Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to Harry bought a quantity of fruit.

He sold half, that is 50% but I earn 60%, that is to say that here he made 10% of profits.

Then he sold 1/4 of the total, that is 25% but he took 20% of profits, that is to say that in this case he obtained 5% of losses.

They tell us that the rest was spoiled, that is, 100 - 50 - 25 = 25% was spoiled, and all that is lost, in the end the balance is as follows:

10% - 5% - 25% = -20%

That is to say that in general it lost 20% of the total.

Answer: 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be "4x".

60% gain on 1/2 of them will be:

(1.60 × 2x) = 3.2x - 2x = 1.2x

20% gain on (1/4) of them will be:

(1.2 × x) = 1.2x - x= 0.2x

Total gain 1.2x + 0.2x = 1.4x

Total gain percent= Gain/Original price =1.4x/4x = 0.35 = 35%

Answer:

R(x) = (1.3)^{3x-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(x) = (1.3)^{x + 9}

B(x) = (1.3)^{4x + 1}

Required

Ratio B(x) to A(x)

This is calculated as:

R(x) = B(x) : A(x)

Express as fraction

R(x) = \frac{B(x) }{A(x)}

Substitute: A(x) = (1.3)^{x + 9} and  B(x) = (1.3)^{4x + 1}

R(x) = \frac{(1.3)^{4x+1}}{(1.3)^{x+9}}

Apply law of indices

R(x) = (1.3)^{4x-x+1-9}

R(x) = (1.3)^{3x-8}

Given the equation 4x2 − 8x 20 = 0, what are the values of h and k when the equation is written in vertex form a(x − h)2 k = 0?
Westkost [7]

The vertex form of the given quadratic equation is

4(x-1)^{2} + 16 =0.

According to the given question.

We have a quadratic equation

4x^{2} -8x + 20 = 0

Since, for the standard quadratic form is ax^{2} +bx + c = y, the vertex form of a quadratic equation is y = a(x -h)^{2} + k where (h, k) is the vertex.    

And h and k can be calculated as

h = -b/2a and y = k

So, for the given equation 4x^{2} -8x + 20 =0 the vertex (h, k) is given by

h = -(-8)/2(4) = 8/8 = 1   (X coordinate of vertex)

and,

y =4x^{2} -8x+ 20

substitute x = 1 in the above equation for the value of k

Y = 4(1)(1) - 8(1) + 20

⇒ Y = 4 - 8 + 20

⇒ Y = -4 + 20

⇒ Y = 16

so, k = 16          (Y coordinate of vertex)

Now, substitute the value of a, k and h in y = a(x-h)^{2} + k.

⇒  0 =4(x-1)^{2} + 16

Therefore, the vertex form of the given quadratic equation is

4(x-1)^{2} + 16 =0.
