PLEASE HELP ME!!
Read this passage from Part 1 of “The Purloined Letter.”

“And what, after all, is the matter on hand?” I asked.

“Why, I will tell you,” replied the Prefect, as he gave a long, steady, and contemplative puff, and settled himself in his chair. “I will tell you in a few words; but, before I begin, let me caution you that this is an affair demanding the greatest secrecy, and that I should most probably lose the position I now hold, were it known that I confided it to any one.

“Proceed,” said I.

What is the most likely reason Poe uses a slow pace in this part of the scene?

The value of the expression A = 6[4-9.47] is A = -33

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

A = 6 [ 4 - 9.47 ]

On simplifying , we get

A = 6 ( -5.47 )

On further simplification , we get

A = 6 x -5.47

A = -32.82

On rounding the value of A , we get

A = -33

Therefore , the value of A is -33

Hence , the equation is A = -33

in danville the library is due south of the courthouse and due wesr of the community swimming pool. if the distance between the library and the countries is 3.9 kilometers and the distance between the courthouse and the city pool is 4.4 kilometers, how far is the library fron the community pool? round to the nearest tenth if necessary. (this is pythagorean theorem btw)​

Answers

Answer: 2 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle, the longest side  (in this case the distance between  the courthouse and the city pool) and a and b are the other sides.

Replacing with the values given:

4.4^2 = 3.9^2 + b^2

19.36 = 15.21+b^2

19.36-15.21 = b^2

4.15 = b^2

√4.15 = b

b=2 km

the peach festival charges $5 for admission then$1.25 per pound of peaches picked. If Savanna went to the festival and picked 2.4 pounds of peaches,how many did she pay in total at the festival?

Answers

Answer:

I'm glad you asked!

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's do it step by step.

Already she has to pay $[tex]5[/tex] for going in.

She has [tex]2[/tex] whole pounds.

[tex]1.25[/tex] x [tex]2=2.5[/tex] or [tex]2 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Add $[tex]5[/tex] and $ [tex]2.5[/tex] .

[tex]5+2.5 = 7.5[/tex]

Now let's do $1.25 divided by 10.

[tex]$[/tex]$[tex]1.25[/tex] divided by $[tex]10[/tex] [tex]=0.125[/tex]

Now let's do [tex]0.125[/tex] times [tex]4[/tex]

[tex]0.125[/tex] x [tex]4 = 0.5[/tex]

Now let's add 7.5 to 0.5

(6x+4y=43)( 2x-3y=23)

Answers

Answer:

(8.5, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

6x + 4y = 43 → (1)

2x - 3y = 23 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x

- 6x + 9y = - 69 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x, that is

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

6x + 4(- 2) = 43

6x - 8 = 43 ( add 8 to both sides )

6x = 51 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 8.5

Solution is (8.5, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the pythagorean theoeom to say that the triangle is a right triangle. We know which one the right angle is, so the remaining two angles add up to 90 degrees. we eliminate the third option and the first. Then, eliminate the fourth and the second. The answer is either 42 or 30. It cannot be 42 because 42+56+70=168, and 168 is not equal to 180. So, the  answer is 30 degrees.

Troy puts $200.00 into an account to use for school expenses. The account earns 7% interest, compounded annually. How much will be in the account after 5 years? Use the formula A=P1+ r n nt, where A is the balance (final amount), P is the principal (starting amount), r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal, n is the number of times per year that the interest is compounded, and t is the time in years. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

the final amount is = $280.51

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard formula for compound interest is given as;

A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) .....1

Given that;

Principal P = $200

Interest rate r = 7% = 0.07

Time t = 5 years

Final amount = A

Number of time compounded per year n = 1

Substituting the values;

A = 200(1+0.07/1)^(1×5)

A = 280.51

Therefore, the final amount is = $280.51

Dafydd bought a bike for £300 on 1st February 2010. Every year the value of the bike depreciates by 18% of its' value at the start of the year. Find the value of the bike on 1st February 2014.

Answers

Answer: £165.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of bike when purchased in 2010 = £300

Depreciation rate yearly = 18%

Value of bike in 2011

Purchased price - depreciation value

= £300 - £300 * 0.18

= £300 - £54

= £246

Value of bike in 2012

= 2011 Price - depreciation value

= £246 - £246 * 0.18

= £246 - £44.28

= £201.72

Value of Bike in 2013

= price of 2012 - depreciation value

= £201.72 - £201.72 * 0.18

= £201.72 - £36.31

= £165.41

Price in 2014 would be £165.41

Your friend standing on a 45 foot balcony. He asks you to throw a baseball up to him. You throw a baseball with an initial upward velocity of 50 ft./s. Assuming that you released the baseball 6 feet above the ground, did it reach your friend? Explain.

Answers

Vertical motion formula is h = -16t^2 +vt +s where v is initial velocity and s is starting height:

h = -16t^2 + 50t +6

Solving for t: -50/-32 = 1.5625 seconds to reach maximum height.

Now replace t  and solve for h ( maximum height)

h = -16(1.5625)^2 +50(1.5625) + 6

h = 45.0625

The value for h is greater than the height of the balcony, so yes the ball reached  the friend.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula: c = 2pi(r) OR c = pi(d).

r stands for the radius, d stands for the diameter. Because you're given the diameter of the circle, you can simply multiply 28 by pi (3.14), and you'll get the circumference!

With sides of 12.75 and 17 on the bottom.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since we know the legs

a^2+b^2 = c^2

12.75 ^2 + 17^2 = c^2

162.5625+289= c^2

451.5625 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(451.5625) =sqrt( c^2)

21.25 = c

r = 9/100 = 0.09

t = 3 years

B = 3000 * (1+ 0.09)^3

B = 3000 * (1.09)^3

1.09^3 = 1.09*1.09 * 1.09 = 1.295

B = 3000 * 1.295

Complete the sentence. Do not round your answer.
Matthew runs ____ miles in week 3.

Answers

Answer:14.58 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew is training to participate in a half marathon.

The distance covered by Matthew on the first day is 12.5 miles.

The distance covered by Matthew on the second day is 13.5 miles.

The distance increased on the second day is, 13.5-12.5=1 mile.

The percentage will be,

=\dfrac{1}{12.5}\times 100\%

=0.08\times 100\%

=8\%

Hence, each day he runs 8% more. So the distance covered by him on day 3 will be,

=13.5+\left(13.5\times \dfrac{8}{100}\right)

=13.5+1.08

=14.58 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio you just do this, last number = 15.5, and first number = 12.5.

15.5/12.5 equals 1.24.

^That's the common ratio.^

using A(n) = a * r ^ n - 1,

you get 12.5 * 1.24 ^ 3 - 1, or just 12.5 * 1.24 ^ 2

and solving that problem, you get 19.22.

Confirm this by doing the same thing earlier, 19.22/15.5 is 1.24. Which is the ratio found earlier. So it checks out.
