Hello!
So, here you want to do the distributive property.
Start on the left side of the + sign...
-3*u = -3u
-3*3 = -9
So we now we have:
(-3u + -9) + 4(4u + 2)
Now we focus on the right side of the + sign...
4*4u=16u
4*2=8
So now we have:
(-3u + -9) + (16u + 8)
Now you want to combine like terms. Start by adding terms with the same variable. So, we need to add -3u and 16u
<em>-3u + 16u =</em> 13u
Now we have:
13u + -9 + 8
Now add the constants, -9 + 8
-9 + 8 = -1
So, the simplified expression would be:
13u - 1 or 13u + -1
Actual price of the dress = 72
Selling price = 45
72 - 45 = $ 27
Percentage of decrease =

<h3>= <u>37.5%</u></h3>
.... Hope this will help.....
Answer:
y=1/2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture you can see that (0, -5) is a point on the function and that (2, -4) is another point. Using these you can find the slope of the function with the equation

We can substitute in the points so it looks like
or
which is the slope of the function
Now, since the y-intercept is (0, -5) on the graph, the b part in the slope-intercept form of the equation would be -5, leaving us with the equation y=1/2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the first derivative


Set the derivative equal to 0.




or

For any number less than -1, the derivative function will have a Positve number thus a Positve slope for f(x).
For any number, between -1 and 1, the derivative slope will have a negative , thus a negative slope.
Since we are going to Positve to negative slope, we have a local max at x=-1
Plug in -1 for x into the original function

So the local max is 2 and occurs at x=-1,
For any number greater than 1, we have a Positve number for the derivative function we have a Positve slope.
Since we are going to decreasing to increasing, we have minimum at x=1,
Plug in 1 for x into original function


So the local min occurs at -2, at x=1
