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%

Which is the minimum or maximum value of the given function? a. The function has a minimum value of -2 b. The function has a min
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The function f(x) is not given, I used a different function but the approach and steps is the same .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given the function f(x) = 2x2 - 8x + 5

compare with the normal quadratic equation ; ax2 + bx + c = f(x)

  • a = 2, b = -8 and c = +5
  • since a is greater than zero i.e a > o {positive}

As such, it has a minimum

hence for minimum value; x = -b/2a

x = -(-8)/2 x 2

x = 8/4 = 2

plugging the values of x in f(x) ; f(2) = 2(2)^2 -8(2) + 5

f(2) = -3, hence it has minimum value and the minimum value is -3

jacks car used 18 gallons of gasoline to go 468 miles. At that rate, how many gallons would be used to go 754 miles? Explain you
matrenka [14]
Well if you take 468 and divide it by 18 you get 26 that 26mpg take 754 divide it by 26 and you get 29 and that's how many gallons he used

What are the possible values of x for the following functions? f(x)=2-x/x(x-1)
nevsk [136]

The possible values of x for the following functions are values on real number except 0 and 1

<h3>Domain of a function</h3>

The domain of a function are the values of the independent variable for which it exists.

Given the function below

f(x)=2-x/x(x-1)

The function does not exist at the. point where the denominator is zero. From the function given, the function does not exist when;

x(x -1) = 0

x = 0 and x = 1

Hence the possible values of x for the following functions are values on real number except 0 and 1

In science class, the average score on a lab report is 82 points, with all students scoring within 3.2 points of the average. If
nirvana33 [79]

An equation that represents the minimum and maximum scores is; |x - 82| = 3.2.

<h3>How to write an absolute value equation?</h3>

The absolute value function is defined by:

f(x) = x, x ≥ 0.

f(x) = x, x < 0.

It measures the distance of a point x to the origin.

For this problem, the distance between the minimum and the maximum scores and the mean is of 3.2, that is, the difference between these scores x and the mean of 82 is of 3.2, hence the absolute value equation that represents this situation is given by:

|x - 82| = 3.2.
