Answer:
no
You said skip the explanation, so ok
P-125 is the answer i believe you are looking for. Since p is the original amount of the mountain bike, and the question says the price was reduced by $125, this means that $125 was subtracted from p, the original price. Therefore, p-125.
The absolute value is always positive, so the numbers would be 4 and 4.
Those are two equal numbers so it is: equal to
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Here, the first term is .48 and the common ratio is 1/100 (since each new 48 is 1/100 th of the previous 48). a
Use the formula s = sum of geometric series = -----------
1 - r
0.48 48
which in this case is s = --------------- = ------------ = 48/99 = 16/33
1 - 1/100 100 - 1
Check this result by finding 16/33 on a calculator. Is the result equal to 0.484848484848.... ? Yes
b) Here we have the bar over the 8 only. 0.48 with the bar over the 8 is equivalent to 0.4888888888 ...
0.08
or 0.4 + 0.0888888888 ... or 0.4 + ------------
1 - 1/10
0.08 8
and this simplifies to 0.4 + ------------ = 0.4 + ---------
9/10 90
Evaluating this last result on a calculator results in 0.488888888 ...
c) 0.48 expressed as a fraction is 48/100 = 12/25
Answer:
x^2 -8x -5 = -3
x^2 -8x -2 = 0
We complete the square by:
1) Moving the "non X" term to the right:
x^2 -8x = 2
2) Dividing the equation by the coefficient of X²
The coefficient of x is 1 so we don't do anything
3) Now here's the "completing the square" stage in which we:
• take the coefficient of X
that is -8
• divide it by 2
-8 ÷ 2 = -4
• square that number
-4*-4 = 16
• then add it to both sides of the equation.
x^2 -8x +16 = 2 +16
That becomes
(x -4)^2 = 18
we take the square root of both sides:
(x -4) = sqr root (18)
x1 = sqr root (18) +4
AND
(x+4) = sqr root (18) -4
x1 = sqr root (18) +4 = 4.2426406871 + 4 = 8.2426406871
x2 = sqr root (18) -4 = = 4.2426406871 - 4 = .2426406871
