Answer:
43/50
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
Given 3a/(a+1)^2
To make the denominator a cube, you would have to multiply by 1 or (a+1)/(a+1)
yielding 3a(a+1)/(a+1)^3
(3a^2 + 3a) is the equivalent numerator
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
Answer:
1.47
Step-by-step explanation:
9.76/10=10% = 0.976 round to 0.98
5%=0.97/2 = 0.49
add them = 1.47 tip
