Hi there! The formula for finding the slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. This means you subtract the first x and y-coordinates form the second x and y-coordinates. (-4.1, 7.4) is the first coordinate and (4.3, 3.2) is the second coordiante. Set it up like this:
3.2 - 7.4 / 4.3 - (-4.1)
Now, let's subtract. 3.2 - 7.4 is -4.2. 4.3 - (-4.1) is 9.4. -4.2/9.4 is -0.5 when simplified. There. The slope of the line is -0.5. The answer is C: -0.5.
Note: When you subtract a negative number, you're actually adding. So if an expression is 2 - (-3), the answer is 5, because you add 3 into 2.
![\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{x+h}-\sqrt[3]x}h\times\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{(x+h)^2}+\sqrt[3]{x(x+h)}+\sqrt[3]{x^2}}{\sqrt[3]{(x+h)^2}+\sqrt[3]{x(x+h)}+\sqrt[3]{x^2}}=\dfrac{(\sqrt[3]{x+h})^3-(\sqrt[3]x)^3}\cdots](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%2Bh%7D-%5Csqrt%5B3%5Dx%7Dh%5Ctimes%5Cdfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%5E2%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%28x%2Bh%29%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%5E2%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%28x%2Bh%29%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%2Bh%7D%29%5E3-%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5Dx%29%5E3%7D%5Ccdots)
The
s then cancel, leaving you with the
![\cdots=\sqrt[3]{(x+h)^2}+\sqrt[3]{x(x+h)}+\sqrt[3]{x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ccdots%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%5E2%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%28x%2Bh%29%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D)
term.
If it's not clear what I did above, consider the substitution
![a=\sqrt[3]{x+h}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%2Bh%7D)
and
![b=\sqrt[3]x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5Dx)
. Then
Answer:
Suppose we have a random number A.
The multiplicative inverse of A is a number X such that:
A*X = 1
When we work with real numbers, X = 1/A
Then:
A*(1/A) = A/A = 1
This means that (1/A) is the multiplicative inverse of A.
Where we need to have A ≠ 0, because we can not divide by 0.
Now we want to find the multiplicative inverse of the numbers:
2: Here the inverse is (1/2) = 0.5
1/5: Here the inverse is (1/(1/5)) = (5/1) = 5
-4: Herre the inverse is (1/(-4)) = -(1/4) = -0.25
In order to solve this, you have to take the number of copies of the Prisoner of Azkaban and divide it by the number of copies of the Sorcerer's Stone:
13.2÷20=0.66
To get this into a percentage, multiply the 0.66 by 100, and get 66%, meaning that The Prisoner of Azkaban was sold only 66% as much as The Sorcerer's Stone.
