if you decrease by a given percent and then increase by the same percent, will you be back where you started? how do you know

1 answer:

5 0

Lets pick a random number, like 50. Lets decrease and increase it by 50%. After the decrease, you will get 25, but when you increase it by 50%, it's only 37.5. No, because when you decrease it, you have a smaller base, so it increases less than it decreases. 50% of 100 is 50, but 50% of 50 is 25. You can see there is a significant difference.

Find the lengths of the missing side . Simplify all radicals !!! help mee!!!!!!

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

$e = 13\sqrt{2}$

$f = 13\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The ∆ given is an isosceles ∆ with a right angle measuring 90°, and two congruent angles measuring 45° each.

Using trigonometric ratio formula, we can find the lengths of the missing side as shown below:

Finding e:

$sin(\theta) = \frac{opp}{hyp}$

$sin(\theta) = sin(45) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

hyp = 26

opp = e = ?

Plug in the values into the formula

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{e}{26}$

Multiply both sides by 26

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}*26 = \frac{e}{26}*26$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}*26 = e$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}*13 = e$

$13\sqrt{2} = e$

$e = 13\sqrt{2}$

Since side e is of the same length with side f, therefore, the length of side f = $13\sqrt{2}$

So I have x=cost and y=sint where t∈[0,2π).Then i exploited definition of absolute function and i got:h(t)={4cost+3sintt∈[0,π4]∪[54π,2π)2cost+5sintt∈(π4,54π)Hence i received following critical points (earlier i computed first derivative):cost=±45∨cost=±2√29Then i computed second derivative and after all i received that in (2√29,5√29) is maximum equal √29 and in (−45,−35) is minimum equal −235

Find each measurement. Assume that each figure is not drawn to scale.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1) 2 1/4 inches (2.25)

2) 5.3 millimeters

3) X=10 and YZ=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1, you just add the measurements because n and q is the start and end of the line segment.

Number 2, you are given the whole measurement, and you know FG which is 9.7, so you subtract the 15 (whole measurement) by 9.7, which is 5.3.

Number 3, you know that XY and YZ equal XZ, so 8x+1 would equal 81. Do the math, you would get 8x=80 and then x=8. Now you know x, plug it in for 6x, so 6(10)=60.
