Answer:

The single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a  12% decrease is 0.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number

As first the number has to be increased by 18%

so

Step 1: write the percentage '18%' in decimal form

18% = 0.18    

Step 2: For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1

1 + 0.18 = 1.18    

Step 3: Multiply the number x by the multiplier, found in Step 2

x × 1.18 = 1.18x

<u><em>NEXT WE HAVE TO DECREASE 1.18x by 12%</em></u>

Apply the same method but with a number 1.18x

  • Write the percentage '12%' in decimal form

12% = 0.12

  • For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal to 1

1 - 0.18 = 0.18

  • Multiply the number 1.18x by the multiplier, found in Previous step

1.18x × 0.18 = 0.21x

Therefore, the single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a  12% decrease is 0.21.

Square root of 648.7209 by division method
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

25.47

Step-by-step explanation:

This root can be rewritten as:

\sqrt{\frac{6487209}{10000} }

\sqrt{\frac{6487209}{100^{2}} }

\frac{1}{100}\cdot \sqrt{6487209}

Since 6487209 is a multple of 3, the expression can be rearranged as follows:

\frac{1}{100}\cdot \sqrt{3\times 2162403}

2162403 is also a multiple of 3, then:

\frac{1}{100}\cdot \sqrt{3^{2}\times 720801}

\frac{3}{100}\cdot \sqrt{720801}

720801 is a multiple of 3, then:

\frac{3}{100}\cdot \sqrt{3\times 240267}

240267 is a multiple of 3, then:

\frac{3}{100}\times \sqrt{3^{2}\times 80089}

\frac{9}{100}\cdot \sqrt{80089}

80089 is a multiple of 283, then:

\frac{9}{100}\cdot \sqrt{283^{2}}

\frac{9\times 283}{100}

\frac{2547}{100}

Minimize Q=3x2+3y2​, where x+y=6.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

+(x + y) {}^{2}  = 6 {}^{2} \\ x {}^{2} + 2xy + y {?}^{2}  = 36

x {}^{2}  + y {}^{2}  = 36 - 2xy

q = 3(x {}^{2}  + y {}^{2} )

q = 3(36 - 2xy) = 108 - 6xy
