Answer: x = 9

Step-by-Step Solution:

Hypotenuse = 15 units

Base = 12 units

Altitude = x units

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2

(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2

225 = 144 + x^2

225 - 144 = x^2

81 = x^2

x^2 = 81

x = √81

=> x = 9

Therefore, Altitude = 9 units

You usually buy a 16.5-ounce bottle of shampoo. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 30% more free.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30$

Hopefully, this is your desired setup. (I noticed the formula you have to fill in there.)

Have a good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

You could use the percent change formula.

Since we know it is a percent increase then we will do new-old instead of old-new:

$\frac{\text{new}-\text{old}}{\old}$

x is the new amount of shampoo.

16.5 is the original amount (old) of shampoo.

The percent increase is 30%=0.30 .

So we have the following equation:

$\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30$

We could have found the equation like this:

$16.5+16.5(0.30)=x$

Subtract 16.5 on both sides:

$16.5(0.30)=x-16.5$

Divide both sides by 16.5:

$0.30=\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}$

By us of symmetric property of equality:

$\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30$

Which of the following functions is graphed below

Ratling [72]

The function that is graphed is y = |x -2| + 3. The correct option is D. y = |x -2| + 3

<h3>Absolute value graph</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the function for the given graph

From the graph,

When x = 2, y = 3

The equation that satisfy this condition is

y = |x -2| + 3

NOTE: This function satisfies all the points on the graph

Hence, the function that is graphed is y = |x -2| + 3
