a) Simply do 0.135(13.5%)*550 to get that his rent increases by $74.25.

b) Simply do 550+74.25 to get that his new rent is $624.25.

c) 624.25/550 = 1.135, or 100%+13.5%, the amount his rent increased.

Answer:

A. $74.25

B. $624.25

C. 1.135, and this is a connection to part a because it's what we multiplied 550 by to get our new rent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Shawn pays $550 per month for rent, and he has a 13.5% increase, we can multiply 550 by 1+\frac{13.5}{100} to get our new number.

1+0.135=1.135

550\cdot1.135=624.25

This is the new monthly rent, part B. To find Part A, let's subtract 550 from thi number.

624.25-550=74.25

Now, for part C, let's divide 624.25 by 550.

624.25\div550 = 1.135

If you notice, 1.135 is the same number we multiplied 550 by to get our new cost, and as a percent, 1.135 is 113.5%.

Hope this helped!

What is the solution of the equation over the complex numbers
denis-greek [22]

<u>Answer:</u>

2i\sqrt{3}

-2i\sqrt{3}

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

x^2 + 12

First set the equation to 0

x^2 + 12

x^2 + 12 = 0

Second, get the 12 on the right side of the equal sign by adding a -12 to each side

x^2 + 12 = 0

x^2 + 12 + (-12) = 0 -12

x^2 = -12

Square root both sides of the equal sign.

x^2 = -12

\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{-12}

Take the square root on left sides of the equal sign.

\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{-12}

x = \sqrt{-12}

Take the square root on the right side of the equal sign. Remember \sqrt{-1} = i

x = \sqrt{-12}

x = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{3}}

x = 2i\sqrt{3}

<u>AND</u>

x = -2i\sqrt{3}

The area of a room is 600 square feet. The length is (x+2) feet and the width is (x+3) feet. Find the dimensions of the room
m_a_m_a [10]
Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.
