The price of a gallon of unleaded gas was $2.80 yesterday. Today, the price rose to $2.87 . Find the percentage increase. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Earlier price is 2.80
Current price is 2.87

Increment is 
2.87 - 2.80
0.07

Increment percentage is
(0.07 / 2.80) * 100
2.5 %

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! I NEED CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!Find the tangent of ∠Y.

Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

tan(Y) =

Answers

Answer:

tan∠Y = 2,14

Step-by-step explanation:

First , we need to determine XY

in order to do that we use the Pythagorean theorem :

XY = √(85^2-77^2) = 36

tan∠Y = 77/36 = 77÷36 = 2,138888888889

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle WXY is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle

WY represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With ∠Y as the reference angle,

XY represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

WX represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine XY, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

85² = 77² + XY²

XY² = 85² - 77² = 7225 - 5929

XY = √1296 = 36

To determine tan Y, we would apply trigonometric ratio

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan Y = 77/36

Tan Y = 2.14

11. Quadrilateral GHJK is similar toquadrilateral RSTU. If GH = JK = 10,
HJ = KG = 14, and RS = TU = 16, what is
the scale factor of quadrilateral GHJK to
quadrilateral RSTU?

Answers

Answer: the scale factor is 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows Quadrilateral GHJK and Quadrilateral RSTU. Since they are similar quadrilaterals,

KG/UR = JG/TS = GH/RS = KJ/UT

10/16 = 14/TS

10TS = 16×14 = 224

TS = UR = 224/10 = 22.4

The scale factor is

16/10 = 22.4/12 = 1.6

Let f(x) = 3x +5 and g(x) = -4x +7. Find (fog)(-4)

Answers

(fog)(x)=f(g(x))

f(g(x))=3(-4x+7)+5
f(g(-4))=3(-4(4)+7)+5=3(-16+7)+5=3(-9)+5=-27+5=-22


(fog)(-4)=-22

Can anyone help know if this is right if not what is the right answer?

Answers

We will use the Sine Ratio to solve for A:

Sin(A) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Sin(A) = 12 / 15
Sin(A) = 0.8  (Take the Inverted Sin of this number) 
∠A = 53.13°

Therefore, ∠A = 53.13°

Which two numbers add up to 6 and muliply to -126

Answers

xy=-126
x+y=6
minus x

y=6-x
sub
x(6-x)=-126
6x-x^2=-126
minus (6x-x^2) both sides
0=x^2-6x-126

in form
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{ -b+/-\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac} }{2a}

a=1
b=-6
c=-126

x=\frac{ -(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^(2)-4(1)(-126)} }{2(1)}
x=( 6+/-√(36+504) )/(2)
x=( 6+/-√(540) )/(2)
x=( 6+/-6√(150) )/(2)
x=3+/-3√(150)


the numbers are
3+3√(150) and 3-3√(150)
