Answer:

6.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage decrease= decrease/actually amount×100

2.35-2.20/2.35×100

0.15/2.35×100

0.06383×100=6.4%

Percentage decrease=6.4%

What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 12?
djverab [1.8K]
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.

let the two numbers be x and y.

Multiply to 44.      x*y = 44 ..........(a)

Add up to 12.      x + y = 12 .........(b)

From (b)

y = 12 - x .......(c)

Substitute (c) into (a)

x*y = 44

x*(12 - x) = 44   

12x - x² = 44

-x² + 12x = 44

-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.       

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0

x² - 12x + 44 = 0.   

This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula

comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0,  a = 1, b = -12, c = 44 

x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a   or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a


x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)    

x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2

√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2

Where i is a complex number.  Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2      or     (12 - √-32 )/ 2   

x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2              (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2 

x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2                12/2 - (4i√2)/2

x = 6 + 2i√2            or         6 - 2i√2

Recall equation (c):

y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2

When x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2


x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 6 - 2i√2

x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 6 + 2i√2

Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:

6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2

Select the expression that represents the simplified difference.
Setler79 [48]

The simplified expression for the given function is 2x + 4 - ( 1 / x-1). The correct option is A.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that the functions are f(x) = x + 2 and h(x) = 1 / x-1. The value of the function 2f(x) – h(x) will be calculated as,

E = 2f(x) – h(x)

E =  2( x + 2 ) - ( 1 / x-1)

E = 2x + 4 - (1/x-1)

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (2,5) and a slope of m =10 in point slope form
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

y=10x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

with the points given you know x=2 and y=5

make a new point called (x,y)

now use the formula (y-5)/(x-2)=10 (10 being the gradient)

y-5 = 10(x-2)

y-5=10x-20

add 5 to both sides

y-5+5=10x-20+5

y=10x-15
