[tex][/tex]Maya bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $400 less than the desktop. She paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 7.5 % per year and for the laptop it was 8% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $371. How much did each computer cost before finance charges? Desktop: $Laptop: $
1. Let D be price of desktop
let L be price of a Laptop
• we know that the laptop cost $400 less than the desktop
L = D -400
• for desktop D, Maya paid interest of 7.5% per year: 7.5/100 = 0.075
,• For Laptop L , Maya paid interest of 8 % per year : 8/100 = 0.08
,• We know that total charges for finance was $ 371,
therefore :
0.075 D + 0.08L = 371, (remember from the above , L = D-400 , lets substitute this value for L)
0.075 D + 0.08( D-400) = 371
0.075D + 0.08 D -32 = 371
0.155D = (371 +32)=403
D = 403/0.0155
D = $26 000
and L = D-400
= 26000-400
= $25600
• This means that Desktopcost $26000 and Laptop cost $25600,

Write an equation of a circle with diameter AB.A(1,1), B(11,11)Choose the correct answer below.A. (X-6)2 + (y-6)2 = 11C. (x-6)2 – (y+6)2 = 50E. (X+6)2 + (y-6)2 = 50G. (X+6)2 – (y + 6)2 = 50
The question asks us to find the equation of a circle with diameter AB with coordinates:
A = (1, 1), B = (11, 11)
In order to solve this, we need to know the general form of the equation of a circle.
The general form of the equation of a circle is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 \\ \text{where,} \\ (a,b)=\text{ coordinates of the center of the circle} \\ r=\text{radius of the circle} \end{gathered}[/tex]We have been given the coordinates of the diameter. This means that finding the midpoint of the diameter
will give us the center coordinates of the circle, which is (a, b).
The formula for finding the midpoint of a line is given below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x,y)=\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2} \\ \text{where,} \\ x_2,y_2=\text{ second coordinate} \\ x_1,y_1=\text{first coordinate} \end{gathered}[/tex]For better understanding, a sketch is made below:
Therefore, let us find the coordinates of the center of the circle using the midpoint formula given above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a,b=\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2} \\ x_2=11,y_2=11 \\ x_1=1,y_1=1 \\ \\ \therefore(a,b)=\frac{11+1}{2},\frac{11+1}{2} \\ \\ (a,b)=6,6 \\ Thus, \\ a=6,b=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now that we have the coordinates of the center, we now need to find the value of the radius of the circle.
This is done by finding the length from the center of the circle to any side of the diameter.
Let us use from point (6,6) which is the center to the point (11, 11) which is one side of the diameter.
The formula for finding the distance between two points is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |\text{distance}|^2=(y_2-y^{}_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2_{} \\ \text{where,} \\ x_2,y_2=\text{second point} \\ x_1,y_1=\text{first point} \end{gathered}[/tex]hence, we can now find the square of the radius as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r^2=(y_2-y^{}_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2_{} \\ x_2,y_2=11,11_{} \\ x_1,y_1=6,6 \\ \\ \therefore r^2=(11-6)^2+(11-6)^2 \\ r^2=5^2+5^2 \\ r^2=25+25 \\ \therefore r^2=50 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now that we have the radius, we can now compute the equation of the circle as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 \\ a=6,b=6,r^2=50 \\ \\ \therefore(x-6)^2+(y-6)^2=50\text{ (Option B)} \end{gathered}[/tex]A graph of the circle is given below:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x^2+1-1=-1(5y^2+y)-1 \\ 4x^2=-(5y^2+y)-1 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Next step we take the square root of both sides;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{4x^2}=\pm\sqrt[]{-(5y^2+y)-1} \\ 2x=\pm\sqrt[]{-(5y^2+y)-1} \end{gathered}[/tex]We can now open the parenthesis on the right hand side;

The speed at which diesel train was moving is = 150mph
In the above question, it is given that,
Let the speed of the diesel train which left Abuja be x mph
then, speed of freight train which is moving 50 mph faster than diesel train = (50 + x)mph
Further, the freight train finally caught up the diesel train after three hours
So time taken by freight train = 3 hours
While time taken by diesel train would 1 hour more than freight train as its moving slower = 3 + 1 = 4 hours
Now, it is given that both the trains finally catch up, it means the distance travelled by both the trains would be equal
We know that,
Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance travelled by Diesel train = distance travelled by Freight train
4x = 3(50 + x)
4x = 150 + 3x
x = 150 mph
Hence, the speed at which diesel train was moving is = 150mph

The figure in the picture shows 3 squares that form a right triangle. Each side of the triangle is determined by one side of the squares.
The only information we know is the area of two of the squares. The area of a square is calculated as the square of one of its sides
[tex]A=a^2[/tex]So to determine the side lengths of the squares, we can calculate the square root of the given areas:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=a^2 \\ a=\sqrt[]{A} \end{gathered}[/tex]For one of the squares, the area is 64m², you can determine the side length as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\sqrt[]{64} \\ a=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]For the square with an area 225m², the side length can be calculated as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\sqrt[]{225} \\ a=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, to determine the third side of the triangle, we have to apply the Pythagorean theorem. This theorem states that the square of the hypothenuse (c) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides (a and b), it can be expressed as follows:
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]If we know two sides of the triangle, we can determine the length of the third one. In this case, the missing side is the hypothenuse (c), to calculate it you have to add the squares of the sides and then apply the square root:
[tex]\begin{gathered} c^2=225+64 \\ c=\sqrt[]{225+64} \\ c=\sqrt[]{289} \\ c=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the triangle's sides have the following lengths: 8, 15 and, 17
Now that we know the side lengths we can calculate the perimeter of the triangle. The perimeter of any shape is calculated by adding its sides:

find x..in a right triangle ️ with a height of 10 and hypotenuse of 19
Since it is a right triangle we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where:
c= hypotenuse (the longest side) = 19
a & b = the other 2 legs of the triangle
Replacing:
19^2 = 10^2 + x^2
Solve for x
361 = 100 + x^2
361 - 100 = x^2
261 = x^2
√261 =x
x= 16.16

Writing a equation of a circle centers at the origin
ANSWER
[tex]x^2+y^2=100[/tex]EXPLANATION
The general equation of a circle is:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]where (h, k) = the center of the circle
r = radius of the circle (i.e. distance from any point on its circumference to the center of the circle)
The center of the circle is the origin, that is:
[tex](h,k)=(0,0)[/tex]To find the radius, apply the formula for distance between two points:
[tex]r=\sqrt[]{(x_1-h)^2+(y_1-k)^2_{}}[/tex]where (x1, y1) is the point the circle passes through
Hence, the radius is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{(0-0)^2+(-10-0)^2}=\sqrt[]{0+(-10)^2} \\ r=\sqrt[]{100} \\ r=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the equation of the circle is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=(10)^2 \\ \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=100 \end{gathered}[/tex]Identify the key features of the graph, including the x - intercepts. Y-intercept, axis of symmetry, and vertex. (3)
The graph of the given finction is:

Find the volume of a cone with a height of 8 m and a base diameter of 12 mUse the value 3.14 for it, and do not do any rounding.Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
The volume V of a cone with radius r and height h is:
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h[/tex]And the radius is half the diameter. Since this cone has a diameter of 12 m, the radius is:
[tex]r=\frac{12m}{2}=6m[/tex]And the height is 8m. Thus, the volume V is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi(6m)^28m \\ \\ V=\frac{\pi}{3}(36m^2)8m \\ \\ V=\frac{\pi}{3}(288)(m^2\cdot m) \\ \\ V=\pi\cdot\frac{288}{3}m^3 \\ \\ V=96\pi m^{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, using 3.14 for π, we obtain:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=96\cdot3.14m^3 \\ \\ V=301.44m^{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the volume of that cone is 301.44m³.
how do I find the perimeter of a quadrilateral on a graph?
The perimeter of a figure is always the sum of the lengths of the sides.
If we have the coordinates of the vertices of the quadrilateral, we can calculate the length of each side as the distance between the vertices.
For example, the length of a side AB will be the distance between the points A and B:
[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(x_b-x_a)^2+\mleft(y_b-y_a\mright)^2}[/tex]Adding the length of the four sides will give the perimeter of the quadrilateral.

Saltarecis a maker of high-end apparel for woman. For market research one afternoon, Saltare’s sales team surveyed adult women at a busy airport on the number of blouses they own. The histogram below summarizes the data. Use the histogram to answer each of the questions
(a)
The class width of the histogram is given by the range of each bar in the histogram, that is, the upper limit minus the lower limit of a bar (plus 1, since we need to include the boundary values of the range).
Looking at the first bar, the upper limit is 19 and the lower limit is 11, therefore the class width is 9 (because there are 9 elements between 11 and 19, so we need to add 1 to the subtraction of 19 and 11)
(b)
The most frequent class is the third one (third vertical bar).
The frequency of this bar (that is, the value in the y-axis) is equal to 8.
Therefore 8 women are in this class.
(c)
The number of women with 28 or fewer blouses is given by the frequency of the first two bars.
Adding the frequency of the first bar (1) and the frequency of the second bar (5), we have that 6 women have 28 or fewer blouses.
What is 120 percent of 118?
120 percent of 118 is expressed mathematically as;
120% of 118
120/100 * 118
= 12/10 * 118
= 6/5 * 118
= 708/5
= 141.6%
Hence 120 percent of 118 is 141.6%

Required: To determine how accurately the angle must be measured if the percent error in estimating the tree's height is less than 5%.
Explanation: To estimate the angle, we will use the trigonometric ratio
[tex]tanx=\frac{h}{50}\text{ ...\lparen1\rparen}[/tex]where h is the tree's height, and x is the angle of elevation to the top of the tree.
Hence we get

[tex]sec^2x\cdot\frac{xdx}{x}=\frac{h}{50}\cdot\frac{dh}{h}\text{ ...\lparen2\rparen}[/tex]Also, it is given that the error in estimating the tree's height is less than 5%.
So
[tex]\frac{dh}{h}=0.05[/tex]Also, we need to convert the angle x in radians:
[tex]x=1.32296\text{ rad}[/tex]Putting these values in equation (2) gives:
[tex]\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{197.59}{50}\cdot\frac{cos^2(1.32296)}{1.32296}\cdot0.05[/tex]Solving the above equation gives:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{dx}{x}=3.9518\cdot0.04548551012\cdot0.05 \\ =0.008987\text{ radians} \end{gathered}[/tex]Let

Given : Two groups
Group A: contains 390 people.
Three fifths of the people in group A will be selected to win $100 fuel cards.
So, the number of people who will win = 3/5 * 390 = 234
Group B : contains 553 people
the group will receive the same number of fuel cards
so, the group will receive 234 cards
The non-winners of group A = 390 - 234 = 156
The non-winners of group B = 553 - 234 = 319
The ratio between them = 156 : 319

[tex]\frac{5}{8}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5-3}{8}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{2/2}{8/2}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]Therefore, the difference in pounds between the heaviest and the lightest kittens, is:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]Find the length of the segment indicated. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. Note: One segment of each triangle is a tangent line
Given
A circle with a tangent drawn to it forming one side of a triangle
Required
we need to find the diameter of the circle
Explanation
clearly it is a right angled triangle as radius through point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent. let the lenght of missing side be d
Therefore
[tex]d^2+12^2=20^2[/tex]or
[tex]d^2=400-144[/tex]or
[tex]d^2=256[/tex]or d=16
the first yr a community college offered a Certificate in data management , 12 people earned the certificate. the next year 17 people earned the certificate. what was the percent increase in the # of people earning the certificate?
we make an expression
[tex]12\times x=17[/tex]we know that if we multiply to twelve by the ratio of increase we will obtain 17
now solve for x that is the ratio
[tex]x=\frac{17}{12}=1.42[/tex]multiply by 100 to obtain a percentage
[tex]1.42\times100=142[/tex]the percentage is 142%
