Answer:

   12.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 100(1/2)^(d/5) = 100((1/2)^(1/5))^d ≈ 100(.87055)^d

The daily decrease is 1 - 0.87055 = 0.12944 ≈ 12.94%

What is x divided by x-1 - 1 divided by 2-2x expessed as a single fraction ?
Kay [80]
To simplify into 1 fraction, remember, we must make the denominator the same
x/ (x-1 )  - 1/ (2-2x)
= -x/ -(1-x) - 1/(2-2x)    [see the similarity now? ]  [whatever we multiply for the denominator, as long as we multiply to the numerator, it will be ok]
= -2x / -(2-2x)    + 1/-(2-2x)
= (-2x+1 )/ -(2-2x)
=(2x-1)/(2-2x)

The price of an iPod is reduced in a sale from £200 to £145. The price of the iPod is further decreased by 22% two months later.
mixer [17]

Answer:

How do you prove theorems behind two parallel lines cut by a transversal?
LenaWriter [7]
The way to do it can be explained like this:
Say AB and CD are the two parallel lines cut by a transversal at E and F respectively.
 Then the pairs of alternate interior angles are:
Angle(AEF) and Angle(DFE)
Angle(CFE) and Angle(BEF)
Now lets prove if this is true:
<span>Angle(CFE) +Angle(DFE) = 180
(linear pair)
Also
Angle(CFE) +Angle(AEF) = 180
(Corresponding angles)
</span><span>Equate the above results:
Angle(CFE) +Angle(DFE) = Angle(CFE) +Angle(AEF)
</span><span>Angle(DFE) = Angle(AEF)
</span>Happens the same with
<span>Angle(CFE) = Angle(BEF)
</span>Hope this is very useful for you
