A 2.09% increase.

This is just some simple multiplication. A 23% increase is the same as multiplying by 1.23, and a 17% decrease is like multiplying by 0.83, since 100-17=83. Just multiply 1.23*0.83, which equals 1.0209, or a 2.09% increase.

Answer: 2.09% increase

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x = the original amount. then

23% increase is: x(1 + 0.23) = 1.23x

and a 17% decrease is 1.23x(1 - 0.17)

                                   = 1.23x(0.83)

                                   = 1.0209x

x was the original amount and 1.0209x is the new amount.

The percent change is: \dfrac{new-original}{original}=\dfrac{1.0209x-x}{x}=\dfrac{0.0209x}{x}=0.0209

Since the result is positive, it represents an increase.

Move the decimal two places to the right to convert the number to percent.

+0.0209 = 2.09 increase

Please help me Find X
solmaris [256]

The labeled angle is what's called an inscribed angle. There's a theorem (fittingly called the inscribed angle theorem) that says the measure of this angle is half the measure of the circular arc that it subtends.

In this case, the angle is subtended by an arc measuring 180°. So

(4x + 6)° = 1/2 • 180°

4x + 6 = 90

4x = 84

x = 21

Which of the following graphs represents a function?
kirza4 [7]

The third graph represents a function.

In a function, every input (x value) has <em>exactly</em> one output (y value). If even a single input has zero or two outputs, the graph does not represent a function.

A good way of testing this is using a vertical line. As you move a vertical line from left to right across a graph, it should always be touching exactly one point on the graphed line.

In this case, every graph fails this vertical line test except for the third graph, so the third graph represents a function.
