Answer:

The correct answer is 8 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a product that costs 3.25. Including the tax, the total amount of this product will be 3.51.

Now we must find out what was the percentage applied to the ice cream.

We do it as follows:

We know that the total tax was 0.26.

To find out the percentage we will use the formula

$P=\frac{B}{A} . 100 %$

Where P represents the percentage we want to obtain, B is the value of the tax, and A is the value of the product without the tax.

We multiply that result by 100.

P = $\frac{0.26}{3.25} . 100$

$P=0.08 . 100$

$P= 8%$

In this way we can show that 8% is the percentage applied.

7/12+1/3 show your work and how you got your answer and you do all that and don’t scam me I will give branlist

Yanka [14]

Answer: 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

7/12 and 1/3 don’t have the same denominator, so you can’t just add them right away. You have to give them the same bottom number. 1/3 = 4/12, so you can do it like this:

7/12 + 4/12 = 11/12

11/12 is in simplest form, so that should be correct! Hope this helps! :)

Find the equation of the tangent line. y=(9-x^2)^1/3 at (1,2)

Schach [20]

Get the derivative:

y = (9 - x²)¹ʹ³

dy/dx = 1/3 (9 - x²)⁻²ʹ³ d/dx [9 - x²]

dy/dx = 1/3 (9 - x²)⁻²ʹ³ (-2x)

dy/dx = -2/3 x (9 - x²)⁻²ʹ³

Evaluate it at x = 1 :

dy/dx (1) = -2/3 • 8⁻²ʹ³

Since 8 = 2³, we have

8⁻²ʹ³ = 1 / 8²ʹ³ = 1 / (2³)²ʹ³ = 1 / 2² = 1/4

Then the tangent line has equation

y - 2 = 1/4 (x - 1) → y = 1/4 x + 7/4
