Tom was able to save 35% more this year than he did last year. If he saved $140 last year, how much did he save this year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$189

Step-by-step explanation:

35% of 140 = 49

140 + 149 = 189

Answer 2

Tom's total saving this year is $189.

It is a 35 percent increased saving from last year's $140.

What are percentages?

Percentages are fractional values where the denominator is fixed to be 100.

To convert percentage into number, we multiply by 100.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are informed that Tom was able to save 35% more this year than he did last year.

We are asked if he saved $140 last year, then how much did he save this year.

The increase in Tom's savings = 35% of last year's savings,

or, the increase = 35/100 * 140 (To convert percentage into quantity, we divide by 100).

or, the increase = $49.

Therefore, Tom's total savings this year = Last year's savings + Increase,

or, Tom's total saving this year = $140 + $49 = $189.

Using translation concepts, the method that Howard could have used to determine the coordinates of the vertices of the image is:

(x,y) -> (-x,y).

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

A reflection over the y-axis can be described according to the following rule:

Can someone please teach me how to do this? You can please do like 2 questions and please explain exactly how you got the answers so I can do the rest myself. please

Answers

All of these questions require one thing: trigonometric functions.

There are 3 main trigonometric functions, which can only be used on right triangles: sine, cosine, and tangent.

Sine = opposite / hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

When trying to figure out what function to use, we always start by looking from the angle. Take problem a, for example. Looking from angle E, of which the value is not given, we have the side opposite and the side adjacent. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

---The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle. It is never considered the opposite or adjacent side.

Let's set up our function with the given information from problem a.

tan(x) = 9.7 / 5.2

---The tangent of an unknown angle is equal to the quotient of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

Now, solving for the value of x will require a calculator. We'll need to use what's called an inverse trigonometric function. Most calculators have these directly above the regular trigonometric functions, and the inverse functions are accessed using a "second" key.

---Ensure that your calculator is in degrees, not radians!

x = tan^-1(9.7 / 5.2)

x = 61.805 = 62 degrees

Next, let's take a look at problem b. This time, we're solving for a side length instead of an angle. But, we're still going to start by looking from our angle.


Looking from the 38 degree angle, we are given the adjacent side and an unknown hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use the cosine function.

cosine(38) = 53.1 / r

---The cosine of a 38 degree angle is equal to the quotient of 53.1 and an unknown hypotenuse, r.

Use your algebra skills to isolate the variable r.

r * cosine(38) = 53.1

r = 53.1 / cosine(38)

---From here, all you need to do is plug this into your calculator. Since we are solving for a side length (and given an angle), we are just using the regular trigonometric function buttons on the calculator.

r = 67.385 = 67.4 units

Hope this helps!

Note: the first term should be b(1).

Answers

Answer:

b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the sequence number, with n=1 the first number b(1) -11

The sequence changes by +8 each step.

b(1)   -11         + 8 =   -3

b(2)   -3          + 8 =    5

b(3)   5         + 8 =   13

b(4) 13

b(1) = -11

b(2) = -3.   or b(1) + 1*8

b(3) =  5,    or b(1) + 2*8

b(4) =  13,   or b(1) + 3*8

We note that each step adds a multiple of 8 to the initial value of -11.  This can be stated as (n-1)*8

The formula for this sequence would be b(n) = b(1) + (n-1)*8

b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8

Check:  Does n=3 return the value of 5?

b(n) = -11 + (n-1)*8

how to figure out pythagoras theorem?

Answers

Any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.

What is the Pythagoras Theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that if a triangle is right-angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In △ABD and △ACB,

∠A = ∠A (common)

∠ADB = ∠ABC (both are right angles)

Thus, △ABD ∼ △ACB (by AA similarity criterion)

Similarly, we can prove △BCD ∼ △ACB.

Thus △ABD ∼ △ACB,

Therefore, AD/AB = AB/AC.

We can say that AD × AC = AB².

Similarly, △BCD ∼ △ACB.

Therefore,

CD/BC = BC/AC.

We can also say that

CD × AC = BC².

Adding these 2 equations, we get

AB² + BC² = (AD × AC) + (CD × AC)

AB² + BC² =AC(AD +DC)

AB² + BC² = AC²

Hence proved

Thus, any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.

To solve the differential equation:

Rearrange the given equation to get all the terms containing y on the left side, and all the terms containing x on the right side:

         [tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1+x}{xy}[/tex]

[tex]\implies y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1+x}{x}[/tex]

Gracie earns 17.25/h for a 37.5h week, plus extra for overtime.

For one hour she earns $17.25

For 37.5h she earns = 37.5h x 17.25

The total money she earns = $646.87 + overtime pay

During store inventory, she worked 48.5h. Her gross earnings were $1,471.88.

If the given diagram is modified a bit it will look as shown below, the two angles will be 61° because the two angles are corresponding angles.

Now, since 61° and x lie on the same side of the line, therefore, the sum of the two angles will be,

61° + x = 180°

x = 119°

Also, the angles measured at 61° and (3y-23)° lie on the same side of the transversal, therefore, these two angles are corresponding angles. Thus,

The time it takes me to wash the dishes is uniformly distributed between 7 minutes and 15 minutes.
What is the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 13 and 14 minutes?
Give your answer accurate to two decimal places.

Answers

Hi :)

. Mathematically speaking, there are nine different times your dish-washing could take you. It could take you 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 minutes.

And the probability for it to take you, say, 10 minutes, is equal to every other probability. This is, therefore, a situation of equiprobability.

100 / 9 = about 11,11111…
Meaning that each of the different outcome (be it for it to take 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 minutes) has a 11,1111… probability to occur.

However, we are interested in two specific outcomes if our situation: we are interested in the dish-washing taking us 13 or 14 minutes.

2 x 11,1111 = roughly 22, 22 % probability, or 0,22 of probability.

I hope this helps! Have a nice day :)

The circuit is working, and all three bulbs are lit. If a switch at A is opened,
what will happen to the circuit?

A. All three bulbs will stay lit
B. All three bulbs will go out.
C. Bulbs 1 and 2 will go out, but bulb will remain lit.
D. Bulb 1 will go out, but bulbs 2 and 3 2 will remain lit.

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all bulbs are connected in series, by opening switch A, you break the series connection, and all bulbs go out.

Serial bulb will go off

PQ is a chord of length 8 cm of a circle of radius 5 cm. The tangents at P and Q intersect at a point T. the length TP in cm is: ​

Answers

Given :-PQ = 8cmRadius = 5cmTwo Tangents = P & Q. Construction :-Join OT. Solution :-

Here, ΔTPQ is isosceles and TO is the angle bisector of ∠PTO.

[∵ TP=TQ = Tangents from T upon the circle]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∴ OT⊥PQ

So, PR = RQ = 4cm.

⠀⠀⠀

___________________________________________

[tex]\longmapsto{}[/tex]By Applying Pythagoras Theorem in ∆OPR :

OR = √OP² - PR²

OR = √5² - 4²

OR = 3cm

__________________________________________

Now,

[tex]\leadsto[/tex]∠TPR + ∠RPO = 90° (∵TPO=90°)

[tex]\leadsto[/tex]∠TPR + ∠PTR (∵TRP=90°)

[tex]\leadsto[/tex]∴ ∠RPO = ∠PTR

⠀⠀

∴ Right triangle TRP is similar to the right triangle PRO. [By A-A Rule of similar triangles]

⟼[tex]\frac{TP}{PO} = \frac{RP}{RO} [/tex]

⟼[tex]\frac{TP}{5} = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

⟼[tex]TP= \frac{20}{3} [/tex]

Hence you got your answer here.
