Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The consumption of a vegetable has decreased. While the consumption per capita in 2000 was 25.2 ​pounds, in​ 2010, the consumption dropped to 15.2 pounds.

Consumption in 2000= 25.2 pounds

Consumption in 2010= 15.2 pounds

Difference in consumption=

25.2 - 15.2 = 10.0

Percentage decrease will be difference in consumption divided by original consumption in 2000 multiplied by 100. This will be:

= 10.0/25.2 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

The radius of the circle whose equation is (x-3)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 16 is
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a circle with center (a, b) and radius r is given by the equation;

(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r^{2}

The constant in the right hand side of the equation is simply the square of the radius;

We have been given the following equation;

(x-3)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 16

Comparing this with the general equation above;

r^{2}=16\\\\r=\sqrt{16}=4

We need the cross product of the two vectors.

=<-4+6, -(4+9), 4+6>
=<2,-13,10>
The second vector is obtained by reversing the direction, namely <-2,13,-10>
Thus the two vectors are <2,-13,10> and <-2,13,-10>.
