Julia opened a new flower shop, and her daily sales are modeled by f(x) = 2(1.25)x. Determine the rate of growth.

A.2%
B.125%
C.75%
D.25%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  D.  25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Each day, Julia's sales are 1.25 times the previous day's sales. That is, 25% more than the day before. Julia's sales are increasing 25% per day.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

The correct answer is D.25%

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

f(x) = 2 * (1.25)^x

This is in the form

y = a b^x

where b is 1 plus the growth rate

b = 1.25 = 1+growth rate

1.25 = 1 + growth rate

.25 = growth rate

25% = growth rate

A bag contains purple marbles and blue marbles ,27 in total . The number of purple marbles is 3 less than 4 times the number of blue marbles . How many purple marbles are there

Answers

[tex]p+b=27\\p=4b-3\\\\4b-3+b=27\\5b=30\\b=6\\\\p+6=27\\p=21[/tex]

21

Final answer:

To determine the number of purple marbles, we can use a system of linear equations derived from the problem's conditions. Solving these gives us 21 purple marbles in the bag.

Explanation:

To solve the problem, let's denote the number of blue marbles as x and the number of purple marbles as y. According to the problem, the total number of marbles is 27, which is our first equation, x + y = 27. Additionally, the number of purple marbles is 3 less than 4 times the number of blue marbles, giving us a second equation, y = 4x - 3.

Now, we'll solve for x using substitution. We place the expression for y from the second equation into the first equation:

x + (4x - 3) = 27

5x - 3 = 27

5x = 30

x = 6

Since x is 6, we can find y by substituting back into the second equation:

y = 4(6) - 3

y = 24 - 3

y = 21

There are therefore 21 purple marbles in the bag.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = number of rides

total amount of money spent has to be less than  or equal to 50

costs are admission and food and rides

rides cost 1.50 each

50≥ admission + food + rides

50 ≥ 15 +10 + 1.50r

Combine like terms

50 ≥25 + 1.50 r

Subtract 25 from each side

50-25 ≥25-25 + 1.50 r

25  ≥ 1.50 r

Divide by 1.5 on each side

25/1.5 ≥ 1.5r/1.5

50/3  ≥ r

Changing this to a mixed number

16 2/3  ≥r

We can only take a whole number of rides

r = 16

Beverly has not spent all of her 50 dollars since there was a fraction for the rides

cost =  15 +10 + 1.50r

        15+10 + 1.5*16

            25+24

She has 1 dollar left

Which set of numbers can represent the side lengths, in millimeters, of an obtuse triangle?A. 8, 10, 14B. 9, 12, 15C. 10, 14, 17D. 12, 15, 19

Answers

Answer:

  A.  8, 10, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rough cut, a triangle will be obtuse if the longest side is about 1.4 or more times the length of the second-longest side. This derives from the relationship in an isosceles right triangle, where the hypotenuse is √2 ≈ 1.414 times the length of the two equal-length sides. If one side is shorter than the other, and the hypotenuse is still 1.414 times the length of the second-longest side, then the triangle is no longer a right triangle, but is an obtuse triangle.

Here, the first selection has a middle-length side of 10 and a longest side of 14, about 1.4 times 10. It is an obtuse triangle.

_____

More rigorously, you can see if the sum of the squares of the short sides is less than the square of the longest side. If so, the triangle is obtuse. (The Law of Cosines will tell you the angle opposite the longest side must have a negative cosine, so must be greater than 90°.)

Our answer choices are ...

  A. 8^2 + 10^2 = 164 < 14^2 = 196 . . . . . obtuse

  B. 9^2 + 12^2 = 225 = 15^2 . . . . . . . . . . right

  C. 10^2 +14^2 = 296 > 17^2 = 289 . . . . . acute

4. The cosine function can be made to have the same values as the sine function for each angle by including a shifted _______ in the calculation.

A. amplitude
B. wavelength
C. period
D. phase

Answers

Answer: Option D

phase

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the cosine function has the following form

[tex]y = cos (x - \phi)[/tex]

Where [tex]\phi[/tex] is known as the phase angle

By definition the sinx function is equal to the cosx function with a phase shift of [tex]\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

So if we have the function

[tex]y = cos (x - \phi)[/tex] and we want to transform it into the function [tex]y=sin(x)[/tex] then [tex]\phi = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

Finally

[tex]y = cos(x - \frac{\pi}{2})=sin(x)[/tex]

the answer is the option D

Final answer:

The cosine function aligns with the sine function by introducing a phase shift, typically represented by phi (φ), indicating that D. phase is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The cosine function can be made to have the same values as the sine function for each angle by including a shifted phase in the calculation. This shift is referred to as a phase shift and is typically represented by the Greek letter phi (φ).

In the context of trigonometric functions, a phase shift will slide one function over to match that of another.

Specifically, when the sine function is shifted left by 90 degrees (π/2 radians), it aligns perfectly with the cosine function, indicating that the sine and cosine are out of phase by 90 degrees.

Thus, the correct answer is D. phase.

A rectangle has a length of 9 centimeters and a width of x centimeters. The perimeter of the rectangle is 28 centimeters. What is the value of x?

NEED HELP!!

Answers

Answer:

x=5

Knowing that the length of the rectangle is 9, we can simply multiply this by 2 since there are two sides that will equal the same. This gets us 18. If we subtract that from 28, we get 10. There are four sides in a rectangle, meaning we have two sides left. This leaves us to divide 10 by two to get a final answer of the width of the retangle being 5 centimeters.

Final answer:

The value of x, which represents the width of the rectangle, can be found by inserting the given length and perimeter into the perimeter formula of a rectangle, P = 2L + 2W. Then, solve for W to get the value of x.

Explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is to understand the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. This formula is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length and W is the width. We know that the length (L) is 9 cm and the perimeter (P) is 28 cm based on the problem given. We are looking to find the value for x which represents the width (W).

Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
28 = 2(9) + 2W.

This simplifies to:
28 = 18 + 2W.

Now, let's solve for W by subtracting 18 from both sides of the equation:
10 = 2W.

To isolate W, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
W = 5
So, the value of x, which represents the width of the rectangle, is 5 cm.

What is the vertex of the parabola defined by the equation

A.
(-12, 2)
B.
(2, 2)
C.
(6, 2)
D.
(2, -2)

Answers

Answer:

The vertex of the parabola is (2 , 2) ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the equation of a parabola

- The equation is in the form (x − h)² = 4p (y − k), where h and k are the

 vertex of the parabola

- If  p > 0, the parabola opens up  

- If p < 0, the parabola opens down

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The equation of the parabola is (x - h)² = 4p (y - k)

∵ The equation of the parabola is (x - 2)² = -12 (y - 2)

- By comparing the two equations

∴ 4p = -12 ⇒ divide both sides by 4

∴ p = -3 ⇒ -3 < 0

∵ p < 0

∴ The parabola opens down

- From the two equations

∴ h = 2 ⇒ the x-coordinate of the vertex

∴ k = 2 ⇒ the y-coordinate of the vertex

∴ The vertex of the parabola is (2 , 2)

The vertex of the given parabola (x - 2)^2 = -12(y - 2) is at the point (2, 2), which corresponds to Option B.

The vertex of the parabola defined by the equation (x - 2)^2 = -12(y - 2) can be found by identifying the point (h, k), where the equation fits the general form (x \\- h)^2 = 4p(y \\- k). Here, h and k represent the coordinates of the vertex, and p indicates the distance from the vertex to the focus or directrix. The given equation can be rearranged to match the general form with h = 2 and k = 2, making the vertex (2, 2). Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

If the graphs of the lines in the system of equations above the intersect at (-3,1), what is the value of K/H?

A) 3/2
B) 2
C) 3
D) 6

Answers

Answer:

h = 2 and k = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines intersect at (- 3, 1) then this is the solution to the system of equations.

That is x = - 3 and y = 1

Substitute these values into the equations and solve for h and k

hx - 4y = - 10

- 3h - 4 = - 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

- 3h = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

h = 2

Similarly

kx + 3y = - 15

- 3k + 3 = - 15 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- 3k = - 18 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

k = 6
