Answer:

24.6 % decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original temperature

Increase by 25%

x + .25x

1.25x

Decrease by 40%

The amount decreased is

(1.25x) *.40

.496x

Subtract that from 1.25x

1.25x - .496x

.754x

We need to find the percent decrease

1 - .754 = .246

24.6 % decrease

Answer:

Temperature decreased by 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial temperature be t

Step 1

<u>Increase by 25%:</u>

  • t + 25% = t + 0.25 t = 1.25 t

Step 2

<u>Decrease by 40%:</u>

  • 1.25 t  - 40% = 1.25 t - 0.4 * 1.25 t= 1.25 t - 0.5 t = 0.75 t

Temperature changed from t to 0.75 t

<u>The difference in %:</u>

  • 0.75 t - t = -0.25 t = 25% decrease

<u>Temperature decreased </u>by 25%

Hello! Here are your Answers:

12.5 - 0.009 =  <u>12.491</u>

1.25 - 0.009 =  <u>1.241</u>

0.75 - 0.009 =  <u>0.741</u>

No, in order for this to be correct, you'd have to move BOTH decimals in the same direction the same amount of places.<span />

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y+2=3/4x-8 and contains the point (-12,1)
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -4/3x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of this line, we first have to note that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. Therefore, since the original line has a slope of 3/4, we know the new line will have a slope of -4/3. Now we can use that information along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -4/3(x + 12)

y - 1 = -4/3x - 16

y = -4/3x - 15

Multiply the polynomial by distribution. Show your work and explain the steps you used to solve.
balandron [24]

Hello,

Why "Multiply the polynomial by distribution"  ?

It's s t u p i d, you compliquate the equation.

In order to find the roots of P(a)=(a-3)(a²+2a-6)=0

a²+2a-6

=(a²+2a+1)-7

=(a+1)²-7

=(a-√7)(a+√7)

P(a)=(a-3)(a-√7)(a+√7)

Roots are 3,√7 and -√7
