A company's sales increased 20% this year, to $6740. What were their sales last year?

Answers

Answer 1

The sales last year of the company is 5617

How to determine the sales last year?

The given parameters are:

Company sales = 6740

Percentage increase = 20%

The sales of the company last year (x) to date is calculated as:

Company sales = (1 + Proportion) * Last year sales

Substitute the known values in the above equation

6740 = (1 + 20%) * x

Evaluate the sum

6740 = 1.2 * x

Divide both sides by 1.2

x = 5617

Hence, the sales last year is 5617

The limit of f(x) as x goes to 1 will not exist for function III.

What is a limit?

A limit is given by the value of function f(x) as x tends to a value. For a function with different lateral limits at a point x = a, the limit will not exist at the point x = a. Additionally, the limit may not exist at a point if there is a non-removeable discontinuity.

Factoring the function 1, the limit will be given as follows:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{1 - x^2}{x - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(1 - x)(1 + x)}{x - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} -(1 +x) = -2[/tex]

Hence the limit exists.

Factoring the function 2, the limit will be given as follows:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x^2 - x^3}{x^2 - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x^2(1 - x)}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} -\frac{x^2}{x + 1} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence the limit exists.

Factoring the function 3, the limit will be given as follows:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x + 1}{x^2 - 1} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x + 1}{(x - 1)(x + 1)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{1}{x - 1}[/tex]

Non-revemoveable discontinuity, as we can't remove x - 1 for the denominator, ence the limit does not exist for function III.

After 3 minutes, a submarine had descended to −550 feet. After 8 minutes, the submarine had descended to −600 feet. Assuming a linear function, write an equation in the form d(t)=mt+b that shows the depth, d(t), after t minutes.

Answers

Answer:

d(t)=-10t-520

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the gradient (m) using the formula [tex]m=\frac{d(t)2-d(t)1}{t2-t1}[/tex]

using the two points you have been given: 1(3,-550) and 2(8,-600)

so you substitute these points into the equation [tex]m=\frac{-600+500}{8-3}[/tex]

m=-10

Now that you have found the m-value you need to find the b-value by using one of the points you already have, I will use Point 2 (8,-600), and substitute it into the equation and solve

d(t)=-10t+b

-600=-10*8+b

-600=-80+b

-520=b

Therefore, the equation is d(t)=-10t-520

How tall is a pole if a 40 ft guy wire reaches from the top of that pole
to a point on the ground 19 ft from the bottom of the pole?

Answers

answer is 35.20 ft
Step by step
Using Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We are looking for the height “a”
We know b= 19, c= 40
So we can substitute know numbers into the equation and solve
a^2 + 19^2 = 40^2
Subtract 19^2 from both sides
a^2 = 40^2 - 19^2
a^2 = 1600 - 361
a^2 = 1239
Take square root of both sides

a = 35.20 ft

f(x)=4x+1 and g(x)=2x2+1, find (f∘g)(x) and (g∘f)(x)

Answers

The value of the composite functions (g∘f)(x) and (f∘g)(x)   are 32x^2 + 16x + 3 and 8x^2 + 5 respectively

Composite functions

Composite function is also known as function of a function. They are determined by representing x with the other function.

Given the following functions

f(x)=4x+1

g(x)=2x^2+1

(f∘g)(x) = f(g(x))

(f∘g)(x) = f(2x^2+1)

(f∘g)(x) = 4(2x^2+1) + 1

(f∘g)(x)  =8x^2 + 5


For the composite function (g∘f)(x)

(g∘f)(x) = g(f(x))

(g∘f)(x) = g(4x+1)

Replace x wit 4x+1  to have:

(g∘f)(x) = 2(4x+1)^2 + 1

(g∘f)(x)= 2(16x^2+8x+1) + 1

(g∘f)(x) = 32x^2 + 16x + 3

Hence the value of the composite functions (g∘f)(x) and (f∘g)(x)   are 32x^2 + 16x + 3 and 8x^2 + 5 respectively

Question: 2 Based on the mass of lactose of 0.28 grams in 1 mL of skim milk, calculate the percent composition of lactose in skim milk.​

Answers

Considering the definition of mass volume percent, the percent composition of lactose in skim milk is 28%.

Mass volume percent

The concentration of solutions is the amount of solute contained in a given amount of solvent or solution. In other words, the relationship between the amount of solute and the amount of solvent is called concentration.

Mass volume percent (% m/V) is a measure of concentration that indicates the number of grams of solute in each 100 mL of solution.

In other words, mass-volume percent is an intensive property that is defined as the mass of solute (in grams) that there are in 100 mL of solution and it is calculated by applying the following equation:

[tex]Mass volume percent=\frac{mass solute (grams)}{volume solution (mL)}x100[/tex]

This is, mass volume percent is defined as the ratio of the mass of solute that is present in a solution, relative to the volume of the solution, as a whole.

Percent composition of lactose in skim milk

In this case, you know:

mass solute= 0.28 gramsvolume solution= 1 mL

Replacing in the definition of mass volume percent:

[tex]Mass volume percent=\frac{0.28 grams}{1 mL}x100[/tex]

Solving:

mass volume percent= 28 %

Finally, the percent composition of lactose in skim milk is 28%.

The least number of colors you need to correct color in the sections of these pictures so that no two touching sections are the same color is 5 colors. This can be obtained by simply giving colors to the small shapes according to the criteria.

What is the least number of colors?

From the question the figure, the number of colored sections with which are not colored with respect to a "touching" colored section, would not be half of the total colored sections since the sections are not alternating as they still meet at a common point.

After all, it notes no two touching sections, not adjacent sections.

There is no equation to calculate this requirement with respect to the total number of sections.

     

Taking one triangle or square as the starting we can give colors to each small units. This figure will be the start of sequence of other small figures.

If a square were to be this starting shape that have same color as that color of the square.

Now from the remaining given another color to the starting figure. We will get that shapes, that will have same color.

Like that the remaining figures are given colors.          

                                   

Therefore, the least number of colored sections you can color in the sections meeting the given requirement, is 5 sections for this first figure.

Hence the least number of colors you need to correct color in the sections of these pictures so that no two touching sections are the same color is 5 colors.

Answers

A. No, AB and BC are not congruent

B. No, AC and BD are not congruent

Calculating length of a segment

From the question, we are to determine if the given pairs of segments are congruent

To do this, we will determine the length of the line segments

Consider the given number line,

AB = -2 - (-5) = -2 + 5 = 3

BC = 0 - (-2) = 0 + 2 = 2

AC = 0 - (-5) = 0 + 5 = 5

BD = 5 - (-2) = 5 + 2 = 7

Now,

A. AB and BC

AB = 3 and BC =2

AB and BC are not congruent.

Thus, No
