The percent increase is: 35.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage increase is given by:

Percent\ increase=\frac{Increase}{Initial\ value}*100

Where

Increase=New\ quantity-old\ quantity\\

Given

Initial weight of puppy = 6.7 pounds

New weight of puppy = 9.38 pounds

Increase = New weight of Puppy - Initial weight of puppy

=9.38-6.7 =2.68

Now,

Percent\ increase\ in\ weight=\frac{Increase}{Initial\ weight}*100\\=\frac{2.38}{6.7}*100\\=0.355*100\\=35.5\%

The percent increase is: 35.5%

What is the measure of one side of the square if its area is 100x² - 160x + 64?
earnstyle [38]

The Area of a Square is the square of the measure of one side of the square.

Hence, given the expression for the area of a square, express the given area as the square of an expression to get the measure of one side.

The given expression is:

100x^2-160x+64

Rewrite the expression as:

\begin{gathered} 10^2x^2-(2\times10\times8)x+8^2 \\ =(10x)^2-(2\times10x\times8)+8^2 \end{gathered}

Recall the binomial expansion:

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

Substituting a=10x and b=8, it follows that the expression becomes:

(10x-8)^2

Since the area of a square is the square of the measure of one side, it follows that the measure of one side from the given expression is 10x-8.

Serjik [45]
Well you didn't post the expressions but let X be the amount of money for first place. This means X-50 would be the amount of second place because <span>each subsequent place after 1st wins $50 less than the previous place. Thirds, would be X-50-50 or X-100

Thus the total amount of money would be all of the values combined which is X+X-50+X-100=3X-150

Use the long division method to find the result when 9x^3+18x^2+20x+169x 3 +18x 2 +20x+16 is divided by 3x+43x+4.
fenix001 [56]

Given:

Dividend = 9x^3+18x^2+20x+16

Divisor = 3x+4

To find:

The quotient and remainder by using the long division method.

Solution:

Using the long division method, divide the polynomial 9x^3+18x^2+20x+16 by 3x+4 as shown below:

3x+4 |\overline{9x^3+18x^2+20x+16}|3x^2+2x+4\\

         9x^3+12x^2\\\underline{(-)\quad (-)\quad \quad \quad}

             0+6x^2+20x

                   6x^2+8x\\\underline{(-)\quad (-)\quad \quad \quad}

                       0+12x+16  

                             12x+8\\\underline{(-)\quad (-)}

                                     \underline{\quad 0\quad}

Therefore, the quotient is 3x^2+2x+4 and the remainder is 0.
