Answer:

£8 889

Step-by-step explanation:

If a man earns 900% more than his original wage, it implies that the percentage of his original wage is 100% such that he earned 9 times his original wage. Thus 900/100 = 9

Therefore, his original wage is:

$\frac{80000}{9} = 8889$

The man's original wage is £8 889

Check

£8 889 × 9 = £80 001, approximately £80 000.

How do u write 4 1/4 in simplest form and not in decimals I haven't learned that yet .

It already is in simplest form because the numerator and denonimator don't have a common factor to then divide them by.

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=xy−4x in the region bounded by the x-axis and the parabola y=16−x2.

skad [1K]

Answer:

The absolute maximum and minimum is $20\; \text{and} -20.$

Step-by-step explanation:

We first check the critical points on the interior of the domain using the

first derivative test.

$f_x=y-4=0$

$f_y=x=0$

The only solution to this system of equations is the point (0, 4), which lies in the domain.

$f_{xx}=0, \;f_{yy}=0\; \text{and}\; f_{xy}=-1$

$\Rightarrow f_{xx}f_{yy}-f_{xy}=o-1=-1$

$\therefore (0,4)$ is a saddle point.

Boundary points - $(4,0), (-4,0), (0,16)$

Along boundary $y=16-x^2$

$f=x(16-x^2)-4x$

$=16x-x^3-4x$

$\Rightarrow f^'=16-3x^2-4=0$

$\Rightarrow 3x^2=12$

$\Rightarrow x=\pm2,\;\;y=14$

Values of f(x) at these points.

$\begin{array}{}(4,0)=-16\\(-4,0)=16\\(0,16)=0\\(2,14)=20\\(-2,14)=-20\end{array}$

Therefore, the absolute maximum and minimum is $20\; \text{and} -20.$

What is the arc measure of major arc AC on circle P in degrees

andreyandreev [35.5K]

An arc is a segment of a circle. An arc measure is the measure of an angle that the arc creates in the center of a circle, while an arc length is the span of the arc. This measure can be given in degrees or radians. We can easily convert between the two using the fact that pi radians = 180 degrees.
