By what percent must we decrease the number A to obtain the number 4A/5?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 years ago
8 0

\bf \cfrac{4A}{5}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}\cdot A\impliedby \textit{A is being reduced to four fifths} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{let's convert four fifths to percentage}}{\cfrac{4}{5}\cdot 100\implies \cfrac{400}{5}\implies 80}


so 4/5 of A is really 80% of A then.

since a whole A is 100% of A, 100% - 80% = 20%, A is being reduced by 20%, namely 1/5.

Find the quotient of these complex numbers.
stich3 [128]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  (45+11i)/29

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

  \dfrac{5-7i}{2-5i}=\dfrac{(5-7i)(2+5i)}{(2-5i)(2+5i)}=\dfrac{(5)(2)+(-7i)(5i) +(5)(5i)+(-7i)(2)}{2^2+5^2}\\\\=\dfrac{(10+35)+(24-14)i}{29}=\boxed{\dfrac{45}{29}+\dfrac{11}{29}i}

Which of the following is a true statement
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

11/15 < 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  5/6 = 10/12, so the first answer is not correct

2. 1/4 = 4/16, so the second answer is not correct

3. 3/4 = 9/12 and 4/6 = 8/12, so the third answer is not correct

4. 4/5 = 12/15 > 11/15, so this answer is correct

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box  has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

                                                         =(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

                                                         =(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}

\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box  has largest volume.
