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%

I need assistance with "What does the area of the rectangle depend on", the graph section, and the relationship section.
DanielleElmas [232]

The area equation here is:

A=2w^2

That means that the area depends on the width measurement of the rectangle.

To graph a quadratic function you have to see if the parabole is positive and the transformations, in this case, are positive and have a multiplication by two, which means that the graphics in x=1 and x=-1 will be y=2

Finally, you can conclude that there, you have a relationship between the area and the width of the rectangle because is a quadratic relationship and the area will increase in a quadratic form according to the increase of the width.

(20n^2+N^3+10n^2) /10N^2
kirill115 [55]
Combine like terms:
n^3 + 20n^ + 10n^2
= n^3 + 30n^

Divide:
=n^3 + 30n^2/10n^2

Factor:
=n^2n + 30n^2
=n^(n + 30)
= 2^2(n + 30)/10n^2

Cancel the common factor n^2:
=n + 10/10

Chang is estimating the volume of his bathtub the actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal chang’s estimate is 31 gal find the abs
stepladder [879]
<h3>The absolute error is 6</h3><h3>The percent error is 16.22 %</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal

Estimate is 31 gal

<em><u>Find the absolute error</u></em>

Absolute Error = | Measured Value - Actual Value |

Absolute Error = | 31 - 37 |

Absolute Error = 6

<em><u>Find the percent error</u></em>

Percent\ error = \frac{\text{estimate - actual}}{actual} \times 100

Substituting we get,

percent\ error = \frac{31-37}{37} \times 100\\\\percent\ error = \frac{-6}{37} \times 100\\\\percent\ error = -16.22

Negative sign means percent decrease

Thus percent error is 16.22 %

What is the solution to the inequality 10x + 18 &lt; -2
solong [7]
<h3>Answer:  x < -2, choice B</h3>

===========================================

Work Shown:

10x + 18 < -2

10x + 18-18 < -2-18 ... subtract 18 from both sides

10x < -20

10x/10 < -20/10 ... divide both sides by 10

x < -2
