How do you find the percent of increase from 12 to 18?

1 answer:

4 0

Let's get the data out of the problem:

Nv = 18

Ov = 12

Now, we can apply in this equation that relates the new and the old values:

i = Nv / Ov

i = 18 / 12

i = 1.5

Now, we just consider what has passed from 1, and this is 0.5, converting to percentage it is:

p = 0.5 . 100

p = 50%

The increase was 50%.

Hope it helps.

Convert the function into intercept form. Show your work. y=-x^2+5x+36

UkoKoshka [18]

Y = -x2 + 5x + 36 → y = -(x2 -5x -36)

→ y = -(x2 - 9x +4x - 36)

→ y = -[x(x-9) + 4(x - 9)]

→ y = -(x - 9)(x + 4)

Your answer would be y=-(x-9)(x+4).

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$~~~~~x = \dfrac{1}{2 - \dfrac 1{2-\dfrac{1}{2-x}}}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{1}{2 - \dfrac 1{\dfrac{4-2x-1}{2-x}}}\\\\\\\implies x= \dfrac{1}{2 - \dfrac{2-x}{3-2x}}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{6-4x-2+x}{3-2x}}\\\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{3-2x}{4-3x}\\\\\\\implies 4x -3x^2 = 3-2x\\\\\\\implies 3x^2 -4x +3-2x = 0\\\\\\\implies 3x^2 -6x +3 = 0\\\\\\\implies 3(x^2 -2x +1) =0\\\\\\\implies x^2 -2x +1 = 0\\\\\\\implies (x-1)^2 = 0\\\\\\\implies x -1 = 0\\\\\\\implies x = 1$
