The correct answer is Yearly income assessable income: Rs 7,75,974

Taxable income of Amar: Rs 7,66,796

To find Amar's yearly income, we'll consider his monthly salary and additional benefits:

Yearly Income:

Monthly salary = Rs 58,786

Yearly salary = Monthly salary * 12 = Rs 58,786 * 12 = Rs 7,05,432

Additional benefits:

One month salary for festival expense = Rs 58,786

EPF contribution per month (deducted from salary) = 10% of monthly salary = 0.10 * Rs 58,786 = Rs 5,878

Government's EPF contribution = Rs 5,878

Total additional benefits per year = One month salary + EPF contribution + Government's EPF contribution = Rs 58,786 + Rs 5,878 + Rs 5,878 = Rs 70,542

Yearly income assessable income = Yearly salary + Total additional benefits = Rs 7,05,432 + Rs 70,542 = Rs 7,75,974

Taxable Income:

To calculate the taxable income, we deduct certain deductions from the assessable income.

Deductions:

EPF contribution per month (deducted from salary) = Rs 5,878

Life insurance per month = Rs 3,300

Total deductions per year = EPF contribution + Life insurance = Rs 5,878 + Rs 3,300 = Rs 9,178

Taxable income = Assessable income - Total deductions = Rs 7,75,974 - Rs 9,178 = Rs 7,66,796

Income Tax:

To determine the income tax paid, we need to apply the applicable tax rate to the taxable income. Since tax rates can vary based on the country and specific rules, I am unable to provide the exact income tax amount without additional information.

To find an object's maximum height, we need to find the vertex of this quadratic equation.

Answer: 5.50 seconds

Terms to know:

Quadratic function: A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree 2, which means the highest power of the variable in the equation is 2.

Vertex: The vertex of a quadratic function is the point on the graph where the function reaches its highest or lowest point. In the case of a quadratic function in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, the vertex is given by the coordinates (x, f(x)).

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a quadratic equation can be represented as [tex](\frac{-b}{2a}, f(\frac{-b}{2a})[/tex]

Since we only are looking at the time it takes to reach maximum height we will only look at the x value.

[tex]x= \frac{-176}{2(-16)}[/tex]

[tex]x= 5.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When we simplify the expression, we get:

0.0048 * 0.81 / 0.027 * 0.04 = (0.0048 / 0.027) * (0.81 / 0.04)

Using a calculator to evaluate the two fractions separately, we get:

0.0048 / 0.027 ≈ 0.1778

0.81 / 0.04 = 20.25

Substituting these values back into the original expression, we get:

(0.0048 / 0.027) * (0.81 / 0.04) ≈ 0.1778 * 20.25

Multiplying these two values together, we get:

0.1778 * 20.25 ≈ 3.59715

To express the answer in standard form, we need to write it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. We can do this by moving the decimal point three places to the left, since there are three digits to the right of the decimal point:

3.59715 ≈ 3.59715 × 10^(-3)

Therefore, the final answer in standard form is approximately 3.59715 × 10^(-3).

The probability of the union of events A and B, P(A U B), is 0.824.

To find the probability, we can use the formula:

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

Given that P(A) = 0.450, P(B) = 0.680, and P(A U B) = 0.824, we can substitute these values into the formula:

0.824 = 0.450 + 0.680 - P(A ∩ B)

To find the probability of the intersection of events A and B (P(A ∩ B)), we rearrange the equation:

P(A ∩ B) = 0.450 + 0.680 - 0.824

P(A ∩ B) = 1.130 - 0.824

P(A ∩ B) = 0.306

Therefore, the probability of the intersection of events A and B, P(A ∩ B), is 0.306.

We can also calculate the probability of the union of events A and B, P(A U B), by substituting the given values into the formula:

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B) = 0.450 + 0.680 - 0.306

P(A U B) = 0.824

Therefore, the probability of the union of events A and B, P(A U B), is 0.824.

In summary, we have found that the probability of the intersection of events A and B, P(A ∩ B), is 0.306, and the probability of the union of events A and B, P(A U B), is 0.824, based on the given probabilities.

the lowest number that we see on all three lists is 12.

iii.  The ratio XY : Y Z is [tex]|(2b - a) - ((3b + c)/4)|/|((3b + c)/4) - (a + c)/2|[/tex]. Simplifying this expression will give us the final ratio.

i. To find the position vector x of point X, we can use the concept of vector addition. Since AB : BX = 2 : 1, we can express AB as a vector from A to B, which is given by (b - a). To find BX, we can use the fact that BX is twice as long as AB, so BX = 2 * (b - a). Adding this to the vector AB will give us the position vector of X: x = a + 2 * (b - a) = 2b - a.

ii. Similar to the previous part, we can express BC as a vector from B to C, which is given by (c - b). Since BY : YC = 1 : 3, we can find BY by dividing the vector BC into four equal parts and taking one part, so BY = (1/4) * (c - b). Adding this to the vector BY will give us the position vector of Y: y = b + (1/4) * (c - b) = (3b + c)/4.

iii. Z is the midpoint of AC, so we can find Z by taking the average of the vectors a and c: z = (a + c)/2. The ratio XY : YZ can be calculated by finding the lengths of the vectors XY and YZ and taking their ratio. Since XY = |x - y| and YZ = |y - z|, we have XY : YZ = |x - y|/|y - z|. Plugging in the values of x, y, and z we found earlier, we get XY : YZ =[tex]|(2b - a) - ((3b + c)/4)|/|((3b + c)/4) - (a + c)/2|[/tex].

Common ratio of the geometric sequence 9/8, 3/4, 1/2,...,8/81 is 2/3 and the number of all terms in this sequence is 7.

As we know that,

Common ratio of any G.P. is a constant number that is multiplied by the previous term to obtain the next term.

So, r= (n+1)th term / nth term

where r ⇒ common ratio

          (n+1)th term⇒ succeeding term

          nth term⇒ preceding term

According to the given question, r = (9/8) / (3/4)

                                                       r = (2/3)

We also know,

Any term of a G.P. [nth term] can be obtained by the formula:

Tₙ= a[tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where, Tₙ= nth term

            a= first term of G.P.

            r=common ratio

Since last term of the G.P. is given to be 8/81; putting this in the above formula will yield us the total number of terms.

   Tₙ= a[tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

⇒ (8/81) = (9/8) x ([tex]2/3^{n-1}[/tex])

⇒ (64/729)= ([tex]2/3^{n-1}[/tex])

⇒[tex](2/3)^{6}[/tex] = ([tex]2/3^{n-1}[/tex])

⇒ n-1 = 6

The Common Ratio for this geometric sequence is 2/3 and the total number of terms in the sequence is 6.

The given mathematical sequence appears to be a geometric sequence, which is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the Common Ratio. In a geometric sequence, you can find the Common Ratio by dividing any term by the preceding term.  

So in this case, the second term (3/4) divided by the first term (9/8) equals 2/3. Therefore, the Common Ratio for this geometric sequence is 2/3.

To find the total number of terms in this sequence we use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence: a*n = a*r^(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms. This gives us: 8/81 = (9/8)*(2/3)^(n-1). Solving this for n gives us n = 6. Therefore, the total number of terms in this sequence is 6.

Answer: O (4, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations using elimination, we can multiply the second equation by -3 to eliminate the y term:

Original equations:

5x + 3y = 8 (Equation 1)

4x + y = 12 (Equation 2)

Multiply Equation 2 by -3:

-3(4x + y) = -3(12)

-12x - 3y = -36 (Equation 3)

Now we can add Equation 1 and Equation 3 to eliminate the y term:

(5x + 3y) + (-12x - 3y) = 8 + (-36)

Simplifying:

5x - 12x + 3y - 3y = 8 - 36

-7x = -28

Divide both sides by -7:

x = -28 / -7

x = 4

Now substitute the value of x back into either of the original equations, let's use Equation 2:

4(4) + y = 12

16 + y = 12

y = 12 - 16

y = -4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 4 and y = -4.

The equation of the ellipse with foci (7, 17) and (7, -13), and a major axis of length 34 is[tex](x^2/289) + (y^2/225) = 1.[/tex]

To determine the equation of an ellipse given its foci and the length of its major axis, we need to use the standard form equation for an ellipse. The standard form equation for an ellipse centered at the origin is:

[tex](x^2/a^2) + (y^2/b^2) = 1[/tex]

where 'a' represents the semi-major axis and 'b' represents the semi-minor axis.

In this case, we know that the distance between the foci is equal to 2a, which means a = 34/2 = 17. The foci of the ellipse are given as (7, 17) and (7, -13). The foci lie on the major axis of the ellipse, and since their y-coordinates differ by 30 (17 - (-13) = 30), the length of the major axis is equal to 2b, which means b = 30/2 = 15.

Now we have the values of a and b, so we can substitute them into the standard form equation:

[tex](x^2/17^2) + (y^2/15^2) = 1[/tex]

Simplifying further, we have:

[tex](x^2/289) + (y^2/225) = 1[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse with foci (7, 17) and (7, -13), and a major axis of length 34 is:

[tex](x^2/289) + (y^2/225) = 1.[/tex]

Answer:

when substituting x = -0.5, 0, and 1 into the equation, we get the results -8, -7, and -5, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

To solve the equation 5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7, follow these steps:

Combine like terms on each side of the equation:

-7 + 5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7

-14 + x = 2x - 7

Simplify the equation by moving all terms containing x to one side:

x - 2x = -7 + 14

-x = 7

To isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by -1:

(-1)(-x) = (-1)(7)

x = -7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -7.

Part B:

Now let's substitute the given values of x and evaluate the equation:

For x = -0.5:

5 + (-0.5) - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7

4.5 = -1 - 7

4.5 = -8

For x = 0:

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7

-7 = -7

For x = 1:

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7

-6 = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

To recover your investment in 5 years or less, you would need to earn enough to cover the cost of going to school ($30,000) as well as make up for the lost salary over the 2 years of schooling ($45,000/year * 2 years = $90,000).

Therefore, the minimum salary you would need to earn upon earning your degree is the sum of the cost of going to school and the lost salary:

Minimum salary = $30,000 + $90,000 = $120,000.

In order to recover your investment in 5 years or less, you would need to earn a minimum salary of $120,000 per year.

To recuperate the total cost of $120,000 ($30,000 tuition + $90,000 forgone salary) over 5 years, you would need to earn $24,000 more per year on top of your original $45,000 salary. This implies that the minimum salary you need to earn after graduating is $69,000 per annum.

To determine the minimum salary, we first need to calculate your total forfeiture over the 2 years of school, which equates to real costs and opportunity costs. Firstly, the real cost is the tuition of $30,000. Secondly, the opportunity costs are the 2 years of salary you're forgoing, best understood as the wages you would've made if you hadn't gone to school. Assuming the salary of $45,000 per year, the total opportunity cost for the 2 years would be $90,000.

Therefore, the total investment is calculated as the sum costs of tuition and forgone salary i.e. $30,000 (tuition) + $90,000 (forgone salary) = $120,000. So to recover this investment in 5 years, you would need to earn an addition of $120,000 above your original salary. Meaning, you will have to recover $120,000 / 5 years = $24,000 per year on top of your initial salary to recover your total costs in the stated timeframe.

Therefore, the minimum salary you need to earn after earning your degree is equal to your original salary plus recovered investment per year: $45,000 (original salary) + $24,000 (increase) = $69,000. Hence, upon completion of your degree, you will have to earn at least $69,000 per year to recover your total investment within 5 years.

To calculate the confidence interval for the mean number of misspelled words in the student population, we can use the confidence interval formula:

[tex]\boxed{CI=\overline{x}\pm z\left(\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)}[/tex]

where:

Given values:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

[tex]s=\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{12.25}=3.5[/tex]

The empirical rule states that approximately 99.7% of the data points will fall within three standard deviations of the mean.

Therefore, z-value for a 99.7% confidence level is z = 3.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

[tex]CI=9.1\pm 3\left(\dfrac{3.5}{\sqrt{49}}\right)[/tex]

[tex]CI=9.1\pm 3\left(\dfrac{3.5}{7}\right)[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression (5x - 2) / (x - 2) - (4x), we can follow these steps:

First, let's simplify the numerator:

5x - 2

Now, let's distribute the negative sign to the term (4x):

-4x

Next, let's combine the terms in the numerator:

(5x - 2) - 4x = 5x - 2 - 4x = x - 2

Now, let's rewrite the expression:

(x - 2) / (x - 2) - 4x

Since we have (x - 2) as both the numerator and denominator, we can simplify further by canceling out the common factor:

1 - 4x

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression (5x - 2) / (x - 2) - (4x) is 1 - 4x.

The equation after completing the square is (x+2)²=3. Consider the equation: 0=x²+4x+1. To rewrite the equation by completing the square, we need to complete the square by adding and subtracting the square of half of the coefficient of the x.

Let's see how to complete the square: 0 = x² + 4x + 1(1)

We'll take the constant term (1) to the right-hand side of the equation, so it becomes negative. 0 = x² + 4x - 1(2)

To complete the square, we add and subtract the square of half of the coefficient of x. (a) Half of the coefficient of x is 4/2 = 2.

(b) We'll add and subtract 2² = 4. 0 = x² + 4x + 4 - 4 - 1(3)

The first three terms can be expressed as the square of the quantity x+2: (x+2)² = 0 + 4 - 1(4)This simplifies to: (x+2)² = 3

Thus, the equation after completing the square is (x+2)²=3.

Answer:

number is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the number , then 7 more than the number is n + 7 and 9 less than twice the number is 2n - 9

equating the 2 expressions

2n - 9 = n + 7 ( subtract n from both sides )

n - 9 = 7 ( add 9 to both sides )

n = 16

the required number is 16

The answer is:

Work/explanation:

Let's call the number n.

Seven more than n = n + 7

Nine less than twice n = 2n - 9

Put the expressions together :           n + 7 = 2n - 9

Now, we have an equation that we can solve for n.

First, flop the equation

2n - 9 = n + 7

Subtract n from each side

n - 9 = 7

Add 9 to each side

n = 16
