Find the difference between prices: 4.86-4.50=.36
Divide the difference (.36) by the original price: .36/4.50=.08
Change to a percentage: 8%
The sales tax is 8% :)

I need solving 4.8 (x+4)=2.6

victus00 [196]

4.8 (x+4)=2.6
Use distributive property
4.8x + 19.2= 2.6
Subtract 19.2 from both sides
4.8x = -16.6
Divide 4.8 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x = -3.458

Find the derivative of f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x +3

ivolga24 [154]

Explanation

$2x^2-4x+3$

When taking derivatives of polynomials, we primarily make use of the power rule.

Power rule.

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=x^n \\ \text{then} \\ f^{\prime}(x)=nx^{n-1} \end{gathered}$

also, the derivate of a sum is the sum of the derivates

hence

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=f(x)+h(x)+\ldots z(x) \\ g^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(x)+h^{\prime}(x)+\ldots.z^{\prime}(x) \end{gathered}$

Step 1

apply:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=2x^2-4x+3 \\ f^{\prime}(x)=2\cdot2x^{2-1}-4(1)x^{1-1}+ \\ f^{\prime}(x)=4x^{}-4(1)x^0+3^0 \\ f^{\prime}(x)=4x^{}-4(1)(1) \\ f^{\prime}(x)=4z-4 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the answer is
