Fourteen is 28% of B) 50

Why, you ask? Let's see -

Let the unknown number be n, for 'number'.

Let's put the unknown n next to 28%

.28n% = 14

(Think, what times .28 equals 14? Look below to find out! ↓ )

Let's now do the opposite of the actual equation - divide the two known numbers by each other -

.28 ÷ 14 = 50

When in doubt, check your answer:

To check this, we would do the opposite - Multiplication

Multiply .28 by 50 to get 14 (At least you should get 14)

.28 × 50 DOES EQUAL 14! We were right! :D

A rectangle has dimensions 3x-1 and x+6. Write an expression for the area of the rectangle as a polynomial in standard form

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

the area product is simply (3x+5).(x+7 which can multiply if desired to obtain highlight3x/2+ 26x + 35.

You can use Completion of the Square on the trinomial product to put this trinomial into standard form. You would want this form to be like (x-h)2 +k.

A business was valued at £80000 at the start of 2013. In 5 years the value of this business raised to £95000. this is equivalent

Yuri [45]

the yearly increase of x% assumes is compounding yearly, so let's use that.

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill &\£95000\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\£80000\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{yearly, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases}$

$95000=80000\left(1+\frac{~~ \frac{r}{100}~~}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 5}\implies \cfrac{95000}{80000}=\left( 1+\cfrac{r}{100} \right)^5 \\\\\\ \cfrac{19}{16}=\left( 1+\cfrac{r}{100} \right)^5\implies \sqrt[5]{\cfrac{19}{16}}=1+\cfrac{r}{100}\implies \sqrt[5]{\cfrac{19}{16}}=\cfrac{100+r}{100} \\\\\\ 100\sqrt[5]{\cfrac{19}{16}}=100+r\implies 100\sqrt[5]{\cfrac{19}{16}}-100=r\implies 3.5\approx r$
