Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase a number by a certain percentage it is multiplied by a decimal greater than 1. E.g. if we wanted to find 20% more of 20,000, we would do:

20% increase to a number = 1.2

20,000x1.2= 24,000

Original number x Percentage increase = Final number

Since we don't know the percentage increase, but have both other variables, we can rearrange the above equation to solve for it:

Percentage increase = final number/original number

Percentage increase = 25600/20000

Percentage increase = 1.28

Therefore the area was increased by 28%.

Hope this helped!

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building. The function below shows the height of the ball in relation to sea level, f(
gavmur [86]
We have the following function:
 f(t) = −16t2 + 34t + 546
 By definition, the average rate of change is:
 Avr = (f (t2) - f (t1)) / (t2 - t1)
 We have then:
 For t1 = 5:
 f (5) = -16*(5)^2 + 34*(5) + 546
 f (5) = 316
 For t2 = 5:
 f (7) = -16*(7)^2 + 34*(7) + 546
 f (7) = 0
 Substituting values:
 Avr = (0 - 316) / (7 - 5)
 Avr = -158
 Answer:
 The average rate of change of f (t) from t = 5 seconds to t = 7 seconds is -158 feet per second.
