It would be > cause it is a smaller fraction which makes the decimal a bigger number
Hope it helps
Answer=$3.20
8%=0.08
$40.00*0.08=$3.20
The markup was $3.20
9 of 12 were returned which is the same as 9/12. Reduce the fraction...
9/12 = 3/4
To find percent we need the denominator to equal 100 so if we multiply by 25/25...
3/4 × 25/25 = 75/100 =
75%
<span>I assume that the x is squared
(on Yahoo!Answers, we often use the caret ^ to show a power or an exponent)
(think of it as a tiny arrow pointing up, showing that the following number should be seen as if it were raised above the line)
2(x^2 + 5) = 60
Can it be x = 5 ?
we test:
2(5^2 + 5) = 2(25 + 5) = 2(30) = 60
it works, therefore x = 5 is a solution.
Can it be x = -5?
we test again:
2[(-5)^2 + 5) = 2(25 + 5) = 2(30) = 60
it works, therefore x = -5 is also a solution.
The way you did it, there could be some confusion between step 4 and step 5 (because you do not explain how you go from 4 to 5).
If you simply "take the square root" on both sides, someone could argue that the "principal" square root of a number is the positive value (+5 only, not -5). On the other hand, if you state:
(after step 4), we look for all values that give 25 when they are squared, then -5 is allowed.
The way the conjecture is stated at the beginning, the easiest way is to check both values to find out that, yes, they are both valid solutions.</span>
Your answer is C) 2a² + 2b²
To find this we can just expand the brackets of (a - b)² and (a + b)², and then combine like terms:
(a - b)² = (a - b)(a - b) = a² - 2ab + b²
(a + b)² = (a + b)(a + b) = a² + 2ab + b²
Then when you combine like terms, you get (a² + a²) + (-2ab + 2ab) + (b² + b²), so the ab terms cancel out and you get left with 2a² + 2b².
I hope this helps!
