For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 80% -------> 16 $
 100% -----> x
 Clearing the value of x we have:
 x = (100/80) * (16)
 x = 20 $
 We will compare this result with 120% of the sale price.
 We have then:
 (1.20) * (16) = 19.2 $
 Answer:
 
The statement is not correct. The original price is:
 
x = 20 $

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

W^7/W^-2=W^7+2=W^9 ( when divide subtract the exponent (7-(-2))

W^?/W² = W^?-2

W^9=W^(?-2)

9=?-2

?=11

W^7/W^-2 = W^11/W²

Mr Thompson please help with my new HW
sesenic [268]

Answers:

  1. C) x = plus/minus 11
  2. B) No real solutions
  3. C) Two solutions
  4. A) One solution
  5. The value <u>  18  </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u>  17  </u> goes in the second blank.

========================================================

Explanations:

  1. Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
  2. There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
  3. The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
  4. We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
  5. Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.

Answer:

The null hypothesis is: u >= 1300 KN/m^2

And the alternative hypothesis is:

u < 1300 KN/m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis describes hat there is no difference or assiciation between variables of a specific population or that it is a particular average value while the alternative hypothesis states otherwise.

In this case study, the null hypothesis is: u >= 1300 KN/m^2

And the alternative hypothesis is:

u < 1300 KN/m^2.
