The question is incomplete:

Noah pays $25.20 for non perishable food items to give to the local homeless shelter the price includes a 5% sales of tax. what is the price before tax of the food items?

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information you have that the price of items is $25.20 and it includes a 5% tax. From this, you can write the following:

x+0.05x=25.20

Then, you can isolate x to find the price before tax:

1.05x=25.20

x=25.20/1.05

x= 24

According to this, the price before tax of the food items is $24.

Let f(x)=−1/4(x+4)^2−8 . What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 2? Enter your answer in

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Average rate of change of function is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $f(x)=\frac{-1}{4}(x+4)^2-8$ .

we have to find the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 2.

$f(-2)=\frac{-1}{4}(-2+4)^2-8=\frac{-1}{4}(4)-8=-9$

$f(2)=\frac{-1}{4}(2+4)^2-8=\frac{-1}{4}(36)-8=-17$

The average rate of change of the function f(x) on interval [-2,2] is

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{f(2)-f(-2)}{2-(-2)}=\frac{-17-(-9)}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}=-2$

Find the measure of the indicated arc

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

m $\widehat{WXY}$ is 224°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, we have;

The angle subtended at the circumference, by the arc mWXY, C = 112°

The angle subtended at the center = m $\widehat{WXY}$

By circle theory, we have;

The angle subtended at the center = 2 × The angle subtended at the circumference

∴ m $\widehat{WXY}$ = 2 × 112° = 224°

m $\widehat{WXY}$ = 224°.

The graphs of three functions are shown.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The square root and quadratic function share a y-intercept.
The range of the square root and absolute value function are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercepts are the same when the curves meet the y-axis at the same point. That is true of the root and quadratic functions.

X-intercepts are the same when the curves meet the x-axis at the same point. None of these functions share an x-intercept.

The ranges of the functions are the same when they have the same vertical extent. The range of the quadratic is different from the range of the other two functions.

The absolute value and root functions have the same minimum (lower end of their range). That is the same as the maximum of the quadratic function.

The statements that match the graphs are ...

The square root and quadratic function share a y-intercept.
The range of the square root and absolute value function are the same.

Klio2033 [76]

She worked 2 and 1/2 hours yesterday, and today she did 4 and 1/4 hours.

first off, let's check how many hours she worked total, and divide 54 by it.

so, first off, let's convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and add them up.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{17}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD will be 4}\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 5)+(1\cdot 17)}{4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{10+17}{4}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies \stackrel{total~hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\stackrel{wages}{54}}{\stackrel{hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{54}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{54}{1}}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{54}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{27}\implies \cfrac{216}{27}\implies 8~\frac{\$}{hr}$
