When finding the percent difference between two numbers, there are two ways you can do this.

1. The first way is how to calculate the percentage INCREASE of two numbers:

-The formula is Increase / Original Number × 100 = % increase

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. New number - Original number = Increase.

Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. (If your answer is a negative number, then it is a percent decrease, not a percent increase.)

2. The second way is how to calculate the percentage DECREASE of two numbers:

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. Original number - New number = Decrease.

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100 = % Decrease. (If your answer is a negative number, then is is a percent increase, not a percent decrease.)

What is the surface area-to-volume ratio of the spherical barrel cactus

Butoxors [25]

I can't speak to the cactus specifically, but any sphere has a surface area of $4\pi r^2$ and a volume of $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , so the area-to-volume ratio wold be

$\frac{4\pi r^2}{ \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 } = \frac{3(4\pi r^2)}{4(\pi r^3)}$

$= \frac{3\pi r^2}{\pi r^3}\\\\
= \frac{3}{r}$

Where <em>r</em> is the radius of the sphere.

COSO ---

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

• zero: -4, -4/3, 7

• positive: -4 < x < -4/3 . . . or 7 < x

• negative: x < -4 . . . or -4/3 < x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of the function are at x=-4, -4/3, +7. These are the values that make each of the individual factors be zero. For example, x-7=0 when x=7.

The function will be negative for x-values left of an odd number of zeros. It will be positive for x-values left of an even number of zeros (including left of no zeros, which is to say right of all zeros). This is because the sign of the factor giving rise to the zero changes for x-values on either side of that zero. (This is not true for zeros with even multiplicity, as the sign does not change at those.)
