If total advertising expenditures on television advertising declined 4.1% to $141.7 billion in the current year, how much was spent on television advertising in the previous year? Round your answer to one decimal.

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that $147.8 billion was spent on television advertising in the previous year.

$x, in billions, was spent on advertising expenditures on television last year.This year, the amount declined 4.1%, hence it is 100% - 4.1% = 95.9% of last year's amount, that is, 0.959x.

This year spending's is of 141.7 billion, hence, the equation is:

[tex]0.959x = 141.7[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{141.7}{0.959}[/tex]

[tex]x = 147.8[/tex]

$147.8 billion was spent on television advertising in the previous year.

Line 1:(-1,3), (-1,5)
Line 2: (0, 0), (0, 6)

Answers

Answer:

Line 1 passes through (5, -9) and (0, -5)

We are going to use slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

First we are going to find the slope of the line.

m= -5- (-9)

-------

0-5

m=4/-5

Now substitute in the point to find the y-intercept:

Either point can be used. I am using point (0,-5)

y=-4/5x+b

-5=-4/5(0)+b

-5=b

So, the linear equation is y=-4/5x-5

Line 2 passes through (-3, 8) and (1, 3)

m=3-8

-----

1-(-3)

m=-5/4

Use slope intercept form and substitute in either point

I am using point (1,3)

y=-5/4x+b

3=-5/4(1)+b

3=-5/4+b

3+5/4=b

17/4=b

Therefore, the equation of Line 2 is y= -5/4x+17/4

Line 1: y=-4/5x-5 Line 2: y=-5/4x+17/4

A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marina traced the map onto a coordinate plane to find the exact location of the treasure.

If necessary, round the coordinates to the nearest tenth. (11. 4, 14. 2) (7. 6, 8. 8) (5. 7, 7. 5) (10. 2, 12. 6).

Answers

The location of the treasure on the treasure map is (b) (7.6,8.8)

The ratio is given as:

[tex]m : n = 5 : 9[/tex]

The coordinates of the rock and the tree are:

[tex]Rock =(3,2)[/tex]

[tex]Tree = (16,21)[/tex]

The x and y coordinates of the location of the treasure are:

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{5 \times 16 + 9 \times 3}{5 + 9},\frac{5 \times 21 + 9 \times 2}{5 + 9})[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (\frac{107}{14},\frac{123}{14})[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (7.6,8.8)[/tex]

Hence, the location of the treasure is (b) (7.6,8.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Is the answer 8? If so, what is the unit?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

that depends on the expected unit rate.

there are infinite correct answers to this as it is stated. including the initial numbers.

2 miles in 0.25 hours is by itself already a unit rate :

2 m/0.25h

but if we want it to be the classical miles per hour rate for speed, then we need to calculate how many miles she would have run with the same speed in 1 hour.

when we change the denominator of a fraction or ratio by multiplication, but want to keep the overall value of the fraction unchanged, then we need to apply the same factor also to the numerator.

what is the factor for 0.25 hours to create 1 hour ?

you know that 0.25 = 1/4.

0.25 × f = 1

f = 1/0.25 = 1 / 1/4 = 4

we need to multiply by 4 to get 1 hour as denominator.

therefore, by keeping the ratio value unchanged, the whole operation is then

2 m/0.25h × 4/4 = 8 m/1 hour = 8 m/h

the answer is therefore only 8, if we required mph or m/h as unit rate.

we could just as easily request "miles / 10 hours", and we would get 80 as answer. or 0.13 as per 0.13 miles/minute. and so on. infinite possibilities.

you see ? the question in that form is actually not complete.

y=-6/5x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you know the slope of the line, you can put it into the slope-intercept form equation:

y=-6/5(x) +b

Then plug in the x and y values which are -5 and -2:

-2=-6/5(-5) +b

Now you can solve for b:

-2=6 +b

-8=b

Now that you know b and already have the slope, plug those into the equation:

A rectangular field is fully enclosed with 218 meters of fencing. The length of the field is

17 meters longer than the width, w.

Answers

The length and width of a rectangular field fully enclosed with 218 metes fencing  are 63 meters and 46 meters respectively.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the whole four sides. Therefore, the perimeter of a rectangle is defined as follows:

perimeter = 2(l + w)

where

l = length

w = width

perimeter = 218 meters

The length of the field is  17 meters longer than the width, w. Therefore, the length is defined as follows:

l = 17 + w

The length and the width can be calculated as follows:

218 = 2(l + w)

218 = 2(17 + w + w)

218 = 34 + 4w

218 - 34 = 4w

184 = 4w

divide both sides by 4

w = 184 / 4

w = 46 meters

length = 17 + 46

length = 63 meters

If the 3rd term in an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the sum of the 1st 6 terms is 72. The fifth term is.

Answers

Answer:

5th term = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a1    +    a1+d      a1 + 2*d      a1+3d      a1 + 4*d     a1 + 5d

a1 + 2d = 10

6*a1 + 15d = 72

Multiply the first equation by 6

6a1 + 12d = 60

Write the above equation underneath the second equation

6a1  + 15d = 72

6a1 + 12d = 60                Subtract

3*d = 12                            Divide by 3

d = 12/3

d = 4

a1 + 2d = 10

a1 + 2*4 = 10

a1 + 8 = 10                        Subtract 8 from both sides

a1 - 8 = 10- 8

a1 = 2

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution x=5y+2 and x-4y=5

Answers

Answer:

(17,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1.

x=5y+2

Equation 2.

x-4y=5

To solve with substitution, it looks like the x-variable in the first equation is already isolated. So, plug the first equation into the x-variable in the second equation.

x-4y=5

(5y+2)-4y=5

y+2=5

y=3

Now that we found y, plug y into one of the equations to solve for x.

x=5y+2

x=5(3)+2

x=15+2

x=17
