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%

Y = (x) = (1/16)^x<br> Find f(x) when x = (1/4)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/16)^x

Let x = 1/4

(1/16)^ 1/4

Rewriting 16 as 2^4

(1/2^4)^ 1/4

We know that 1 / a^b = a^-b

(2 ^ -4)^ 1/4

We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)

2^(-4*1/4)

2^-1

We know that  a^-b = 1/ a^b

2^-1 = 1/2^1 = 1/2

Jocelyn calculates that see will take 105 minutes to run 7 miles. She runs the distance in 84 minutes. What is Jillian’s percent
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

25%%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jocelyn calculates that see will take 105 minutes to run 7 miles. She runs the distance in 84 minutes.

To find: Jillian’s percent error

Solution:

Actual time taken by Jocelyn to run 7 miles = 84 minutes

Approximate time taken by Jocelyn to run 7 miles = 105 minutes

Error = |105-84|=21 minutes

Percent error = error/(Actual time taken) × (100) = \frac{21}{84}(100)=25\%

Simplify the expression to a polynomial in standard form: (x-1)(3x^2-5x-3) (x−1)(3x 2 −5x−3)
solmaris [256]

Answer: 3x^3 -8*x^2 + 8*x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a plolynomial is:

a*x^n + b*x^(n-1) + c*x^(n - 2) ........

We have:

(x-1)(3x^2-5x-3)

this is equal to:

3*x^3 - 5*x^2 + 3*x - 3*x^2 +5*x + 3

where the thing that i did is distribute the multiplication

this is equal to:

3x^3 -8*x^2 + 8*x + 3
