Answer:

  • original cost: $195.00
  • % discount: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

I wouldn't mess with trying to set up proportions. That seems an inappropriate tool for this. Instead, make use of the known relationships between the various prices:

  original cost - discount amount = discounted price

Adding the discounted amount to both sides of this equation gives ...

  original cost = discounted price + discount amount

  original cost = $163.80 + 31.20

  original cost = $195.00

_____

The percentage discount is ...

  percent discount = (discount amount)/(original cost) × 100%

  = $31.20/$195.00 × 100%

  = 16%

The percentage discount is 16%.

Write the quadratic equation that has roots -1-rt2/3 and -1+rt2/3 if its coefficient with x^2 is equal to 1
weeeeeb [17]

The equation of the quadratic function is f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

<h3>How to determine the quadratic equation?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Roots = (-1 - √2)/3 and (-1 + √2)/3

The quadratic equation is then calculated as

f(x) = The products of (x - roots)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

f(x) = (x - \frac{-1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(x - \frac{-1+\sqrt{2}}{3})

This gives

f(x) = (x + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})(x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})

Evaluate the products

f(x) = (x^2 + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3}x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3}x + (\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})

Evaluate the like terms

f(x) = x^2 + \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}

So, we have

f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9
