If you would like to know what is the selling price of the sweater, you can calculate this using the following steps:

40% of x is $8
40% * x = 8
40/100 * x = 8      /*100/40
x = 8 * 100 / 40
x = $20

Result: The selling price of the sweater is $20.

Use ratios: \frac{40}{100} =  \frac{8}{?}

Since 40/8=5, then you do the same on the bottom. 100/5=20, so the sweater was originally $20.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I just answered that. so, here again :

all we need to do is find the surface area, deduct windows and door areas.

that gives us the m² to be covered, which we have to multiply by $12.50 to get the total price.

the house surface area is like for a box, but we don't care about the top and the bottom. only about the walls.

the "box" is 18 m × 14 m × 4 m.

so, the front and the back walls are each

18m × 4 m = 72 m²

both front and back : 2×72 = 144 m²

each side wall is

14m × 4m = 56 m²

both sides : 2×56 = 112 m²

now for the deductions.

each window is

1.5 × 2 = 3 m²

both windows : 2×3 = 6 m²

the door is

1 × 2.5 = 2.5 m²

so, the total area to "side" is

144 + 112 - 6 - 2.5 = 247.5 m²

to side 247.5 m² it costs

247.5 × 12.5 = $3,093.75

Which expression can be used to find the sum of the polynomials? (9 – 3x2) + (–8x2 + 4x + 5)
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

- 11x² + 4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(9 - 3x²) + (- 8x² + 4x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis by 1

= 9 - 3x² - 8x² + 4x + 5 ← collect like terms

= - 11x² + 4x + 14 ← sum of the polynomials

Solve -8x + 4 ≤ 36<br><br>A. x ≥ -4<br><br>B. x ≤ 4<br><br>C. x ≥ 4<br><br>D. x ≤ -4
nexus9112 [7]
- 8x + 4 ≤ 36
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-8x ≤ 32
Divide both sides by -8.        When dividing by a negative number change the
 x ≥  - 4                                   inequality sign.

How to differentiate ?
Bas_tet [7]

Use the power, product, and chain rules:

y = x^2 (3x-1)^3

• product rule

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}\times(3x-1)^3 + x^2\times\dfrac{\mathrm d(3x-1)^3}{\mathrm dx}

• power rule for the first term, and power/chain rules for the second term:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 2x\times(3x-1)^3 + x^2\times3(x-1)^2\times\dfrac{\mathrm d(3x-1)}{\mathrm dx}

• power rule

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 2x\times(3x-1)^3 + x^2\times3(3x-1)^2\times3

Now simplify.

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 2x(3x-1)^3 + 9x^2(3x-1)^2 \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = x(3x-1)^2 \times (2(3x-1) + 9x) \\\\ \boxed{\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = x(3x-1)^2(15x-2)}

You could also use logarithmic differentiation, which involves taking logarithms of both sides and differentiating with the chain rule.

On the right side, the logarithm of a product can be expanded as a sum of logarithms. Then use other properties of logarithms to simplify

\ln(y) = \ln\left(x^2(3x-1)^3\right) \\\\ \ln(y) =  \ln\left(x^2\right) + \ln\left((3x-1)^3\right) \\\\ \ln(y) = 2\ln(x) + 3\ln(3x-1)

Differentiate both sides and you end up with the same derivative:

\dfrac1y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac2x + \dfrac9{3x-1} \\\\ \dfrac1y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{15x-2}{x(3x-1)} \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{15x-2}{x(3x-1)} \times x^2(3x-1)^3 \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = x(15x-2)(3x-1)^2
