Answer:

   33 1/3 percent smaller

Step-by-step explanation:


The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.

a = b + b*.5

a = b(1.5)

Divide by 1.5

a/1.5 = b

2/3a =b



We want to find (a-b)/a  to find the percent decrease

                           (a-2/3a)/a *100percent

                             (1/3a)/a* 100 percent

                                  1/3 * 100 percent

                                     33 1/3 percent smaller

Please help asap! really important!!
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

4th graph

6th graph

3rd graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear = y = x + 3

it is 4th graph

when you substitute x = 0 y is 3

and when y = 0 x is -3

Quadratic = y = 3x^2

It is 6th graph

for both positive and negative values of x, y is rapidly increasing

Exponential = y = 3^x

it is 3rd graph

for x = 0 y value is 1 because 3^0 = 1

for positive values of x, y is exponentially rising

for negative values of x it is nearly almost touches zero

Will Mark Brainlest help pleaseeeeee​
Masja [62]

Answer:

h(2) = 7/4

h(-3) = -2

h(-2) = 11/(-8)

h(-3) - h(-2) = -(5/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = (2x^2-x+1) / (3x-2)

h(2) = (2*2^2 - 2 + 1) / (3*2 - 2)

       = (8 - 2 + 1) / (6 - 2)

       = 7/4

h(-3) = {2*(-3)^2 - (-3) + 1} / {3*(-3) - 2}

        = (18 + 3 + 1) / (-9 - 2)

        = 22/(-11)

        = -2

h(-2) = {2*(-2)^2 - (-2) + 1} / {3*(-2) - 2}

        = (8 + 2 + 1) / (-6 - 2)

        = 11/(-8)

h(-3) - h(-2) = (-2) - {11/(-8)}

                  = -(5/8)

Hope this will help. Please give me brainliest.

What is the solution to -3/4 x + 2 ≤ -7 ?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

x ≥ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: subtract 2 from both sides

Now you have; -3/4 x ≤ -9

Step 2: divide both sides by -3/4

Now you have x ≥ 12

(when dividing an inequality by a negative you have to flip the sign)

Therefore the answer is x ≥ 12
