Answer:

The original selling price was \$75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the original selling price

we know that

100\%-20\%=80\%=80/100=0.80

so

0.80(x)=60 -----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Divide by 0.80 both sides

x=60/0.80=\$75

spencer took 21$ with him to the mall. At the music store, he spent 2/3 of his money on a DVD, he spent 1/4 of what he had left
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$5.25 Dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

I know that if you divide 21 by 3 you get 7. So, 2/3 of 21 is 14. He spent 14 dollars at the music store. This means that he has 7 dollars left. From here he spend 1/4 of 7 dollars on a drink. 1/4 of 7 is $1.75. This means that he has 5.25 dollars left after he bought the drink! :)

<em>Hope this helped! :)</em>

Is y = 0 the asymptote of all functions of the form f(x) = ab^x? Explain your reasoning.
xeze [42]
Y=0 would be a horizontal line.  An asymptote is a line that a function approaches, but never reaches.  Exponential functions such as these are a smooth curve.  If both numbers are positive numbers greater than or equal to 1, the curve increases.  If at least one of the numbers is a positive number between 0 and 1, the curve decreases.  If <em>a</em> is a negative number, the curve decreases as well.  If either <em>a</em> or <em>b</em> is zero, then the graph would stay constant at 0.  However, as long as neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, then this graph will never touch that point.  The only way to get an answer of y=0 is to multiply by 0.  If neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, this won't happen.
