Answer:
14.73%
Step-by-step explanation:
firstly let's divide the phone price into 7 equal parts. by this equation 219.00/7=31.28
So Alec needs to save $31.28 but we want the percentage.
by equation x%*212.34=31.28
x=(31.28*100)/212.34=3128/212.34=14.73
so Alec needs to save 14.73% of 212.34 each week.
10. Determine if the following sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then, find the 67th term. 36, 30, 24, 18, ... a. arithmetic, -360 b. arithmetic, 12 c. geometric, -360 d. geometric, 12
hello
to determine if the sequence is arthimetic or a geometric progression, we check if a common difference or common ratio exists between the two sequence
the sequence is 36, 30, 24, 18,......
from careful observation, this is an arthimetic progression because a common difference exists between them
d = 30 - 36 = -6
or
d = 24 - 30 = -6
to find the 67th term, let's apply the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} T_n=a+(n-1)d \\ T_{67}=a+(67-1)d \\ a=\text{first term = 36} \\ d=common\text{ difference = }-6 \\ T_{67}=36+(67-1)\times-6 \\ T_{67}=36+66\times-6 \\ T_{67}=36-396 \\ T_{67}=-360 \end{gathered}[/tex]Set A is the set of all whole numbers to 20. Set B is the set of all odd integers between 8 and 18. How many numbers do the two sets have in common?
ANSWER
5 numbers they have in common
EXPLANATION
Set A has all whole numbers to 20:
[tex]A\colon1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20[/tex]Set B has only odd integer between 8 and 18:
[tex]B\colon9,11,13,15,17[/tex]We can see that set B is inside set A, because it has whole numbers that are less than 20, so the amount of numbers they have in common is all of set B: 5 numbers.
A student sketched some art on an 8-inch x 10-inch piece of paper. She wants to resize it to fit a 4-inch x 6 inchframe (as shown below).What percent of the original sketch was still able to be included in the frame?
So,
The area of art can be found multiplying:
8in * 10in = 80in²
And, the area of the frame, can be also found multiplying the dimentions:
4in * 6in = 24in².
If we divide, we'll obtain a ratio between the area of the frame and the area of the art as follows:
[tex]\frac{24}{80}=0.3[/tex]And, 0.3*100% = 30%.
So,30 percent of the original sketch was still able to be included in the frame.
The exponential function that represents an experiment to track the growth of agroup bacterial cells is f(x) = 2200(1.03)*, where f(x) is the number of cells and x isthe time in minutes.• Sketch this scenario, including variables, title, axes and appropriate scales.• How many bacterial cells were there to begin the experiment?• What is the percentage growth of the bacterial cells per minute?• How many bacterial cells are there after one-half hour? Round to the nearestthousand.• How long will it take for there to be 7500 bacterial cells? Round your answerto the nearest whole minute?
For this problem we are going to be working with the function:
[tex]f(x)=2200(1.03)^x[/tex]where x is the time in minutes and f(x) represents the number of bacteria at any given time x.
Part 1.
To sketch the graph we need to determine some points of it; to get them we give values to x and plug them in the expression for the funtion.
If x=0 we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(0)=2200(1.03)^0 \\ f(0)=2200 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have the point (0,2200).
If x=10 we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(10)=2200(1.03)^{10} \\ f(10)=2956.616 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have the point (10,2956.616).
If x=20 we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(20)=2200(1.03)^{20} \\ f(20)=3973.445 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have the point (20,3973.445).
If x=30 we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(30)=2200(1.03)^{30} \\ f(30)=5339.977 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have the point (30,5339.977).
If x=40 we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(40)=2200(1.03)^{40} \\ f(40)=7176.483 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have the point (40,7176.483).
If x=50 we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(50)=2200(1.03)^{50} \\ f(50)=9644.593 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then we have the point (50,9644.593).
Then we have the points (0,2200), (10,2956.616), (20,3973.445), (30,5339.977), (40,7176.483) and (50,9644.593). Plotting this points on the plane and joining them with a smooth line we have that the grah of the function is:
Part 2.
To determine how many bacteria were at the beginnning of the experiment we plug x=0 in the function describing the population, we did this in the previous question; therefore we conclude that there were 2200 bacteria at the beginning of the experiment.
Part 3.
We notice that the function fgiven has the form:
[tex]f(x)=a(1+r)^x[/tex]where a=2200 and r=0.03; for this type of function the growth rate in decimal form is given by r. Therefore we conclude that the percentage growth in this function is 3%.
Part 4.
To determine how many bacteria were in the experiment after one half hout we plug x=30 in the function give; we did this in part 1 of the proble.Therefore we conclude that after one half hour there were approximately 5340 bacteria cells. (for this part we roun to the neares whole number)
Part 5.
To determine how long it takes to have 7500 cells we plug f(x)=7500 in the expression given and solve the resulting equation for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2200(1.03)^x=7500 \\ 1.03^x=\frac{7500}{2200} \\ 1.03^x=\frac{75}{22} \end{gathered}[/tex]To remove the base we need to remember that:
[tex]b^y=x\Leftrightarrow y=\log _bx[/tex]Then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.03^x=\frac{75}{22} \\ x=\log _{1.03}(\frac{75}{22}) \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we use the change of base property for logarithms:
[tex]\log _bx=\frac{\ln x}{\ln b}[/tex]Then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\log _{1.03}(\frac{75}{22}) \\ x=\frac{\ln (\frac{75}{22})}{\ln 1.03} \\ x=41.491 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore it takes 41 minutes to have 7500 cells.

I need help with this kind of math please. I have tried doing it but I’m so lost and confused
GF < GE < EF
Explanation:The given angles:
∠G = 74°
∠F = 65°
∠G + ∠F + ∠E = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
74 + 65 + ∠E = 180
139 + ∠E = 180
∠E = 180 - 139
∠E = 41°
The size of the side length of the triangles corresponds the size of the angles.
The higher the angle, the higher the side length and viceversa
∠E corresponds to side GF
∠F corresponds to side GE
∠G corresponds to side EF
∠E = 41 is the lowest, followed by ∠F = 65, highest is ∠G = 74
From least to greatest:
GF < GE < EF
What is the solution for the system given below 4x + 8y = 20 and -4x + 2y = -30
You have the folloiwng system of equations:
4x + 8y = 20
-4x + 2y = -30
In order to solve the previous system, proceed as follow:
Sum the equations and solve for y:
4x + 8y = 20
-4x + 2y = -30
10y = -10
Divide by 10 both sides
y = -10/10
y = -1
Now, replace the previous value of y into the any of the equations of the system, for instance, into the first equation and solve for x:
4x + 8y = 20
4x + 8(-1) = 20
4x - 8 = 20
add 8 boht sides, simlplify and divide by 4 both sides:
4x = 20 + 8
4x = 28
x = 28/4
x = 7
Hence, the solution of the given system of equations is given by:
x = 7
y = -1
If y varies directly with x and y=12when.x=9 what is the value of x when y=36?

12/9 =k
y= 12/9x
For y=36
36 = 12/9 x
Solve for x:
36 /(12/9)= x
27=x
x=27

ANSWER
Exactly one solution.
EXPLANATION
We are given the equation:
-6(x + 7) = -4x - 2
To find the number of solutions, we have to solve for x:
-6x - 42 = -4x - 2
Collect like terms:
-6x + 4x = 42 - 2
-2x = 40
x = 40 / -2
x = -20
Therefore, the equation has exactly one solution.

An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 30 cubic centimeters per second . The pyramíd , at the top, has the shape of a square with sides of length 7cm and the height is 14 cm.
ANSWER :
The answer is 30 cm/sec
EXPLANATION :
We have an inverted square pyramid with a square side of 7 cm and a height is 14 cm.
We need to find the area of the square at 2 cm from below.
Using similar triangles, we will express the side view as 2D :
We need to find the side of the square at 2 cm level.
The ratio of the sides of the smaller triangle and bigger triangle must be the same :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{ smaller}}{\text{ bigger}}=\frac{x}{7}=\frac{2}{14} \\ \\ \text{ Solve for x :} \\ \text{ Cross multiply :} \\ 14x=7(2) \\ 14x=14 \\ x=\frac{14}{14}=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the value of x is 1, then the side of the square at 2 cm level is 1 cm
The area of that square is :
A = 1 x 1 = 1 cm^2
The inverted pyramid is filled with water at a constant rate of Q = 30 cm^3 per second.
And we are asked to find the rate when the water level is 2 cm or when the area of the square is 1 cm^2 from the result we calculated above.
Recall the formula of rate :
[tex]\begin{gathered} Q=AV \\ \text{ where :} \\ Q\text{ = constant rate in }\frac{cm^3}{sec} \\ \\ A\text{ = Area of the section in }cm^2 \\ \\ V\text{ = Velocity or rate in }\frac{cm}{sec} \end{gathered}[/tex]We have the following :

[tex]\sqrt[]{\frac{64}{100}}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]There are 45 boys and 81 girls in a dance competition. What is the ratio of boys to girls, in the simplest form?
Answer
[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]Explanation
Given
• 45 boys
,• 81 girls
Procedure
We have to find the ratio of boys to girls, which can be written as 45:81 or:
[tex]\frac{45}{81}[/tex]However, we have to simplify. Both numbers are multiple of 9, thus:
[tex]=\frac{\frac{45}{9}}{\frac{81}{9}}=\frac{5}{9}[/tex]Then every five boys there are 9 girls.
Please explain in depth. Thank you in advance for a response.
We have the function:
[tex]y=f(t)=(-18t-3)\cdot(t-2).[/tex]a. Zeros of the function
By definition, the zeros are the values of t such that f(t) = 0. In this case, we have:
[tex]f(t)=(-18t-3)\cdot(t-2)=0\text{.}[/tex]Rewriting the function, we have:
[tex]f(t)=(-18)\cdot(t+\frac{1}{6})\cdot(t-2)=0.[/tex]So the zeros of the function are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} t=-\frac{1}{6}, \\ t=2. \end{gathered}[/tex]b. Meaning of the zeros
The function y = f(t) represents the height of the ball at time t.
• So the zeros are the times at which the function reaches a height equal to zero.
,• We see that one zero is positive and the other negative. Only the positive zero (t = 2) is meaningful because the negative (t = -1/6) represents a negative value of time!
c. Initial height
The ball is thrown at time t = 0. The height of the ball at time t = 0 is:
[tex]y=f(0)=(-18\cdot0-3)\cdot(0-2)=(-3)\cdot(-2)=6.[/tex]So the ball is thrown from a height of 6 feet.
Answer
• a., The zeros are t = -1/6 and t = 2.
,• b., The zeros are the values of time at which the height of the ball is zero. Only a positive value of time makes sense, so only the zero t = 2 is meaningful.
,• c., The ball is thrown from a height of 6 feet.
