8

v = 240

Optimal price will be gotten by putting 240 for v in the price equation which is p = (800 - v)/16.

Thus;

p = (800 - 240)/16

p = 560/16

p = $35

So, optimal price = $35

Maximum profit will be at v = 240.so let's plug in 240 for v into the profit equation.

Thus;

P = 30(240) - (240²/16) - 200

P = 3400

Maximum profit = $3400
