The number $75$ is decreased by $40\%$, then the result is again decreased by $40\%$. What is the final result?

1 answer:

7 0

To get 75 decreased by 40% you subtract 40% from 100%.
100 - 40 = 60

So to get 60% of 75 you multiply .60 by 75.
.60 x 75 = 45

You have $45 now, but you have to decrease it by 40% again. You do the same process, so we need to multiply .60 by 45.
.60 x 45 = 27

So, the final result is $27.

For which rational expression is –2 an excluded value of x?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

option a is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

put the value of x in each expression as x = -2

you'll see that in option a the expression becomes

$\frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2} - 4} = \frac{ - 2 - 3}{ {( - 2)}^{2} - 4} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{4 - 4} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{0}$

which is not defined. hence -2 is excluded value

Answer:

FALSE

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

For median,

Arrange your numbers in numerical order.

Count how many numbers you have.

If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.

If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.

Source: https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-identify-and-calculate-the-mean-median-or-mode-2795785

So for April median: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.5 (since we have 4 numbers we divide by 2 and we count by 2 places from left. Since we have even number data, we average 3 with the next higher position to get the median so (3+3.5)/2 = 3.25

For May apply same concept and you get median to be 2.25.

Median difference is 3.25-2.25 = 1

Therefore, statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.

For average in May, add all numbers and divide by the number of data points so May= (2.5+3+3.5+3.5)/ 4 = 3.13

Apply same concept you for April and you get 2.38 as mean.

Mean difference is 3.13-2.38 = 0.75

Therefore, statement 3 is correct (true)

6. Blake went to the grocery store at 6:30PM, He returned to his house around 9:14PM after running

zhenek [66]

If you subtract the times periods form each you will be able to get your answer. So, 9:14-6:30 it will be 2 hours and 44 mins because from 6:30 to 7 it 30 mins, and from 7 to 9 it’s 2 hours. So far, add the two and you get 2h and 30mins and from 9 to 9:14 it’s 14 mins. So, 2h 30 mins plus 14 mins is 2h and 44mins.

Which equation represents the data in

klasskru [66]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are put in slope intercept form

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b = y intersect

So in order to find the equation of the data represented by the table we will have to find the slope and y intercept

Let's begin!

First let's find the slope

We can find the slope by using the slope formula

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the x and y values are derived from coordinates from the table

The points chosen may vary but I have chosen the points (0,-4) and (1,-2)

Now that we have chosen the points we will use to find the slope let's define the variables

remember coordinates are written like this: (x,y)

The x value of the second coordinate is 1 so x2 = 1

The x value of the first coordinate is 0

So x1 = 0

The y value of the second coordinate is -2 so y2 = -2

The y value of the first coordinate is -4

So y1 = -4

Now that we have defined each variable let's plug in the values into the formula

Formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Variables: x2 = 1, x1 = 0, y2 = -2, y1 = -4

Substitute values

m = (-2 - (-4) / ( 1 - 0 )

Evaluate

The negative signs cancel out on top and it changes to +4

m = (-2 + 4)/(1-0)

Add top values

m = 2/(1-0)

Subtract bottom numbers

m = 2/1

Simplify fraction

m = 2

So we can conclude that the slope (m) = 2

Now let's find the y intercept or "b"

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0

If you look at the table when x = 0 y = -4 meaning that the y intercept or "b" is -4

Now that we have found everything let's find the equation of the data represented by the table

The equation is in slope intercept form

y = mx + b

Define variables

m = 2 and b = -4

Substitute values

y = 2x - 4

The equation is y = 2x - 4
