Consumer Price Index or also most commonly known as CPI is calculated through the equation,
CPI = (price at a certain year / price at base year) x 100
Since, we have chosen 2014 as the base year, the denominator of the fraction will be $86. Calculating the CPI for 2015,
CPI = ($90/$86) x 100
= <em>104.65</em>
3-8 equals to -5 because if you stele a number line and count 8 points from three it will equal -5
Answer:
x=1/3 or x=−2
if i can be brainliest that would be great
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.
3x^2+5x−2+2=0+2
3x^2+5x=2
Step 2: Since the coefficient of 3x^2 is 3, divide both sides by 3.
3x^2+5x/3=2/3
x^2+5/3x=2/3
Step 3: The coefficient of 5/3x is 5/3. Let b=5/3.
Then we need to add (b/2)^2=25/36 to both sides to complete the square.
Add 25/36 to both sides.
x^2+5/3x+25/36=2/3+25/36
x^2+5/3x+25/36=49/36
Step 4: Factor left side.
(x+5/6)^2=49/36
Step 5: Take square root.
x+5/6=±√49/36
Step 6: Add (-5)/6 to both sides.
x+5/6+ −5/6=
−5/6±√49/36x=−5/6±√49/36x=
1/3 or x=−2
Answer:
y = -4x
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx+c
gradient, m
= (4-0)/(-1-0)
= -4
y-intercept, c
= 0
y = -4x+0
y = -4x
Answer:
The length of the longer base he 35 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the length of the longer base of the trapezoid
Mathematically, we can find the area using the formula;
1/2( a + b) h
where a is the shorter base
b is the longer base
h is the height
Let the shorter base be x
The other base is 5 times this length and that makes 5 * x = 5x
Height is the average of both bases;
(x + 5x)/2 = 6x/2 = 3x
Substituting these in the formula, we have ;
1/2(x + 5x)3x = 441
3x(6x) = 882
18x^2 = 882
x^2 = 882/18
x^2 = 49
x^2 = 7^2
x = 7
But the longer base is 5x and that will be 5 * 7 = 35 units
