Carlos has received a 9% salary increase. If he now earns $654 per week, what was his salary before the increase.?

1 answer:

6 0

So let's say he was earring x before his raise. That means that:
x times 1.09 = 654 (1.09 represents 100% (this is the 1.0) of his original salary plus 9% (this is the .09) his raise.
So,
1.09x = 654; now divide both sides by 1.09 to isolate and solve for x, and you get x = $600.

Find the limit, if it exists (picture below)

Answer:

c. $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

When plugging in zero into the given equation:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{x + 7} - \sqrt{7} }{x} = \frac{0}{0}$

Answer is in indeterminate form = use L'Hospital's Rule:

(Derivative of the top / Derivative of the bottom)

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ \frac{1}{2} (x + 7)^{ \frac{-1}{2}} - 0 }{1}$

Rearranged equation:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 7} }$

Plug zero back into equation:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 7} } = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{0 + 7} } = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7} }$

Answer:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{x + 7} - \sqrt{7} }{x} = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7} }$

Which of the following is the result of completing the square for x2 + 8x - 6 ?

melamori03 [73]

STEP 1- since 6 doesn't contain the variable to solve for move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides
X^2-8X=-6
STEP 2- create a trinomial square on the left side of the equation find the value that is equal to the square of half of b the coefficient of x
(b/2)^2 =(-4)^2
STEP 3- add the term to each side of the equation
x^2-8x+(-4)^2=-6=(-4)
STEP 4- simplify the equation
x^2-8x+16=10
STEP 5- factor the perfect trinomial square into (x-4)^2
(x-4)^2=10
STEP 6-solve the equation for x
x=4= square root of 10
