Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase = increase divided by original number x 100

increase is the difference between the two numbers...

new number - original number.....4000 - 2800 = 1200

percent increase = (1200 / 2800) x 100

= 0.42857 (round to .4286) x 100

= 42.86 %.....if you need it rounded to the nearest percent, it would be 43% increase

There are 52 weeks in a year, but since she gets paid biweekly she is paid every other week, making it only 26 weeks. this means she earns $1,000 every two weeks, or $500 every week. if she works for 50 hours a week and earns $500, she makes $10 an hour.

Let f(x) = cos(x) + 2x. Where does f have critical points?

adell [148]

Answer:

f has no critical points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$f(x)=\cos(x)+2x$

A function has critical points whenever its derivative equals 0 or is undefined.

Differentiate the function:

$f'(x)=-\sin(x)+2$

Since this will never be undefined, solve for its zeros:

$0=-\sin(x)+2$

Hence:

$\displaystyle \sin(x)=2$

Recall that the value of sine is always between -1 and 1.

Thus, no real solutions exist.

Therefore, f has no critical points.

Auto-Check Motors charged Mr. Jones $84.00 for an automotive part plus $68.00 per hour that a mechanic worked to install the par

avanturin [10]

You're going to want to take the total, which is $353.00 and subtract the initial cost, which is $84.00, the number now should be $269. Using that total divide it by $68.00, there you should find your answer of about 4 hours. The precise answer is 3.99588235. But you would round that to 4 hours.
