Factoring this trinomial as the product of two binomials,

we have (x - 9)(x + 2) and set that equal to 0.

So we have (x - 9)(x + 2) = 0.

So either x - 9 = 0 or x + 2 = 0.

Solving for <em>x</em> in each equation, we find that our solution is {9, -2}.

Find the selling price of a $270 bicycle with a 24% markup.

lisov135 [29]

1 percent of $270 is 2.70 (you just move the decimal point). then multiply your 1 percent by 24 and you have the answer. I get $64.80, doing it on paper.
Add the 24 percent to the original price and you have your retail price: $334.80. If you have a calculator, check my maths.

Is 0.790 greater than or equal to 0.79?

dedylja [7]

It's the same vallue. If they were different, i could argue that 2.000 is greater than 2.00. Impossible, because 2 is equal to 2.

The radius of a giant beach ball is 18 inches. What is its surface area?

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

4071.5 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4πr²

In this case, with r = 18 in, A = 4π(18 in)² = 4071.5 in²
