If prices increase at a monthly rate of 0.5%, by what percentage do they increase in a year?

What is the formula to solve?

Answers

Answer 1
it will increase by 60% and multiply 0.5 by 12 = 60
Answer 2

We have been given that prices increase at a monthly rate of 0.5%.

Number of months in a year = 12

Let us suppose the item cost $1, then the percentage is given by

[tex]P=P_0(1+r)^n\\ \\ P=1(1+0.005)^{12}\\ \\ P=1.062[/tex]\\

Therefore, increase in a year is

[tex]1.062-1\\ =0.062[/tex]

Therefore, the required percentage in a year is 6.2%

A store sells 48 count packages of Snickers candy bars for $27.50 per package, and 36 count packages of KitKat bars for $21.50 per package. Mrs. Sweettooth bought total of 204 Snickers and KitKat bars in the store and paid $119.50. How many of each candy bars did she buy?

Answers

Final answer:

To find out how many Snickers and KitKat bars Mrs. Sweettooth bought, we can solve a system of equations using the count and cost information.

Explanation:

Let's assume that Mrs. Sweettooth bought x packages of Snickers and y packages of KitKat bars.

From the given information, we can set up two equations:

48x + 36y = 204 (equation 1) - representing the total count of candy bars27.50x + 21.50y = 119.50 (equation 2) - representing the total cost of the candy bars

To solve this system of equations, we can use a method called substitution:

Rearrange equation 1 to solve for x: x = (204 - 36y)/48Substitute the value of x in equation 2: 27.50[(204 - 36y)/48] + 21.50y = 119.50Simplify and solve for yOnce y is found, substitute its value back into equation 1 to find the value of x

By solving this system of equations, we can determine the number of Snickers and KitKat bars that Mrs. Sweettooth bought.

if the leg of a right triangle are 3 ft and the 4ft the length of the hypotenuse is

Answers

Since the triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
The Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Plug in the leg lengths and solve.

    a² + b² = c²
    3² + 4² = c²
    9 + 16 = c²
          25 = c²
            5 = c

Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 5 ft.
The hypotenuse would be 5 because it is one of the Pythagoream Theorem triplets. 

The length of the major axis of the ellipse below is 14, and the length of the red line segment is 3. how long is the blue line segment?

Answers

Apex the answer is 11.

The length of the blue line segment is 11 units.

What is relation between sum of the distance of a point from the focus of ellipse and the length of major axis?

For any point P on an ellipse, the sum of the distances from P to the two foci is equal to the length of the major axis of the ellipse. This is known as the "distance property" of an ellipse.

To see why this is true, consider an ellipse with foci F₁ and F₂ and major axis length 2a. Let P be any point on the ellipse, and let D₁ and D₂ be the distances from P to F₁ and F₂, respectively. Then, by definition of an ellipse, we know that:

D₁+ D₂ = 2a

Given that,

Two line segments

Red segments of length = 3 unit

So from the definition we know that,

The sum of segments = the length of major axis

The length of major axis  =  2a

2a  = D₁+ D₂

14=  3 + D₂

D₂ =  11

Therefore, the length of the blue line segment is 11 units.

Answers

To solve the problem shown in the figure attached, you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that the equation for calculate the area of a circle is:

 A=πr²

 2. You have that the formula for calculate the diameter of a circle is:

 d=2r

 Therefore, the radius is r=d/2

 where r is the radius of the circle

 3. Keeping the information above on mind, you have the correct sequence of the equations by clearing the diameter d, is shown below:

 A=π(d/2)²
 A=πd²/4
 4A=πd²
 d²=4A/π
 d√(4A/π)

 Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:

 A=π(d/2)²
 A=πd²/4
 4A=πd²
 d²=4A/π

At one​ store, Julia saved ​$10 with a coupon for 40​% off her total purchase. At another​ store, the ​$29 she spent on books is 58​% of her total bill. How much did Julia spend in all at the two​ stores?

Answers

Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
  0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
  (original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
  a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
  a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00

At the other store,
  $29 = 0.58b
  $29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate

Then Julia's total spending is
  a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00

Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.

Show that the curvex = 2 cos t, y = 3 sin t cos t has two tangents at (0, 0) and find their equations.

Answers

This is the case of parametric derivatives in which x and y are expressed as functions of a variable t.

The first derivative implies that:

[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ \frac{dy}{dt} }{ \frac{dx}{dt} } [/tex]

So we need to find both derivatives as functions of the variable t, then:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 3[cos(t)cos(t)+sin(t)(-sin(t))][/tex]
[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 3[cos^{2} (t)-sin^{2} (t)][/tex]

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = -2sin(t)[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3[cos^{2} (t)-sin^{2} (t)]}{2sin(t)}[/tex]

At (0,0) [tex]x=0[/tex] and [tex]y=0[/tex], so:

[tex] \left \{ {{0=2cos(t)} \atop {0=3sin(t)cos(t)}} \right.[/tex]
∴[tex] \left \{ {{cos(t)=0} \atop {sin(t)cos(t)=0}} \right.[/tex]

There are two values between -π and π which satisfy these equations simultaneously, namely:
[tex]t =[/tex] π/2
[tex]t =[/tex] -π/2

The equation of a straight line given a point and its slope is
[tex]y - y_{0} = m(x- x_{0} )[/tex]

Given that the point is (0,0), then the equation can be written as:
[tex]y = mx [/tex]

So we will find two straight lines:
[tex] \left \{ {{y= m_{1}x } \atop {y= m_{2}x }} \right. [/tex]

For [tex]t = \pi /2[/tex]:

[tex] m_{1}= \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3[cos^{2} ( \pi /2)-sin^{2} ( \pi /2)]}{2sin( \pi /2)} = \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

For [tex]t = -\pi /2[/tex]:

[tex]m_{2}= \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3[cos^{2} ( -\pi /2)-sin^{2} ( -\pi /2)]}{2sin(- \pi /2)} = -\frac{3}{2} [/tex]

Lastly:
[tex]\left \{ {{y= \frac{3}{2} x } \atop {y= -\frac{3}{2} x }} \right. [/tex]

Answers

The enrollees of a particular university have an average application test score of 1225 with a standard deviation of 120. In the first semester, the average number of students was 2.64, the standard deviation was 0.58. The scatter plot showed that it was rational linear and the correlation between application test score and gpa was 0.44. Predictive test score for freshmen who achieved the first sem

Using the correlation coefficient, mean test scores, and mean GPA, we can predict that a freshman with a GPA of 2.9 would have an approximate combined test score of 1260.71.

Since we know the mean combined application test score is 1225, the standard deviation is 120, the mean GPA is 2.64, and the standard deviation for GPA is 0.58, we can use this information to predict scores.

First, we will use the correlation coefficient (r), which in this case is 0.44, to calculate the slope (b) of the best-fit line. The slope (b) is calculated by dividing the product of the standard deviations by the mean test score, and then multiplying by the correlation coefficient.

b = r * (Sy / Sx)
b = 0.44 * (0.58 / 120)
b = 0.44 * 0.0048333
b ≈ 0.0021

Next, we need to find the intercept (a) of the best-fit line, which can be calculated using the means of the two variables (mean test score and mean GPA).

a = mean of GPA - b * mean of test scores
a = 2.64 - 0.0021 * 1225
a ≈ 0.10

With the slope (b) and the intercept (a), we can now predict the combined test score for a student with a GPA of 2.9.

Predicted Test Score = a + b * GPA
Predicted Test Score = 0.10 + 0.0021 * 2.9
Predicted Test Score ≈ 1260.71

Thus, for a freshman with a first-semester GPA of 2.9, the predicted combined test score would be approximately 1260.71.

When a number is added to or subtracted from a function it moves it vertically up or down.

G(x) is obtained by subtracting 3 from F(x). This means G(x) is obtained by vertical translation of F(x). Since 3 is subtracted from F(x), the vertical translation is downwards.

So, we can say: G(x) is obtained by moving F(x) 3 units vertically down.
