Answer:
Both ways are correct
If you multiply the cost by 8% and add, you will still get 108% as your total.
8 = x% * 400
8 = x/100 * 400
8 = x * 4
4x = 8
Divide 4 on both sides.
x = 8/4
x = 2
2 percent<span> of 400 is 8.</span>
Answer:
f(x) = 3(0.2)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
The leading coefficient is 3 as x = 0 gives f(x) = 3.
When x = 1, f(x) = 0.6. so try :
0.6 =3(1.2)^1 = 3.6 so it's not the fiirst choice.
0.6 = 3(0.2)^1 = 0.6 so its last choice.
Check when x = -1:
3(0.2)^-1
= 3/ 0.2
= 15
<u>Solution-</u>
The two parabolas are,

By solving the above two equations we calculate where the two parabolas meet,

Given the symmetry, the area bounded by the two parabolas is twice the area bounded by either parabola with the x-axis.
