Answer:

25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to do a rule of three:

$\frac{\$400}{\$300}=\frac{100\%}{x}$

$x=\frac{300*100}{400}$

x= 75%.

Then, the percent decrease was 25%.

Translate the following into an algebraic expression: a The number that is 40% more than five more than a number a.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

x = a + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x = The number that is 40% more than five more than a number a.

x = 40% more than 5 (plus a)

5 * 0.6 = 3

5+3 = 8

x = a + 8

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The following combination describes a regression line that is a good fit for the data

a. Larger R-sq and small Se

Step-by-step explanation:

In regression analysis, we measure the goodness of fit in terms of two parameters.

1. R² ( R-squared or also called the coefficient of determination)

2. SE ( Standard Error)

1. R-squared

The R-squared indicates the relative measure of the percentage of the variance with respect to the dependent variable.

R-squared is measured in percentage so it doesn't have any unit.

The greater the R-squared percentage, the better is the goodness of fit.

2. Standard Error

The SE basically indicates that on average how far the data points are from the regression line.

The unit of the standard error is the same as the dependent variable.

The lower the SE, the better is the goodness of fit.

Therefore, the correct option is (a)

a. Larger R-sq and small Se

1/(x-2)+1/(x+3)=1/5 solve the problem for me

<h3>Final value : x² -9x - 11</h3>

════════════════════

$\frac{1}{(x - 2)} + \frac{1}{(x + 3)} = \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{(x + 3) + (x - 2)}{(x - 2)(x + 3)} = \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2x + 1}{ {x}^{2} + 3x - 2x - 6 } = \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2x + 1}{ {x}^{2} + x - 6} = \frac{1}{5}$

2x + 1 = ⅕ × (x² + x - 6)

2x + 1 = ⅕x² + ⅕x - 6/5

1/5x² +1/5x - 2x - 6/5 - 1 = 0

1/5x² -9/5x - 11/5 = 0

x² - 9x - 11 = 0. #times by 5

Help find area of parallelogram!!!

Anika [276]

$\bf \textit{Law of sines} \\\\ \cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{sin(75^o)}{17}=\cfrac{sin(D)}{10}\implies \cfrac{10sin(75^o)}{17}=sin(D) \\\\\\ sin^{-1}\left[ \cfrac{10sin(75^o)}{17} \right]=D\implies 34.6\approx D$

since all interior angles in a triangle must be 180°, that means that C = 180 - 75 - 34.6 = 70.4. Let's find AD, which is the other sides pair length.

$\bf \cfrac{sin(75^o)}{17}=\cfrac{sin(70.4^o)}{AD}\implies ADsin(75^o)=17sin(70.4^o) \\\\\\ AD=\cfrac{17sin(70.4^o)}{sin(75^o)}\implies AD\approx 16.58$

now, check the picture below, let's find the altitude of the parallelogram.

$\bf sin(34.6^o)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{h}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{16.58}}\implies 16.58sin(34.6^o)=h\implies 9.4\approx h \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{area of a parallelogram}\\\\ A=bh~~ \begin{cases} b=base\\ h=height\\ \cline{1-1} b=17\\ h=9.4 \end{cases}\implies A=(17)(9.4)\implies A=159.8$
