A.
To solve, you need to get the variable by itself.
Order of operations:
Square root both sides.
(x-5)= plus/minus root 3, as 3 is not a perfect square.
Now you need to add 5 to both sides to get it to disappear on the side with the x.
x=root3 +or - 5, which can be rearranged so that 5 is the first term.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the original coordinate as C (-6, 9) and new coordinates after dilation as C' (-2, 3), we can see that the value of the new coordinates has reduces by a factor. Let the factor be k
For the x coordinates:
C' = kC
x' = kx
-2 = k(-6)
-2 = -6k
Divide both sides by -6
k = -2/-6
k = 1/3
For the y-coordinates:
y' = ky
3 = 9k
Divide both sides by 9:
3/9 = 9k/9
1/3 = k
k = 1/3
Hence the scale factor of the dilation is 1/3
Price elasticity is defined as

.
Here, the question has omitted to define variables, so we will ASSUME
p=price
x=variable,
and we're given
p+x^2-160=0
We calculate

by implicit differentiation with respect to p:
1+2x (dx/dp)=0
=>
E(x)=(dx/dp)=-1/(2x)
Therefore the price elasticity at x=65 is
E(65)=1/(2*65) =-1/130 (approximately -0.00769)
