800 - 900 = -100. = 100/800=.125 x 100 = 12.5% increase.
Answer:
(3 (pm) sqrt(7))/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First step: Identify a,b, and c
a=2
b=-6
c=1
Second step: Find b^2-4ac (this is called the discriminant-I will call this D)
(-6)^2-4(2)(1)=36-8=28
Third step: Find the square root of the discriminant aka sqrt(D)
sqrt(28)
Let's see if we can simplify sqrt(28)
Here is there a factor of 28 that is a perfect square? How about 4? Yep!
sqrt(28)=sqrt(4)sqrt(7)=2sqrt(7).
Fourth Step: What is -b? If b=-6 then -b=6.
Fifth step: What is 2a? 2(2)=4
So the formula is
x=(-b (pm) sqrt(D))/(2a)
or
x=(step4 (pm) step 3)/(step 5)
x=(6 (pm) 2sqrt(7))/4
Simplify
x=(3 (pm) sqrt(7))/2
*pm means plus or minus
*sqrt( ) means square root of the number that follows in the ( )
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 5 + 6 + 3 = 14 parts
Divide number of members by 14 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
560 ÷ 14 = 40 ← value of 1 part of the ratio
(i)
number of women = 6 × 40 = 240
(ii)
number of children = 3 × 40 = 120
Answer:
police officers
Step-by-step explanation:
That's a 20% increase.
So increase the police by 20% gets you:
Based on the wording of the question, if you want a greater percentage, the answer should be a single policeman more, thus 375,001.
