<span>If a quantity increases by 25% and then decreases by 25%, will that result be the original quantity? Explain.
Let’s try to be able to know the answer:
=> Let’s have 10 as the value
Increase by 25%
=> 10 + 25%
=> 10 * .25 =  2.5
=> 10 + 2.5 = 12.5 the new value
Now, decrease this by 25%
=> 12.5 – 25%
=> 12.5 * .25 = 3.125
=> 12.5 – 3.125 = 9.375 or 9.4
Thus, the given statement is false.

An ellipse is centered at the origin. Find it’s equation.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

(x)^2        (y)^2

---------- + --------- = 1

 4              3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation for an ellipse is

(x-h)^2     (y-k)^2

---------- + --------- = 1

a^2            b^2

The center is at (h,k)

The vertices are at (h±a, k)

The foci are at (h±c,k )

Where c is sqrt(a^2 - b^2)

It is centered at the origin so h,k are zero

(x)^2        (y)^2

---------- + --------- = 1

a^2            b^2

The center is at (0,0)

The vertices are at (0±a, 0)

The foci are at (0±c,0 )

The vertices are (±2,0)  so a =2

The foci is 1

c = sqrt(a^2 - b^2)

1 = sqrt(2^2 - b^2)

Square each side

1 = 4-b^2

Subtract 4 from each side

1-4 = -b^2

-3 = -b^2

3= b^2

Take the square root

b=sqrt(3)

(x)^2        (y)^2

---------- + --------- = 1

 4              3

Solve: 16x2 − 80 = 0 Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Leto [7]

Answer:

x = ±2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

16x² - 80 = 0

16x² = 80 (Add 80)

x² = 5 (Divide by 16)

x = ±√5 (Square root both sides)

≈ 2.24, -2.24
