Answer:

The algebraic expression is (P-0.15p) = 0.85p

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an algebraic expression to model the situation at hand;

Original price p of an item less a 15% discount

What this mean is that we want to remove a 15% discount from the original price P

That term ‘less’ means we are subtracting

so 15% of p would be;

15/100 * p = 15p/100 = 0.15p

So 15% of P less P is (P-0.15P) = 0.85P

The width of rectangle A is the sum of twice a number and 8. The length of the rectangle is 3 times as great as the width. If th
Galina-37 [17]
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.

Answer:

  • C. - f(x) = f( - x)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Property of the odd function is:</u>

  • - f(x) = f( - x)

<u>Same applies to the given function:</u>

  • f(x) = -2x⁵ + x³ - 7x
  • f(- x) = -2(-x)⁵ + (- x)³ - 7(-x) = 2x⁵ - x³ + 7x = - (2x⁵ + x³ - 7x) = - f(x)
