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

Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the quadratic formula, that is ax2+bx+c=0

Where

$x=\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2a}$

For the given equation x2+5x-104=0 we have

a=1, b=5, c= -104

If you solve that, we will have x=-13. x=8, two answers,

The first one, by being negative does not have physical sense (there are no negatives quantities when you measure the length of something)

So we use the anwser x=8
