So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5? 
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

The measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 92. Find the measure of a base angle
Andrej [43]

Answer:

44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

In an isosceles triangle the base angles are equal, thus

base angle = \frac{180-92}{2} = \frac{88}{2} = 44°

Consider the line y=4x-4.
erica [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • parallel: y = 4x -6
  • perpendicular: y = -1/4x +27/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want the new line to be written in slope-intercept form, we need to find the new value of the y-intercept. The equation of the line is ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

Solving for b gives ...

  b = y -mx . . . . . . . subtract mx from both sides.

The values of x and y come from the point we want the line to pass through. The value of m will be the same for the parallel line as for the given line: 4. For the perpendicular line, it will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/4.

<u>Parallel line</u>

  b = 6 -4(3) = 6 -12 = -6

  y = 4x -6

Perpendicular line

  b = 6 -(-1/4)(3) = 6 +3/4 = 27/4

  y = -1/4x +27/4

vfiekz [6]

we are given

In a particularly sunny month, Solaire's solar panels generated 110 percent as much power as expected.

so, we need to change percent into fraction to get our value

we can write

110%=\frac{110}{100}

now, we can simplify it

and we get

110%=\frac{11}{10}

so,

Solaire's solar panels generate \frac{11}{10} of the expected amount of power.............Answer

What is the domain of the function y=√4x+8<br> Can you show your work too, please? (:
kirill115 [55]
y=  \sqrt{4(x+2)}
y = 2 \sqrt{x+2}

The domain would be -2, the x-intercept.
