During a sale a dress decreased in price from $60 to $48 what was the percent of decrease

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elza [17]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The percent decrease was 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, use the percent change equation.

(New - Old)/(Old) * 100 = % Change

Now input 48 for the New price and 60 for the Old price.

(48 - 60)/(60) * 100 = % Change

12/60 * 100 = % Change

.2 * 100 = % Change

20 = % Change

5. Simplify the expression and find its value when p= 4 and q = -5:
Ierofanga [76]
  • <u>Answer</u>: -180

Step-by-step explanation:

\bf   \blue{ \boxed{  \bf p = 4 \:  \: and \:  \: q =  - 5 \Rightarrow pq = 4 \times ( - 5) =  - 20}}

3(p2q + pq2 - pq) - 6pq + 3pq2 =

3[-20 × 2 + (-20) × 2 - (-20)] - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =

3[-40 + (-40) + 20] - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =

3(-40 - 40 + 20) - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =

3(-80 + 20) - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =

3 × (-60) - 6 × (-20) + 3 × 2 × (-20) =

-180 + 120 + 6 × (-20) =

-180 + 120 + (-120) =

-180 + 120 - 120 =

-60 - 120 = -180

Suppose a random sample of 50 college students are asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 95% confide
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A  99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  95% confidence interval for for the mean foot length for students at the college is found to be 21.709 to 25.091 cm

Generally the width of a confidence interval is dependent on the margin of error.

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

From the above equation we see that

          E \ \  \alpha \ \   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }

Here  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  is the critical value of the half of the level of significance and this value  increase as the confidence level increase

Now if a  99% confidence level is  used , it then means that the value of  

 Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  will increase, this in turn will increase  the margin of error and in turn this will increase the width of the confidence interval

Hence a 99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Use a graphing utility to graph the function and the damping factor of the function in the same viewing window.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The function touches the damping factor

at x=\frac{(4n-3)\pi}{2} and x=\frac{(4n-1)\pi}{2}

The x-intercept of f(x) is

at x=n\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x)=e^{-3x} sin(x) and damping factor as y=e^{-3x} and y=(-1)e^{-3x}

To find when function touches the damping factor:

For f(x)=e^{-3x} sin(x) and y=e^{-3x}

Equating the both the equation,

e^{-3x} sin(x)=e^{-3x}

sin(x)=1

x=\frac{(4n-3)\pi}{2}

For f(x)=e^{-3x} sin(x) and y=(-1)e^{-3x}

Equating the both the equation,

e^{-3x} sin(x)=(-1)e^{-3x}

sin(x)=(-1)

x=\frac{(4n-1)\pi}{2}

Therefore, The function touches the damping factor x=\frac{(4n-3)\pi}{2} and x=\frac{(4n-1)\pi}{2}

To find x-intercept of f(x):

For x-intercept, y=0

f(x)=e^{-3x} sin(x)

y=e^{-3x} sin(x)

e^{-3x} sin(x)=0

Hence, e^{-3x} is always greater than zero.

Therefore,sin(x)=0

x=n\pi

Thus,

The x-intercept of f(x) is at x=n\pi
