Answer:

(a) $1.98

(b) $6.30

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The new value =

1.80 + The value of the percentage increase =

1.80 + (10% × 1.80) =

1.80 + 10% × 1.80 =

(1 + 10%) × 1.80 =

(100% + 10%) × 1.80 =

110% × 1.80 =

110 ÷ 100 × 1.80 =

110 × 1.80 ÷ 100 =

198 ÷ 100 =

1.98

Calculate the actual change (the absolute difference) between the two values

The actual change =

The new value - 1.80 =

1.98 - 1.80 =

0.18

Proof of calculation.

Calculate the percentage increased value...

... and see if we get as a result...

... the actual change (the absolute difference).

Calculate the percentage increased value:

The value of the percentage increase =

10% × 1.80 =

10 ÷ 100 × 1.80 =

10 × 1.80 ÷ 100 =

18 ÷ 100 =

0.18

So we have proven that the calculations are correct.

For positive numbers

The actual change =

The value of the percentage increase

The answer:

1.80 increased by 10% = 1.98

The actual change:

1.98 - 1.80 = 0.18

(b)

Calculate the New value
The new value =

42.0 + The value of the percentage increase =

4.20 + (50% × 4.20) =

4.20 + 50% × 4.20 =

(1 + 50%) × 4.20 =

(100% + 50%) × 4.20 =

150% × 4.20 =

150 ÷ 100 × 4.20 =

150 × 4.20 ÷ 100 =

63,000 ÷ 100 =

630

(but its as a dollar so its 6.30)

Calculate the actual change (the absolute difference) between the two values

The actual change =

The new value - 4.20 =

6.30 - 4.20 =

2.10

Proof of calculation.

Calculate the percentage increased value...

... and see if we get as a result...

... the actual change (the absolute difference).

Calculate the percentage increased value:

The value of the percentage increase =

50% × 4.20 =

50 ÷ 100 × 4.20 =

50 × 4.20 ÷ 100 =

21,000 ÷ 100 =

210

(but its as a dollar so its 2.10)

So we have proven that the calculations are correct.

For positive numbers

The actual change =

The value of the percentage increase

The answer:

4.20 increased by 50% = 6.30

The actual change:

6.30 - 4.20 = 2.10

If 2x+y=8 and x-1=y then what is y? Please be detailed I want to know more then just the answer but how to solve
IgorLugansk [536]
This is Bridge Algebra 2 stuff. Well you see that 2x+y=8 and x-1=y. To slove for y you have to slove for x first to find y. So 2x+x-1=8 ( the reason I did that is because there is a y in that equation and I placed it on that equation) now lets slove this equation for x. So 3x-1=8( I add 2x with x) 3x=9 ( I made -1 a positive one and add it to 8) x=3 ( I divided 9/3 to get 3). Now that you have slove x we will use x to slove for y. So 3-1=y, 2=y. Your answer is y=2.

Each of these statements are part of True/False game. Which statement is correct?
sergey [27]

Answer:

E. (The function is exponetial)

Step-by-step explanation:

We look at the output values and subtract them from their previous value to see it's slope.

6-2 = 4

12-6 = 6

4 ≠ 6, meaning that the slope is not constant.

4 < 6, meaning that the slope is increasing, meaning the function is exponential.

a. For what values of x does f (x )equals 3 x plus 3 sine x have a horizontal tangent​ line? b. For what values of x does f (x )
laila [671]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the value of x=\pi

(b) Therefore the value of x =\frac{\pi}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal tangent line: The first order derivative of a function gives the slope of the tangent of the function. The slope of horizontal line is zero.If the slope of tangent line is zero then the tangent line is called horizontal tangent line.

(a)

Given function is,

f(x)= 3x+3sin x

Differential with respect to x

f'(x)=3+3cos x

For horizontal tangent line, f'(x)=0

3+ 3 cos x= 0

⇒3 cos x=-3

⇒cos x=-1

⇒x = 180° =\pi

Therefore the value of x=\pi

(b)

Given that, the slope is 3.

Then,f'(x)=3

3+ 3 cos x= 3

⇒3 cos x= 3-3

⇒cos x=0

⇒x = 90° =\frac{\pi}{2}

Therefore the value of x =\frac{\pi}{2}
