100% - 70% = 30%

30% of what = £33.60?

Let p = original price

0.30p = 33.60

p = 33.60 ÷ 0.30

p = £112

PLEASE ANSWER! Given the functions f(x) = x2 + 6x - 1, g(x) = -x2 + 2, and h(x) = 2x2 - 4x + 3, rank them from least to greatest

Ratling [72]

Answer:

he rank from least to great based on their axis of symmetry:

0, 1, -3 ⇒ g(x), h(x), f(x)

So, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is given by:

$ax^2+bx+c =0$

Here, a, b and c are termed as coefficients and x being the variable.

Axis of symmetry can be obtained using the formula

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

Identification of a, b and c in f(x), g(x) and h(x) can be obtained as follows:

$f(x) = x^2 + 6x - 1$

⇒ a = 1, b = 6 and c = -1

$g(x) = -x^2 + 2$

⇒ a = -1, b = 0 and c = 2

$h(x) = 2^2 - 4x + 3$

⇒ a = 2, b = -4 and c = 3

So, axis of symmetry in $f(x) = x^2 + 6x - 1$ will be:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

x = -6/2(1) = -3

and axis of symmetry in $g(x) = -x^2 + 2$ will be:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

x = -(0)/2(-1) = 0

and axis of symmetry in $h(x) = 2^2 - 4x + 3$ will be:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

x = -(-4)/2(2) = 1

So, the rank from least to great based on their axis of symmetry:

0, 1, -3 ⇒ g(x), h(x), f(x)

So, option C is correct.

What is the degree of f (x) = -5x it is a linear function? What is the m and b?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The degree is 1

It is a linear function

m = -5 and b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the degree of the equation

As we can see, it is a linear function with the highest power of as 1

That means it is of degree 1

Comparing with the general form;

y = mx + b

m = -5

b = 0

Billy is monitoring the exponential decay of a radioactive compound. He has a sample of the compound in a test tube in his lab.

Over [174]

Solution:

Formula for radioactive Decay is given by

$R_{0}= R(1-\frac{S}{100})^t$

$R_{0}$ = Initial Population

R = Remaining population after time in hours

Rate of Decay = S % per hour

Initial Population = 72 grams

Final population = 15 grams

Rate of Decay = 35 % per hour

Substituting the values to get value of t in hours

$72=15(1-\frac{35}{100})^t\\\\ 4.8= (0.65)^t\\\\ t= -3.64$ →→1 St expression

But taking positive value of t , that is after 3.64 hours the sample of 72 grams decays to 15 grams at the rate of 35 % per hour.

Now , it is also given that, Once the sample reaches a mass of 15 grams, Billy will continually add more of the compound to keep the sample size at a minimum of 15 grams.

Substituting these in Decay Formula

Final Sample = 15 gm

Starting Sample = 15 +k, where k is amount of sample added each time to keep the final sample to 15 grams.

Time is over 3.64 hours i.e new time = 3.64 + t

Rate will remain same i.e 35 % per hour.

$15=(15+k)(1-\frac{35}{100})^{3.64+t}$ →→→ Final expression (Second) , that is inequalities can be used to determine the possible mass of the radioactive sample over time.
