What is the solution set for x2+25=0

Masja [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 25 = 0 \\ \therefore {x}^{2} = - 25 \\ \therefore {x} = \sqrt{ - 25} \\ \therefore {x} = \pm\sqrt{ - 1 \times 25} \\ \therefore {x} = \pm \sqrt{ 25} \times \sqrt{ - 1} \\ \therefore {x} = \pm5 \: i \\ \therefore {x} = \{ - 5i, \: \: 5i \} \: \\ is \: the \: solution \: set.$

Two gift shops sell postcards. Each gift shop charges a fixed amount per postcard. The prices, in cents, for different numbers o

Snowcat [4.5K]

1st gift shop:

120/4 = 30 cents each

180/6 = 30 cents each

390/13 = 30 cents each

2nd gift shop:

204/7 = 29.14 cents each

192/8 = 24 cents each

270 /9 = 30 cents each

360/10 = 36 cents each

so if both gift shops have a fixed price then the 9 post cards would be the answer since it matches 30 each like the 1st gift store

A store manager paid $95 for an item and set the selling price at $116.85. What was the percent markup?

Neporo4naja [7]

We have been given that a store manager paid $95 for an item and set the selling price at $116.85. We are asked to find the percent mark-up.

We will use percent increase formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\text{Final}-\text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\times 100\%$

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\$116.85-\$95}{\$95}\times 100\%$

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\$21.85}{\$95}\times 100\%$

$\text{Percent increase}=0.23\times 100\%$

$\text{Percent increase}=23\%$

Therefore, the mark-up will be 23% and option 'b' is the correct choice.
