The height of Moyo and that of
Adamu differs by 9. The difference of the squares of their height is 120.
Find their heights.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of Moyo is

[tex]\frac{67}{6}[/tex]

The height of Adamu is

[tex]\frac{13}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

To solve the problem, we assign the variable:

x = height of Moyo

Since Moyo is 9 units taller than Adamu:

x - 9 = height of Adamu

The difference of the squares of their heights is 120, thus:

[tex]x^2-(x - 9)^2=120[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]x^2-(x^2-18x+81)=120[/tex]

[tex]x^2-x^2+18x-81=120[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]18x-81=120[/tex]

Adding 81:

[tex]18x=120+81=201[/tex]

Dividing by 18:

[tex]x=\frac{201}{18}=\frac{67}{6}[/tex]

The height of Moyo is

[tex]\frac{67}{6}[/tex]

The height of Adamu is

[tex]\frac{67}{6}-9=\frac{13}{6}[/tex]

The answer to number 9 is: 148.16

what is $420 with a 6% tax

Answers

Answer:   445.20 dollars

=============================================================

Explanation:

There are two approaches.

The slightly longer approach will have us take 6% of 420 to get 0.06*420 = 25.20

So 25.20 is the amount of tax you pay on top of the original $420. The total bill is 420+25.20 = 445.20 dollars

--------------

The shortcut is to multiply 420 by 1.06 to get 420*1.06 = 445.20

The 1.06 multiplier indicates an increase of 6%

We can think of it it as 1.06 = 1 + 0.06 = 100% + 6%

What are quadratic sequence?

Quadratic sequences are sequences that include an term. They can be identified by the fact that the differences between the terms are not equal, but the second differences between terms are equal.

According to the question

Quadratic sequences are given the next term is :

1> 7 11 17 25  

First difference between terms

11 - 7 = 4

17 - 11 = 6

25 - 17 = 8  

Second difference between terms

6 - 4 = 2

8 - 6 = 2

Therefore, next term : First last difference + Second difference  + Last Term

                                   : 8+2 = 10

                                   : 25 + 10 = 35

2> 6 12 22 36

First difference between terms

12 - 6 = 6

22 - 12 = 10

36 - 22 = 14

Second difference between terms

10 - 6 = 4

14 - 10 = 4

Therefore, 1st next term : First last difference + Second difference  + Last Term

                                     :  14 + 4 = 18

                                     :  36+ 18 = 54

2nd next term : First last difference + Second difference  + Last Term

                                     :  18 + 4 = 22

                                     :  22 + 54 = 76

3rd next term : First last difference + Second difference  + Last Term

                                     :   22 + 4 = 26

                                     :   76 + 26 = 102

4th next term : First last difference + Second difference  + Last Term

                                    :    26 + 4 = 30

                                     :   76 + 26 = 102

3> nth term of a quadratic sequence = [tex]n^{2} - 2n + 8[/tex]

first three terms of this sequence :

1st term of the sequence : n = 1

substituting value of n

[tex]1^{2} - 2 + 8[/tex]

= 7

2nd term of the sequence : n = 2

substituting value of n

[tex]2^{2} - 2*2 + 8[/tex]

= 8

3rd term of the sequence : n = 3

substituting value of n

[tex]3^{2} - 2*3 + 8[/tex]

= 17 - 6

= 11

4> Quadratic sequence has an nth term :  [tex]2n^{2} + 3n -1[/tex]

6th term of the sequence : n = 6

substituting value of n

[tex]2(6)^{2} + 3*6 -1[/tex]

36*2 + 18 -1

= 89

5> Quadratic sequence has an nth term : [tex]n^{2} - 6n + 7[/tex]

term = 23

therefore,

23 = [tex]n^{2} - 6n + 7[/tex]

0 = [tex]n^{2} - 6n - 16[/tex]

solving the equation

[tex]n^{2} - (8-2)n - 16 = 0[/tex]

n(n- 8) + 2 (n - 8) = 0

(n-8) (n+2) = 0

n = 8 , -2

As term can not be negative , so n = 8

Therefore, term 8 of Quadratic sequence  : [tex]n^{2} - 6n + 7[/tex] is 23 .

where r is the radius of the cylinder's base and h is the height of the cylinder. He also knows that his vase is 12.75 cm tall. What is the radius of

Troy's vase? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

5.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Height,h = 12.75 cm

π = 3.14

Radius,r = r

Volume of the cylinder = 1,000 cm³

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

1000 = 3.14 × r² × 12.75

1000 = 40.035r²

r² = 1000/40.035

r² = 24.978

r = √24.978

r = 4.99 cm

Approximately 5.0 cm

A new movie is currently showing at the local movie theater. For the 6:00 pm showing, the theater sold 36 student tickets and 24 adult tickets for a total of $423. The theater sold 41 student tickets and 38 adult tickets for a total of $585.75 for the 8:30 pm showing. If x represents the number of student tickets sold and represents the number of adult tickets sold, which of the following systems of equations correctly models the situation? Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

36x + 24y = 423 (1)

41x + 38y = 585.75 (2)

x =$5.25

y = $9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the number of student tickets sold

y = the number of adult tickets sold

36x + 24y = 423 (1)

41x + 38y = 585.75 (2)

Multiply (1) by 38 and (2) by 24

1368x + 912y = 16,074 (3)

984x + 912y = 14,058 (4)

Subtract to eliminate y

1,368x - 984x = 16,074 - 14,058

384x = 2,016

x = 2,016/384

x = 5.25

Substitute x = 5.25 into (1) to find y

36x + 24y = 423

36(5.25) + 24y = 423

189 + 24y = 423

24y = 423 - 189

24y = 234

y = 234/24

y = 9.75

x =$5.25

y = $9.75

How do you write 28/50 as a percentage?

Answers

28/50 * 100 = 56%

when finding percentage always multiply by 200

Answer: 56%

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 28/50 as a percent, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So we need to find a fraction that's equivalent

to 28/50 that has a 100 in the denominator.

To do this, we set up a proportion.

So we have 28/50 = n/100.

To find the value of n, we first find the fraction that

is equivalent to 28/50 that has a denominator of 100.

If we multiply both the numerator and denominator of

28/50 by 2, we can see that 28/50 = 56/100.

So 28/50 is equal to 56/100 or 56%.

The listed price of the video game was $34, but the price with tax came to $37.40. Find the percent sales tax.

Answers

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to find what % of 34 is 37.40

so, we will use the following equation:

[tex]\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{percent}{100}[/tex]

for this scenario:

part = 37.40

whole = 34

percent = x

now plug in:

[tex]\frac{37.40}{34} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]                         cross multiply

34x = (37.40)(100)

34x = 3740                      divide both sides by 34

x = 110%

now we know that with tax, we paid 110% of the video game's price

110 - 100 = 10%

so the percent sales tax is 10%

just to check...

34 • 1.10 = $37.40

or

34 • .10 = 3.40

34 + 3.40 = 37.40
