Dave and Ellen are newly married and living in their first house. The yearly premium on their homeowner's insurance policy is $450 for the coverage they need. Their insurance company offers a 5 percent discount if they install dead-bolt locks on all exterior doors. The couple can also receive a 2 percent discount if they install smoke detectors on each floor. They have contacted a locksmith, who will provide and install dead-bolt locks on the two exterior doors for $50 each. At the local hardware store, smoke detectors cost $7 each, and the new house has two floors. Dave and Ellen can install them themselves.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 4.44years

B. 1.5years

C. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Calculation to determine how many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the dead-bolts

First step is to determine the Annual discount for dead-bolts using this formula

Annual discount for dead-bolts=Discount percent × Annual premium

Let plug in the formula

Annual discount for dead-bolts=0.05 × $450

Annual discount for dead-bolts=$22.50

Now let determine the Recovery period using this formula

Recovery period=Cost of dead-bolts / Annual discount for dead-bolts

Let plug in the formula

Recovery period= (2 × $50)/ $22.50

Recovery period=$100/$22.50

Recovery period= 4.44years

Therefore Assuming their insurance rates remain the same, how many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the dead-bolts will be 4.44years

b. Calculation to determine How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the smoke detectors

First step is to calculate the Annual discount for smoke alarms using this formula

Annual discount for smoke alarms=Discount percent × Annual premium

Let plug in the formula

Annual discount for smoke alarms=0.02 × $450

Annual discount for smoke alarms=$9.00

Now let determine the Recovery period using this formula

Recovery period=Cost of smoke alarms / Annual discount for smoke alarms

Let plug in the formula

Recovery period=(2 × $7) / $9.00

Recovery period=$14/$9.00

Recovery period= 1.5 years

Therefore How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the smoke detectors will be 1.5years

C. YES, Based on the information I WOULD recommend Dave and Ellen to invest in the SAFETY ITEMS, if they plan to stay in that house for about 5 years reason been that a home that is equipped with HOME SAFETY ITEMS can help to prevent UNFORESEEABLE ACCIDENTS that may occur, which is why SAFETY ITEMS is vital for every home regardless of the recovery period.

If f(x)=3x^(2)+1 and G(x)=2x-3 what would f(f(x))

Answers

Answer:

f(f(x)) = 27[tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 18x² + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(f(x)) substitute x = f(x) into f(x) , that is

f(3x² + 1)

= 3(3x² + 1)² + 1 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

= 3(9[tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 6x² + 1) + 1 ← distribute parenthesis by 3

What number is increased by 40% become 28?
a.5 b. 10 c. 15 d. 20​

Answers

Answer:

d. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

28 ÷ (100%+40%)

= 28 ÷ 140%

= 28 ÷ 1.4 = 20

Answer:

option d

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

40% of x = 0.40x

Increased by 40% = 28

That is ,

           x + 0.40x = 28

               1.40x = 28

                   [tex]x = \frac{28}{1.40}\\[/tex]

                  [tex]x = \frac{28 \times 100}{1.40 \times 100 } = \frac{28 \times 100}{140} =\frac{4 \times 100}{20} = 4 \times 5 = 20[/tex]

Therefore, the number is 20

nth term of an AP is given by an expression 7n-2,find the common difference of this sequence if fisrt term of sequence is 1? a.2 b.-2 c-7 d7​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

there is something wrong with what your write here as problem description.

either there is something missing in the main expression, or in the answer options.

given your nth-term expression 7n-2, none of the 4 answer options can fit.

so, I thought, maybe there was a typo.

the possible interpretations of the expression could be

7n - 2

7(n-2)

[tex] {7}^{n} - 2[/tex]

[tex] {7}^{n - 2} [/tex]

we know that

a1 = 1

a2 = either

a1 + 2 = 3

a1 - 2 = -1

a1 + 7 = 8

a1 - 7 = -6

so, we can eliminate both negative answer options, because they would cause only negative sequence elements, but the main expression (neither of the 4 possibilities) does not allow that.

but also none of the 4 possibilities of the expression delivers any of the 4 values for a2 as described above.

7×2 - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12

7(2-2) = 7×0 = 0

7² - 2 = 49 - 2 = 47

[tex] {7}^{2 - 2} = {7}^{0} = 1[/tex]

similar not for a3.

so, if I consider your answer options right, we have 4 possible arithmetic sequences:

1. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, ...

2. 1, -1, -3, -5, -7, -9, -11, -13, ...

3. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, ...

4. 1, -6, -13, -20, -27, -34, -41, ...

the nth term expression is for

a. an = 2n - 1

b. an = 2×(-n) + 3 = 2×(-n + 1) + 1

c. an = 7n - 6

d. an = 7×(-n) + 8 = 7×(-n + 1) + 1

so, please pick the right expression from this list, and then use the answer option with the same letter.

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  114.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles can be found using the Law of Cosines. It tells you ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

Then angle C can be found to be ...

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab)) = arccos((20² +25² -38²)/(2·20·25))

  C = arccos(-419/1000) ≈ 114.77°

The measure of the obtuse angle is about 114.8°.

Find the intersection point between the lines of equations:

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equation will intersect each other at the point which will be the solution of the given two equations , and the given equations are ,

[tex]\implies 2x -y +6=0\\\\\implies 2x + 3y -6=0[/tex]

On subtracting the given equations we have,

[tex]\implies -y - 3y +6 -(-6) = 0 \\\\\implies -4y = -12 \\\\\implies y = -12/-4\\\\\implies y = 3 [/tex]

Put this value in any equation , we have ,

[tex]\implies 2x -3 +6 =0\\\\\implies 2x = -3 \\\\\implies x =\dfrac{-3}{2} \\\\\implies x =-1.5 [/tex]

Hence the lines will Intersect at ,

[tex]\implies\underline{\underline{ Point=(-1.5, 3)}}[/tex]

for the first one x = 1/2 y-3" and y = 2 x + 6 and for the other one is x =  − 3 /2  y+ 3  and y= − 2 /3  x + 2

how i did this Step 1: Add -3y to both sides.

Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

Calculate the average rate of change of a function over a specified interval. Which expression can be used to determine the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval 2, 9?

Answers

Given:

The interval is [2,9].

To find:

The average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [2,9].

Solution:

The average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [a,b] is defined as:

[tex]m=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

In the interval [2,9], the value of a is 2 and the value of b is 9.

Using the above formula, the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [2,9] is:

[tex]m=\dfrac{f(9)-f(2)}{9-2}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{f(9)-f(2)}{7}[/tex]

Therefore, the required expression for the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [2,9] is [tex]\dfrac{f(9)-f(2)}{9-2}[/tex], it is also written is [tex]\dfrac{f(9)-f(2)}{7}[/tex].

the regular price of base ball cleats is 80 dollars if the cleats are on sale for 45% off, then what is the value of the discount in dollars?

Answers

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cleats were on sale for 45% off, that means they were 55% "on." Therefore, you have to multiply 80 by 0.55* to get how much they cost.

80 x 0.55 is 44.

To get the value of the discount, you subtract 44 from 80, which is 36.

The cleats sold for $44, and there was a $36 discount.

*you multiply by 0.55 because it is 55 percent. Percent means "per every hundred." That's why you have to divide 55 by 100 to get 0.55.

An alternate way to solve this is to multiply 80 by 55 and then divide the result by 100, but you'll still get 44.

A) 3
B) 5
C) 7
D) 8

Answers

Answer:

B) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x)=x(x+3)[/tex]

We are given that f(a) = 40 and a > 0 and we want to determine the value of a.

Substitute:

[tex]f(a)=40=a(a+3)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]a^2+3a=40[/tex]

Subtract 40 from both sides:

[tex]a^2+3a-40=0[/tex]

We can factor using 8 and -5. Hence:

[tex](a+8)(a-5)=0[/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]a+8=0\text{ or } a-5=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]\displaystyle a=-8\text{ or } a=5[/tex]

Since a > 0, we can eliminate the first solution. Hence:
