Answer 1
[tex]Answer\colon54^o\text{ 9' 28.8''}[/tex]

Convert 54.158 degrees

Firstly, Use the whole number as degree

54 degree

to convert to minutes

(54.548 - 54) x 60

= 0.158 x 60

= 9 minutes

To convert to seconds

(54.158 - 54 - 9/60) x 3600

= (0.158 - 0.15) x 3600

= 0.008 x 3600

= 28.8 seconds

This can be written as

[tex]54^o\text{ 9' 28.8''}[/tex]

Kim bought new shoes and used a 12% off coupon. The original cost of the shoe is represented as s. The total amount Kim paid for the shoes is represented as s-0.12s= s, which means that _______ of 12% is the same as ___

Answers

The difference s - 0.12s is equal to 0.88s. So, the first blank has to be 0.88.

The second blank is "decrease", and the last one is "multiplying by 0.88" because the difference is actually equivalent to 0.88s.

If f(x) =(if necessary)?(x-76what is the value of f(3), to the nearest thousandth

Answers

The function we have is:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{\sqrt[]{x}-7}{6}[/tex]

And we need to find the value of f(3).

To solve this problem and find f(x), we need to substitute x=3 into the given function.

• Substituting x=3 into f(x) to find f(3):

[tex]f(3)=\frac{\sqrt[]{3}-7}{6}[/tex]

And now, we start solving the operations.

Since the square root of 3 is equal to 1.732:

[tex]f(3)=\frac{1.732-7}{6}[/tex]

Substracting 7:

[tex]f(3)=\frac{-5.268}{6}[/tex]

And finally, dividing by 6:

[tex]f(3)=-0.878[/tex]

To round to the nearest thousandth we need to round to 3 decimal places, which in this case we already have, thus, the final answer is:

[tex]-0.878[/tex]

Suppose that the demand and supply for artificial Christmas trees is given by the functions below where p is the price of a tree in dollars and q is the quantity of trees that are demanded/supplied in hundreds. Find the price that gives the market equilibrium price and the number of trees that will be sold/bought at this price.p=109.70−0.10q (demand function)p=0.01q2+5.91 (supply function)

Answers

The equilibrium price is the price at which the demand function is equal to the supply function.

Hence it is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 109.70-0.10q=0.01q^2+5.91 \\ 0.01q^2+0.10q-103.79=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solve the quadratic equation to get:

q=97,-107.

Now the quantity cannot be negative hence the value of q=97. Hence 97 hundred trees is the demand.

The equilibrium price is given by:

[tex]p=109.70-0.10q=100\text{ dollars}[/tex]

Hence Option A is correct and the boxes to be filled is given by the statement given below:

The equilibrium price of $100 gives a demand that is equal to a supply of 97 hundred trees.

write a cubic function with the three open blue points as roots

Answers

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided points, we are going to write a cubic function with these points as roots, so we have this:

The factored function will be equal to the multiplication of three binomials, where the first term will be x and the second will be each root with an inverse sign. Then we have:

[tex]f(x)=\mleft(x+2\mright)\mleft(x-2\mright)\mleft(x-6\mright)[/tex]

Now we are going to operate each term to obtain the expanded function:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=x^2x+x^2\mleft(-6\mright)-4x-4\mleft(-6\mright) \\ f(x)=x^3-6x^2-4x+24 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Which of the following equations is the translation 2 units down of the graph of y = Ixl?y = |x - 2|y = |x + 2|y = |xl - 2y = Ixl + 2

Answers

Answer:

y = | x | - 2

Explanation:

If we have a function g(x) = f(x) + c, we can say that g(x) is a translation of c units up or down of f(x)

If c is negative, the translation is c units down.

Therefore, the translation of 2 units down of the graph y = | x | is:

y = | x | - 2

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. Suppose you decide to play a game using only half of a standard deck. If you draw one card at a time from the half-deck, without replacement, how many different ways can you draw all of the cards? Remember that "without replacement" means that the cards are not returned to the deck after they are chosen. Write your answer in factorial notation.

Answers

We are asked to determine in how many ways we can draw all of the cards in half a deck. Since in a deck there are 52 cards, in half a deck there are:

[tex]n=\frac{52}{2}=26[/tex]

The number of ways in which the cards can be drawn is equivalent to the number of permutations. And this is equivalent to:

[tex]P=n![/tex]

Where "p" is the number of permutations and n! is the factorial of the number of cards in half a deck. Substituting the values we get:

[tex]P=26![/tex]

Solving the operations:

[tex]P=403291461126605635584000000[/tex]

Thus we determine the number of ways the cards can be drawn.

which graph represents the inequalities.2x+y>4. i attatched the graphs below.

Answers

Answer:

Explanations:

According to the given question, you are to find the graph that represents the inequality 2x+y>4.

First, we need to find the x and y-intercept of the line.

For x-intercept

x-intercept occurs at the point where y = 0.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+y=4 \\ 2x+0=4 \\ 2x=4 \\ x=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the x-intercept occur at (2, 0)

For the y-intercept

y-intercept occurs at the point where x = 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(0)+y=4 \\ y=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the y-intercept s at (0, 4)

To get the correct graph, we will look at the line that has an x-intercept at (2, 0) and y-inercept at (0, 4)

What is 32/3 as a proper fraction also I am gay if you don't agree don't help and my name is Oliver

Answers

A fraction can be proper or improper.

When a fraction is proper, the numerator is less than the denominator, and therefore, the fraction is less than unity. For example:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}=0.75<1[/tex]

When a fraction is improper the numerator is greater than the denominator and therefore the fraction is greater than unity. For example:

[tex]\frac{9}{5}=1.8>1[/tex]

So, in this case, you have

[tex]\frac{32}{3}=10.67>1[/tex]

Then, as you can see 32/3 is an improper fraction.

To take it to a proper fraction, you can convert this fraction into a mixed number.

A mixed number is made up of an integer part and a proper fraction.

So, you have

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{3}=\frac{10\cdot3+2}{3}=\frac{10\cdot3}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=10+\frac{2}{3}=10\frac{2}{3} \\ \text{ Then,} \\ \frac{32}{3}=10\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, 32/2 as a proper fraction will be
