Number of vertices: n=7

Sum of the measures of the interior angles of the polygon: S=?

S=180°(n-2)

Substituting n by 7 in the formula above:

S=180°(7-2)

S=180°(5)

S=900°


8. Vertices: A, B, C, D and E

Number of vertices: n=5

Sum of the measures of the interior angles of the polygon: S=?

S=180°(n-2)

Substituting n by 5 in the formula above:

9. Each interior angle of a regular polygon (i) measures 144°:

i=144°

How many sides does the polygon have?

n=?

i=180°(n-2)/n

Substituting i by 144° in the formula above:

144°=180°(n-2)/n

Solving for n: Cross multiplication:

144°n=180°(n-2)

Eliminating the parentheses on the right side of the equation applying the distributive property:

144°n=180°(n)-180°(2)

Multiplying

144°n=180°n-360°

Grouping n's on the right side of the equation: Subtracting 144°n both sides of the equation:

144°n-144°n=180°n-360°-144°n

Subtracting:

0=36°n-360°

Adding 360° both sides of the equation:

0+360°=36°n-360°+360°

Adding:

360°=36°n

Dividing both sides of the equation by 36°:

360°/36°=36°n/36°

How many sides does the polygon have?

n=?

i=180°(n-2)/n

Substituting i by 108° in the formula above:

108°=180°(n-2)/n

Solving for n: Cross multiplication:

108°n=180°(n-2)

Eliminating the parentheses on the right side of the equation applying the distributive property:

108°n=180°(n)-180°(2)

Multiplying

108°n=180°n-360°

Grouping n's on the right side of the equation: Subtracting 108°n both sides of the equation:

108°n-108°n=180°n-360°-108°n

Subtracting:

0=72°n-360°

Adding 360° both sides of the equation:

0+360°=72°n-360°+360°

Adding:

360°=72°n

Dividing both sides of the equation by 72°:

360°/72°=36°n/72°

The Shop and Save is starting their annual clearance and the store has sent out to all their customers a coupon book offering a variety of savings on their products. The LCD television that you have wanted was reduced by 35% prior to the annual clearance. In addition, the coupon book has a 10% off coupon for the LCD television. Determine what you would pay after applying the discounts given that the price of the LCD television was $1,325. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
a. $728.75
c. $596.25
b. $775.13
d. $46.38

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First discount is the original price reduced by 35% prior to the annual clearance.


So, 35% of 1325 = 0.35 × 1325 = 463.75.


After the discount of $463.75, the price that remains =  1,325 -  463.75 = $861.25.


Then, additional disount of 10%.


10% of $1,325. = 0.10  × 1,325. = 132.50


The final price after discount of 10% = 861.25 - 132.50. =  728.75.


Round to the nearest cent, we get 728.75.


Therefore, you would pay $ 728.75 after applying the discounts.

Whereas the volume of the cylinder is

In △ABC, CM is the median to AB and side BC is 12 cm long. There is a point P∈CM and a line AP intersecting BC at point Q. Find the lengths of segments CQ and BQ, if P divides CM into CP:PM=1:2.

Answers

Answer:

CQ = 2.4 cmBQ = 9.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This development is ugly, but it works.

Let area ΔABC = 6a. Then area ΔAMC = 3a, and area ΔAPC = a. Similarly, area ΔBMC = 3a, and area ΔBPC = a.

Let area ΔCPQ = x. Then ...

... area ΔACQ = area ΔAPC + area ΔCPQ

... area ΔACQ = a + x

Define k such that BQ : CQ = k : 1. Then ...

... area ΔBPQ + area ΔCPQ = area ΔBPC

... kx + x = a = (k +1)x

The division of BC into parts of ratio k : 1 means ...

... area ΔABQ = k × area ΔACQ

... area ΔABQ + area ΔACQ = area ΔABC

... k × area ΔACQ + area ΔACQ = area ΔABC

... (k +1)(x +a) = 6a . . . . . . . area ΔACQ = x+a

... (k +1)x +(k +1)a = 6a . . . . . distributive property

... a + (k +1)a = 6a

... k +2 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by a, simplify

... k = 4

Now, we know BQ : CQ = 4 : 1, so ...

... BQ = 4/5 × 12 cm = 9.6 cm

... CQ = 1/5 × 12 cm = 2.4 cm

All these formulas depend on the previous term only, so we can write equations that show the required relationships. Let the unknown coefficients in our recursion formula be p and q, as in ...

[tex]a_n=p\cdot a_{n-1}+q[/tex]

Then, to get the second term from the first, we have

... 1·p +q = -1

And to get the third term from the second, we have

... -1·p +q = -7

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

... 2p = 6

... p = 3 . . . . . . . this is sufficient to identify the first answer as correct

We can find q from the first equation.

... q = -1 -p = -1 -3 = -4

Final answer:

A quartic polynomial function with roots at -2,4,4,and 3 can be written in standard form as f(x) = (x + 2) * (x - 4)^2 * (x - 3)

Explanation:

A quartic polynomial function is a function of the fourth degree. Its general form is f (x) = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx+ e, where a, b, c, d, and e are constants, and a ≠ 0. Given the roots or zeros of the function (-2,4,4,3), we can construct the quartic polynomial function.

The quartic polynomial with roots r1, r2, r3, r4 is represented by: f(x) = a(x - r1)(x - r2)(x - r3)(x - r4). The roots of your polynomial function are -2, 4, 4, and 3. So, we substitute those roots into the equation:

f(x) = a(x - (-2)) * (x - 4) * (x - 4) * (x - 3). We may choose the leading coefficient a to be 1 (a ≠ 0) for simplicity's sake. Thus, the quartic polynomial function in standard form with zeros -2,4,4, and 3 is:

f(x) = (x + 2) * (x - 4)^2 * (x - 3)

Lim x→ -∞ f(x) = 2

Then the maximun y-value of f(x) approaches 2


g(x)=-5x^2+2

g(x) is a quadratic function. The graph is a parabola

g(x)=ax^2+bx+c

a=-5<0, the parabola opens downward and has a maximum value at

x=-b/(2a)

b=0

c=2

x=-0/2(-5)

x=0/10

x=0

The maximum value is at x=0:

g(0)=-5(0)^2+2=-5(0)+2=0+2→g(0)=2

The maximum value of g(x) is 2

Equilateral triangle ABC has a perimeter of 96 millimeters. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from angle A to side BC at point M. What is the length of MC?
16 mm
24 mm
32 mm
48 mm

Answers

Answer:

16 mm  

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABC is an equilateral triangle, all three sides are the same length.  The perimeter is found by adding together all of these equal sides; letting x represent the length of a side of the triangle, this gives us

x + x + x = 96

Combining like terms,

3x = 96

Dividing both sides by 3,

3x/3 = 96/3

x = 32

Since AM is a perpendicular bisector, it splits BC into two congruent sections. This means the length of MC, half of BC, will be 32/2 = 16.

Option (B) is correct which is 24 mm

Step 1:

Find the length of each side.

Let the side be a,

3×a = 96mm

⇒ a = 96/3

⇒ a = 32 mm

Step 2:

Length of MC = length of BC/2      (As AM is a perpendicular bisector)

⇒ MC = 32/2 = 16 mm

Step 3:

Now, in the triangle, AMC, using Pythagoras theorem,

AC² = MC² + AM²

⇒ (32)² = MC² + (16)²

After solving,

⇒ MC = 16√3 = 27.77 mm

This is closest to option (B) which is 24 mm

At the book store, a bag of chips sells for $2.30 each and candy sells for 1.23 each. You have $23 to spend. Write an equation to describe this situation. What does the y represent? What does the x represent?

Answers

Answer:

2.3x + 1.23y = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The bag of chips is x because it is getting multiplied by 2.3.

The candy is y because it is getting multiplied by 1.23.

The reason they equal 23 is to figure out the maximum amount of each snack you can get without going over the money limit.

adult tickets to the fall play cost $8 and student tickets cost $4. The drama calss sold 20 more adult tickets than student tickets to the fall play. If the class collected $880 from ticket sales, how many adult tickets were sold?

Answers

Answer:

80 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract the extra 20 adult tickets from ticket numbers and revenue, you get ...

equal numbers of $4 and $8 tickets were sold for a total of $720 collected

Since that is some number of ticket pairs worth $12 per pair, there must have been ...

$720/12 = 60 pairs of $4 and $8 tickets

The number of adult tickets is 20 more than this, so is

60 + 20 = 80 . . . . adult tickets sold

_____

If you feel better with an equation, rather than numerical reasoning, you can let n represent the number of adult tickets. Then n-20 is the number of student tickets and total revenue is ...

8n +4(n-20) = 880

12n -80 = 880 . . . . . simplify

12n = 960 . . . . . . . . . add 80

n = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12

_____

Comment on the different solutions

Using n for the number of adult tickets, we effectively chose a scenario where we added 20 student tickets to bring the total to $960 for some number of $12 pairs of tickets. That number is 80, the number of adult tickets.

In the "word solution" given at first, we effectively solved for the number of student tickets, then added 20 to get the number of adult tickets. The corresponding equation would be ...

4s +8(s+20) = 880 . . . s = number of student tickets sold

12s = 720 . . . . . . . . . subtract 160, the price of the 20 extra adult tickets
