Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase is calculated as

\frac{increase}{original} × 100%

increase = $3.87 - $3.54 = $0.33 , then

% increase = \frac{0.33}{3.54} × 100% ≈ 9% ( to the nearest whole percent )

Answer:

9 %  (rounded to the nearest whole percent)

Step-by-step explanation:

the amount of increase:

3.87 - 3.54 = 0.33

Then

the percent increase for the cost of gas :

=\frac{0.33}{3.54} \times 100\\\\= 0.093220338983 \times 100\\\\=9.3220338983 \ \%

Solve x2 + 1/2x +1/16=4/9
kolezko [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 0.417 or x = -0.917

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression and we are to solve it for the variable x:

x ^2 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + \frac { 1 } { 1 6 } = \frac { 4 } { 9 }

We will find the least common multiple of 2. 6 and 9:

x^2 \times 144 +\frac{1}{2}x \times 144 +\frac{1}{16} \times 144 = \frac{4}{9} \times 144

Simplifying it to get:

144x^2+72x+9=64

144x^2+72x+9-64=0

144x^2+72x-55=0

Using the quadratic formula to solve for x:

x=\frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{-72 \pm\sqrt{72^2-4(144)(-55)} }{2a}

x=\frac{5}{12} or 0.417

x=-\frac{11}{12} or -0.917

Dominik [7]

Answer:

  1. This is a biased sampling method for obtaining customer opinions because those who take the time to write an online review are likely to do so because they are upset with the service they received.
  2. The direction of the bias is likely to overestimate the proportion of customers who have a negative opinion on the service.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)   There are groups which are not represented in the survey like those who don't use web. And also those who take the time to write an online review are likely to do so because they are upset with the service they received.

2)  Those who had negative experience are more likely to write a review than those who had not.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length in the following right triangle.
lesantik [10]
Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!
