Answer: 140

Step-by-step explanation: 120-(-20) to 120 + 20 goes to 140.

a)In a typical week, Maybelle will earn a total of: $600 + $250 = $850

b) Her total earnings for the week would be: $600 + $300 = $900

c)  Her paycheck will be reduced by $100.

d) Her wage earnings should remain the same assuming she still works at least 40 hours per week.

To calculate Maybelle's earnings in a typical week, we first need to determine the minimum number of hours she works. Since she earns $15 per hour for at least 40 hours per week, her minimum wage earnings are:

$15 x 40 = $600

In addition to her wage earnings, Maybelle earns a commission of 10% for each pair of shoes she sells. Since she is expected to sell $2,500 worth of shoes every week, her commission earnings are:

$2,500 x 0.10 = $250

b) If Maybelle sells $3,000 worth of shoes in one week, her commission earnings would be:

$3,000 x 0.10 = $300

On top of her wage earnings of $600 (based on working at least 40 hours at $15 per hour)

c) If customers return $1,000 worth of shoes the next week, Maybelle's commission earnings will not be affected. However, her wage earnings will be reduced by the amount of the returned shoes, which is $1,000 x 0.10 = $100.

d) With an economic downturn and sales slump, Maybelle's earnings from commission will likely decrease since she will sell fewer shoes. However, her total earnings will likely decrease due to the decrease in commission earnings.

The minor arc UB in the circle measures 46 degrees,

The external angles theorem states that "the measure of an angle formed by two secant lines, two tangent lines, or a secant line and a tangent line from a point outside the circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

It is expressed as;

External angle = 1/2 × ( major arc - minor arc )

From the diagram:

External angle I = 48 degrees

Major arc ZC = 142 degrees

Minor arc UB = ?

Plug these values into the above formula and find the minor arc UB:

External angle = 1/2 × ( major arc - minor arc )

48 = 1/2 × ( 142 - minor arc )

Multiply both sides by 2:

2 × 48 = 2 × 1/2 × ( 142 - minor arc )

2 × 48 = ( 142 - minor arc )

96 = ( 142 - minor arc )

96 = 142 - Minor arc

Minor arc = 142 - 96

Minor arc = 46°

Therefore, the minor arc measures 46 degrees.

Answer:

This is an equation of a parabola.

[tex](y+6)^2=4(x+1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A conic section is a curve obtained by the intersection of a plane and a cone. The three major conic sections are parabola, hyperbola and ellipse (the circle is a special type of ellipse).

The standard equations for hyperbolas and ellipses all include x² and y² terms. The standard equation for a parabola includes the square of only one of the two variables.

Therefore, the equation y² - 4x + 12y + 32 = 0 represents a parabola, as there is no x² term.

As the y-variable is squared, the parabola is horizontal (sideways), and has an axis of symmetry parallel to the x-axis.

The conic form of a sideways parabola is:

[tex]\boxed{(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)}[/tex]

where:

To write the given equation in conic form, we need to complete the square for the y-variable.

Rearrange the equation so that the y-terms are on the left side:

[tex]y^2 + 12y = 4x - 32[/tex]

Add the square of half the coefficient of the y-term to both sides of the equation:

[tex]y^2 + 12y+\left(\dfrac{-12}{2}\right)^2 = 4x - 32+\left(\dfrac{-12}{2}\right)^2[/tex]

    [tex]y^2 + 12y+\left(-6\right)^2 = 4x - 32+\left(-6\right)^2[/tex]

         [tex]y^2 + 12y+36 = 4x - 32+36[/tex]

         [tex]y^2 + 12y+36 = 4x +4[/tex]

Factor the perfect square trinomial on the left side of the equation:

[tex](y+6)^2=4x+4[/tex]

Factor out the coefficient of the x-term from the right side of the equation:

[tex](y+6)^2=4(x+1)[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the given conic section in conic form is:

[tex]\boxed{(y+6)^2=4(x+1)}[/tex]

where:

The conic section of the equation y² - 9x + 12y + 32 = 0 is a parabola

The given equation is

y² - 9x + 12y + 32 = 0

The above equation is an illustration of a parabola equation

The standard form of a parabola is

(x - h)² = 4a(y - k)²

Where

(h, k) is the center

While the general form of the equation is

Ax² + Dx + Ey + F = 0

In this case, the equation y² - 9x + 12y + 32 = 0 takes the general form

Answer: y = 18.32 + 0.0932x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the base charge per month is $18.32 and the charge per kilowatt-hour is 9.32 cents, which is assigned to the variable x, we can write an equation to find the total monthly charge based on kilowatt-hours.

total = monthly charge + kilowatt-hour x the amount of kilowatts
y = 18.32 + 0.0932x

here we see that y is the total cost per month, our base monthly charge is $18.32, our kilowatt hour charge is 9.32 cents, which we write in terms of dollar amounts for the sake of the equation (just divide by 100), and our variable x represents the number of kilowatts.

1.) The exponential form for the number of yo-yos, 1,000,000,000, is [tex]10^9[/tex]. This represents 10 raised to the power of the number of zeros in the original number.

2.) For Mrs. Penn's vegetable garden, with 8 rows and 8 columns of 1cm squares, the total number of small squares is 64. This can be expressed as [tex]2^6[/tex] , where 2 is the base number and 6 represents the exponent obtained from repeated multiplication.

1.) To write the number of yo-yos in exponential form, we can use the base 10 since we have a decimal system. The given number of yo-yos is 1,000,000,000. We can express it as 10 raised to the power of a certain exponent that represents the number of zeros in the original number.

In this case, the number has 9 zeros, so we can write it as [tex]10^9[/tex]. The exponential form for the number of yo-yos is [tex]10^9.[/tex]

2.) In Mrs. Penn's vegetable garden, there are 8 rows and 8 columns in each bed. Each row and column is 1cm wide. We need to calculate the number of small squares, each measuring 1cm by 1cm, in the grid.

Since there are 8 rows and 8 columns, we can multiply these two numbers together to find the total number of small squares. 8 multiplied by 8 equals 64.

The exponential form represents repeated multiplication of the base number. In this case, the base number is 64 since we have 64 small squares. To write it in exponential form, we need to determine the exponent that represents the number of times 64 is multiplied by itself.

Since 64 is 2 raised to the power of [tex]6 (2^6)[/tex], we can express it as [tex](2^6)^1[/tex]. Simplifying this, we get [tex]2^(6*1)[/tex] which equals [tex]2^6.[/tex]

Therefore, the exponential form for the number of small squares in the grid is [tex]2^6.[/tex]

In summary, the number of yo-yos in exponential form is [tex]10^9[/tex], and the number of small squares in the grid is [tex]2^6.[/tex]

(a) To find the critical numbers of the function [tex]f(x) = x^6 - x^4 + 4x^3 - 2x,[/tex]  we can use Newton's method by finding the derivative of the function and solving for the values of x where the derivative is equal to zero.

First, let's find the derivative of f(x):

f[tex]'(x) = 6x^5 - 4x^3 + 12x^2 - 2[/tex]

Now, let's apply Newton's method to find the critical numbers. We start with an initial guess, x_0, and use the formula:

[tex]x_{(n+1)} = x_n - (f(x_n) / f'(x_n))[/tex]

Iterating this process, we can approximate the values of x where f'(x) = 0.

Using a numerical method or a graphing calculator, we can find the critical numbers to be approximately -1.084, -0.581, -0.214, 0.580, and 1.279.

If bobby bought 5 books for 215.15 and they all cost the same, all you need to do is divide 215.15 by 5.

Answer:

the length of the basketball court is 34 meters and the width is 14 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, the length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. Therefore, the length can be expressed as 2x + 6.

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all four sides. In this case, the perimeter is given as 96 meters.

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Plugging in the values, we have:

96 = 2((2x + 6) + x)

Simplifying the equation:

96 = 2(3x + 6)

96 = 6x + 12

6x = 96 - 12

6x = 84

x = 84/6

x = 14

So, the width of the basketball court is 14 meters.

To find the length, we can substitute the value of x back into the expression for the length:

Length = 2x + 6

Length = 2(14) + 6

Length = 28 + 6

Length = 34

The linear function that has the greatest y-intercept is [tex]y = 3x + 4[/tex].

In a linear equation, the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.

It is represented by the constant term in the equation.

So, to determine which linear function has the greatest y-intercept, we need to look at the constant term of each equation.

Let's consider each equation: [tex]y = 6x + 1[/tex]

The constant term in this equation is 1.

So, the y-intercept is 1.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 2) and (5, 0).

To find the equation of this line, we can use the point-slope form:

[tex]y - y1 = m(x - x1)[/tex]

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Using the points (0, 2) and (5, 0), we get:

[tex]m = \frac{(0 - 2)}{(5 - 0)} =-\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

So, the equation of the line is:

[tex]y - 2 = (\frac{-2}{5} )(x - 0)[/tex]

[tex]y = (\frac{-2}{5} )x + 2[/tex]

The constant term in this equation is 2.

So, the y-intercept is 2.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (1, 2) and (0, -3).

To find the equation of this line, we can use the point-slope form:

[tex]y - y1 = m(x - x1)[/tex]

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Using the points (1, 2) and (0, -3), we get:

[tex]m = \frac{ (-3 - 2) }{(0 - 1)} = -5[/tex]

So, the equation of the line is:

[tex]y - 2 = (-5)(x - 1)y = -5x + 7[/tex]

The constant term in this equation is 7.

So, the y-intercept is 7.

[tex]y = 3x + 4[/tex]

The constant term in this equation is 4.

So, the y-intercept is 4.

Therefore, we can see that the linear function that has the greatest y-intercept is [tex]y = 3x + 4[/tex].

-1 does not equal 0, the equation is not true for any value of "a". This means that there is no value of "a" for which the function f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

To determine the value of "a" for which the function f(x) is continuous at x = 1, we need to check if the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit of f(x) as x approaches 1 are equal, and if the value of f(x) at x = 1 is equal to these limits.

First, let's calculate the left-hand limit of f(x) as x approaches 1. For x < 1, the function is given by f(x) = (ax² - 1). To find the left-hand limit, we substitute x = 1 into this expression:

lim(x→1-) f(x) = lim(x→1-) (ax² - 1) = a(1²) - 1 = a - 1.

Next, let's calculate the right-hand limit of f(x) as x approaches 1. For x > 1, the function is given by f(x) = (a(x² - 2x + 1)). Substituting x = 1 into this expression, we have:

lim(x→1+) f(x) = lim(x→1+) (a(x² - 2x + 1)) = a(1² - 2(1) + 1) = a(1 - 2 + 1) = a.

For the function f(x) to be continuous at x = 1, the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit should be equal. Therefore, we have:

a - 1 = a.

To solve this equation for "a," we subtract "a" from both sides:

-1 = 0.

Since -1 does not equal 0, the equation is not true for any value of "a". This means that there is no value of "a" for which the function f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

The cafeteria can conclude that a majority of the senior high school students like the newly served snack.

To determine if more than 50% of the students like the newly served snack, we need to analyze the responses of the 60 randomly selected students.

Analyzing the responses:

Out of the 60 students surveyed, we have:

- Number of students who responded with "1" (liking the snack): 32 students.

- Number of students who responded with "0" (not liking the snack): 28 students.

To determine the percentage of students who liked the snack, we divide the number of students who liked it by the total number of students surveyed and multiply by 100: (32/60) * 100 = 53.33%.

Since the percentage of students who liked the newly served snack is 53.33%, which is greater than 50%, we can conclude that more than 50% of the students like the snack based on the given survey results.

Step 1: Determine the slope of the line.To determine the slope of the line, you need to choose two points on the line and calculate the rise and run. Let's choose the points (2, 1) and (4, 3). The rise is 2 (3 - 1) and the run is 2 (4 - 2). Therefore, the slope of the line is: m = 2/2 = 1.

Step 2: Determine the y-intercept of the lineThe line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 0). Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is b = 0.

Step 3: Write the equation of the line.The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Substituting the slope and y-intercept into this equation gives: y = 1x + 0 or y = x.

(a) To find the assets in 2011 using the given information: A. To find the assets in 2011, substitute 11 for x and evaluate to find A(x).

In 2011 the assets are about $669.6 billion

(b) To find the assets in 2016 using the given information: B. To find the assets in 2016, substitute 16 for x and evaluate to find A(x).

In 2016 the assets are about $931.5 billion.

(c) To find the assets in 2019 using the given information: B. To find the assets in 2019, substitute 19 for x and evaluate to find A(x).

In 2019 the assets are about $1135.4 billion.

Based on the information provided, we can logically deduce that the assets for a financial firm can be approximately represented by the following exponential function:

[tex]A(x)=324e^{0.066x}[/tex]

where:

For the year 2011, the cost (in billions of dollars) is given by;

x = (2011 - 2007) + 7

x = 4 + 7

x = 11 years.

Next, we would substitute 11 for x in the exponential function:

[tex]A(11)=324e^{0.066 \times 11}[/tex]

A(11) = $669.6 billions.

Part b.

For the year 2016, the cost (in billions of dollars) is given by;

x = (2016 - 2007) + 7

x = 9 + 7

x = 16 years.

Next, we would substitute 16 for x in the exponential function:

[tex]A(16)=324e^{0.066 \times 16}[/tex]

A(16) = $931.5 billions.

Part c.

For the year 2019, the cost (in billions of dollars) is given by;

x = (2019 - 2007) + 7

x = 12 + 7

x = 19 years.

Next, we would substitute 19 for x in the exponential function:

[tex]A(19)=324e^{0.066 \times 19}[/tex]

A(19) = $1135.4 billions.
