Mathematics
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]4 years ago
8 0
Percent means parts out of 100
85%=85/100=0.85
'of' means multiply

therefor
85% of x equals 17 means
0.85 times x=17
divide both sides by 0.85
x=20



the number is 20

Se implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.7x2 + xy + 7y2 = 15, (1, 1)
suter [353]
F'(x, y) = 14x +xydy/dx + 14ydy/dx = 0
(xy+14y)|dy/dx = -14x
dy/dx = -14x /(xy+14y)
dy/dx |(x=1,y=1) : -14(1) / (1+14) = -14/15

using
y-y1=/x-x1 = -14/15
y-1/x-1 = -14/15
15y-15 = -14x+14
15y+14x -15-14=0
14x +15y = 29

Which of these figures has rotational symmetry
Umnica [9.8K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallelogram has rotational symmetry of degree 2. It looks the same after rotation by 180°.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When a figure only looks like itself after a full rotation of 360°, it is said to have rotational symmetry of degree 1. All of the figures here will return to their original appearance after one 360° rotation. So, we assume the intent of the question is to identify figures with a <em>rotational symmetry of degree greater than 1</em>.

1. What is the value of the expression f2 + 5 if f = 3?<br> A. 8<br> B. 2<br> C. 6<br> D. 14
zaharov [31]

Option D: 14 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of given expression we have to put the given value for f in the expression

Given expression is:

f^2+5

We have to find the value of expression on f=3

So,

putting f=3 in expression

= (3)^2+5\\= 9+5\\=14

The value of given expression at f=3 is 14

Hence,

Option D: 14 is the right answer
