Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Textbook Question

Chapter 8.III, Problem 23RE

Solve the following word problems. Round dollars to the nearest cent and percents to the nearest tenth of a percent.

You have decided to purchase a set of four Good-Ride tires for your vehicle at the Tire Emporium.

a. If the original price of these tires is $160.00 each, what are the amount of the markdown with rebate per tire and the markdown percent if you get the rebate and pay cash?

b. What are the amount of the markdown per tire and the markdown percent if you decide to put the purchase on your Good-Ride credit card and get the double rebate?

c. When you purchased the set of four tires, you were offered an “Extra 5 %

" discount on the entire purchase if you also included wheel balancing at $5.75 per tire and a front-end alignment for $65.00. The sales tax in your state is 7.5 % . What was the total amount of your purchase if you used your Good-Ride credit card? Use the unrounded markdown percent you found in part b in your calculations.

d. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the credit card?

Students have asked these similar questions

1. Let z = x+iy with x, y Є R. Let f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) where u(x, y), v(x, y): R² → R. (a) Suppose that f is complex differentiable. State the Cauchy-Riemann equations satisfied by the functions u(x, y) and v(x,y). (b) State what it means for the function (2 mark) u(x, y): R² → R to be a harmonic function. (3 marks) (c) Show that the function u(x, y) = 3x²y - y³ +2 is harmonic. (d) Find a harmonic conjugate of u(x, y). (6 marks) (9 marks)

Please could you provide a step by step solutions to this question and explain every step.

Could you please help me with question 2bii. If possible could you explain how you found the bounds of the integral by using a graph of the region of integration. Thanks
