Purchase price of the house = $360,000

Price of the house after 1 year = $253,800

Percent decrease in the value of the house = \frac{Purchase price of the house - Price of the house after 1 year}{Purchase price of the house} * 100

⇒ Percent decrease in the value of the house = \frac{360,000 - 253,800}{360,000} * 100

⇒ Percent decrease in the value of the house = \frac{106,200}{360,000} * 100

⇒ Percent decrease in the value of the house = 29.5%

Hence, the price of the house decreased by 29.5% over an year.

Divide 29 into two parts so that the sun of the squares of the parts is 425.Find the value of each Part.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

13 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 parts be x and y, then

x + y = 29 → (1) and

x² + y² = 425 → (2)

From (1) → x = 29 - y → (3)

substitute x = 29 - y into (2)

(29 - y)² + y² = 425 ( expand factor )

841 - 58y + y² + y² = 425 ( rearrange into standard form )

2y² - 58y + 416 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form

divide all terms by 2

y² - 29y + 208 = 0

Consider the factors of 208 which sum to - 29

These are - 13 and - 16, hence

(y - 13)(y - 16) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for y

y - 13 = 0 ⇒ y = 13

y - 16 = 0 ⇒ y = 16

substitute these values into (3)

x = 29 - 13 = 16 and x = 29 - 16 = 13

The 2 parts are 13 and 16
