Suppose you pay $24 for a pair of shoes that has been discounted 20%. What is the original price of the shoes? Show how you identify what you are looking for, set up an equation, arrive at your answer, and check your work. Then clearly state your answer.

Answers

Answer 1
The discount rate is 20% so 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price is the final price (before taxes)

x = original price before discount
y = price after discount (before taxes)

y = 80% of x
y = 0.80*x
24 = 0.80*x
24/0.80 = x
30 = x
x = 30

The original price of the shoes was $30

Why do clouds tend to form around 3:00 pm and 6:00 am

Answers

During daytime, the sun heats the land and warms the air that rises. That lowers the pressure, causing a gradient force to bring air from the colder sea. The wind is then onshore. Small cumulus clouds form over the land, often following the coastline very closely 

A math test took 50 minutes to complete. The test ended at 3:55. What time did the test begin?

Answers

The test started at 3:05 if it ended 50 minutes later at 3:55

A math test ended at 3:55 and it took 50 minutes to complete. What time did the math test start?

The math test started at 3:05.

If we know that the math test ended at 3:55 and lasted 50 minutes, we can subtract 50 minutes from 3:55 and we will get an answer of 3:05.

Therefore, the math test started at 3:05.

At noon, ship a is 60 km west of ship
b. ship a is sailing south at 15 km/h and ship b is sailing north at 5 km/h. how fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 pm?

Answers

dA/dt=15 km/h and dB/dt=5 km/h
base of our triangle if drawn is 60 km
to find dD/dt when t=4 hours we shall have:

(A+B)²+60²=D²
d/dt[(A+B)²+60²]=d/dt(D²)
[d(A+B)]/dt*2(A+B)(2)=dD/dt*2D
B=5km/h*4hr=20km
A=15km/hr*4=60km
20²+60²=D²
D=√4000

(15+5)*(2)*80*(2)=2*√4000*dD/dt
dD/dt=6400/√4000=101.192 km/hr

The two ships are sailing in opposite sides, Hence, the resultant speed is given by 15+5 = 20 km/hr.

Therefore, from the below triangle, we have

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 20 \text{  km/hr}[/tex]

Let the distance between the ships is y. On applying Pythagorous theorem, we have

[tex]y^2=x^2+60^2\\ \text{On differentiating, we get}\\ 2y\frac{dy}{dt} =2x\frac{dx}{dt}\\\frac{dy}{dt}= \frac{x}{y} \frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

On substituting the value of y as [tex]y=\sqrt{60^2+x^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{x}{\sqrt{60^2+x^2}} \frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

Since, the at noon the ship is 60 km to each other. Hence, for 4 PM, i.e. t=4, we have

[tex]x=4 \times \frac{dx}{dt} \\ x= 4 \times 20 \\x=80[/tex]

On substituting the value in above, we get

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{80}{\sqrt{60^2+80^2}} (20[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = 16.0 \text{ km/hr}[/tex]

Therefore,  the distance between the ships changing at a rate of 16 km/hr at 4:00 pm

how much difference is there between investing $5,000 at 4% simple interest for 5 years and investing that same amount at 4% compounded quarterly

Answers

To find the difference between the tow investments we are going to use tow formulas. Simple interest formula for our simple interest investment, and compound interest formula for our compound interest investment.
- Simple interest formula: [tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]
  where
  [tex]A[/tex] is the final investment value
  [tex]P[/tex] is the initial investment 
  [tex]r[/tex] is the interest rate in decimal form 
  [tex]t[/tex] is the time in years
For our problem we know that [tex]P=5000[/tex], [tex]r= \frac{4}{100} =0.04[/tex], and [tex]t=5[/tex], so lets replace those values in our simple interest formula to find [tex]A[/tex]:
[tex]A=5000(1+(0.04)(5))[/tex]
[tex]A=5000(1.2)[/tex]
[tex]A=6000[/tex]

Now that we know the final investment value of our simple interest investment, lets use the compound interest formula to find the final investment value of the other one:
- Compound interest formula: [tex]A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt} [/tex]
  where
  [tex]A[/tex] is the final investment value
  [tex]P[/tex] is the initial investment 
  [tex]r[/tex] is the interest rate in decimal form
  [tex]n[/tex] is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
  [tex]t[/tex] is the time in years 
For our problem we know that [tex]P=5000[/tex], [tex]r= \frac{4}{100} =0.04[/tex], and [tex]t=5[/tex]. Since we know that the interest is compounded quarterly (each 4 months), it mean that is compounded [tex] \frac{12months}{4months} =3[/tex] times per year, so [tex]n=3[/tex]. Now that we have all the vales, lets replace them in our formula:
[tex]A=5000(1+ \frac{0.04}{3} )^{(3)(5)} [/tex]
[tex]A=5000(1+ \frac{0.04}{3} )^{15} [/tex]
[tex]A=6098.95[/tex]

now that we know the final amounts of our investments, lets find how much difference is between them: 
[tex]6098.95-6000=98.95[/tex]

We can conclude that the difference between invest $5000 in a compound interest investment vs a simple interest investment is $98.95.

Using synthetic division, find the quotient Q(x) and the remainder R if the polynomial P(x) = x3 − 2x2 − 3x + 18 is divided by (x + 2).

Answers

Answer:

quotient: x^2 - 4x + 5
remainder: 8

Explanation:

1) Given

p(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 18
divisor: x + 2

2) Write the coefficients of p(x) in order:

1       -2        -3      18

3) dividing by x + 2 => run the division  for x = - 2

4) division

     | 1     -2     -3     +18
     |
 -2 |       -2     +8     - 10
-----------------------------------
      1     -4     +5      +8

The last digit is the remainder, the others are the coefficients of the quotient:

=>

quotient = x^2 - 4x + 5
remainder = 8

The quotient Q(x) is found to be x² - 4x - 11 and the remainder R is 4.

The question involves using synthetic division to find the quotient Q(x) and the remainder R when the polynomial P(x) = x³ − 2x² − 3x + 18 is divided by (x + 2).

To perform synthetic division, we first write down the coefficients of P(x): 1, -2, -3, and 18. The divisor is (x + 2), so we use -2 for the synthetic division.

Write the coefficients of P(x): 1, -2, -3, 18.

Write the root of the divisor (x + 2) = -2 on the left side of the synthetic division setup.

Bring down the first coefficient (1).

Multiply -2 by 1, place the result (-2) under the second coefficient (-2), and add the two numbers yielding -4.

Repeat the multiplication and addition process for the rest of the coefficients.

The results of the synthetic division process give us the coefficients of the quotient Q(x) and the remainder R.

In performing the synthetic division, we find that the quotient Q(x) is x² - 4x - 11 and the remainder is R = 4.

Two forces with magnitudes of 25 and 30 pounds act on an object at angles of 10° and 100°, respectively. Find the direction and magnitude of the resultant force. Round to two decimal places in all intermediate steps and in your final answer.

Answers

The direction and magnitude can be found by summing the x- and y-components of each force.
It is best presented in the form of a table, where
x-component = Fcos(theta)
y-component = Fsin(theta)
For F=25 pounds, angle = 30
25cos(30)=21.65

Force  angle     x-component          y-component
25       30         25cos(30)=21.65    25sin(30)=12.5
30       100       30cos(100)=-5.21   30sin(100)=29.54
Total                Fx=16.44                 Fy=42.04
Therefore angle = tan^(-1)(Fy/Fx)=tan^(-1)(42.04/16.44) = 68.64 °
magnitude = sqrt(Fx^2+Fy^2)=sqrt(16.44^2+42.04^2)=45.15 pounds

Shelly has a photo that is 7 1/3 inches tall. she wants to shrink it down to fit in a picture frame that is only 5 1/3 inches tall. the photo shop can only reduce photos by certin fractions. they can reduce it to 2/3 the original size, 3/4 the original size, or 5/9 the original size. which reduction should she use so the picture fills as much of the frame as possible, without being too large?

Answers

we know that 

the photo is 7 1/3 inches tall-----> 7 1/3=(7*3+1)/3=22/3 in ----- > (7.33 in)
the picture frame  is 5 1/3 inches tall--> 5 1/3=(5*3+1)/3=16/3 in----> (5.33 in)

b) case B reduce 3/4 the original size---> (22/3)*(3/4)=66/12 in-----> (5.5 in)
this is not solution because 66/12 (5.5 ) in >16/3 (5.33) in ( picture frame)

c) case C reduce 5/9 the original size---> (22/3)*(5/9)=110/27 in-----> (4.07 in)

Find a vector equation and parametric equations for the line segment that joins p to q. p(1, −1, 7), q(7, 6, 1) vector equation r(t) = <1+6t,−1+7t,7−6t> parametric equations (x(t), y(t), z(t)) =

Answers

Answers: 

- vector equation: r(t) = <1 + 6t, -1 + 7t, 7 - 6t> 
- parametric equations:   
      x = 1 + 6t
      y = -1 + 7t
      z = 7 - 6t

Explanation:

To obtain the vector equation, we first get a vector v that is parallel to the line. To get the vector v, we subtract p from q. So,

v = q - p
   = (7,6,1) - (1,-1,7)
v  = (6, 7, -6)

The vector equation of the line is given by

[tex]r(t) = v_0 + tv[/tex]

Where

[tex]v_0[/tex] = a point in the line (we choose point p(1,-1,7))

So, the equation of the line joining p and q is given by

[tex]r(t) = v_0 + tv \\ \indent = \left \langle 1, -1, 7 \right \rangle + t\left \langle 6, 7, -6 \right \rangle \\ \indent = \left \langle 1, -1, 7 \right \rangle + \left \langle 6t, 7t, -6t \right \rangle \\ \indent \boxed{r(t) = \left \langle 1 + 6t, 1 + 7t, 7 - 6t \right \rangle }[/tex]

In the parametric equation of the line, we just need to get the x, y and z coordinates in the vector equation.

Since the vector equation is given by 

[tex]r(t) = \left \langle 1 + 6t, 1 + 7t, 7 - 6t \right \rangle[/tex]

The parametric equations of the line are given by:

[tex]x(t) = 1 + 6t \\y(t) = 1 + 7t \\z(t) = 7 - 6t[/tex]


Final answer:

The vector equation for the line segment joining the points p(1, -1, 7) and q(7, 6, 1) is r(t) = <1+6t, -1+7t, 7-6t> and the corresponding parametric equations are x(t) = 1 + 6t, y(t) = -1 + 7t, z(t) = 7 - 6t.

Explanation:

To find the vector and parametric equations for the line segment joining two points p(1, -1, 7) and q(7, 6, 1), we first need to understand that the vector equation for a line segment in space is given by r(t) = p + t (q - p), where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, and p and q are the coordinates of the points. The parametric equations are obtained by expressing the x, y, and z coordinates of r(t) as individual functions of t.

Substituting the given points into the vector equation we get: r(t) = <1+6t, -1+7t, 7-6t>. Then, the corresponding parametric equations will be x(t) = 1 + 6t, y(t) = -1 + 7t, and z(t) = 7 - 6t.
