Answer: 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

The price of an item yesterday multiplied by the increase is equal to today's price:

135 x = 216

x =216/135

X=1.6

The percent increase is 60%.

Because:

1.6 = 1+ 0.6 (where 1 is the original price and 0.6 is the increase in decimal form)

0.6 x 100 = 60%

So first subtract 216 from 135 this would give you $81. then divide 81 from 135 this will give you 0.6 time 100 which equals 60%.

Equation = 216-135=$81
=81/135= 0.6
0.6 times 100= 60%

12.) This does not follow the rule of conservation because on the reactant side there is one Na and two Cl while the product side only has one Na and Cl. They are not equal and do not have the same number of atoms for the different elements. In the law of conservation matter cannot be created or destroyed and this does not follow the law.

13.) 2Na + Cl2 —> 2NaCl

Put a 2 in front of Na and a 2 in front of NaCl

Ok, so the question is based on geometric progression. Remember, the formula for calculating the nth-term of a geometric progression is: $a*r^{n-1}$ . The a in the expression stands for the 1st term of the sequence, and r is the common ratio of the elements of the sequence. Now let's take a look at the problem.

"A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ration". We can infer that our common ratio, r, is 75% which is 0.75.

"When you drop it from a height of k feet...", this means the first height you drop it from, a.k.a, the first term.

Now going back to the expression, the nth-term = $a*r^{n-1}$ , we can substitute our common ration, 0.75 with r, and our 1st term, k, with a. This becomes: $k * 0.75^{n-1}$ . This becomes our expression.

a. The highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces. Our nth-term here is 6, so let's use our expression to find the 6th term. $n_{6} = 235 * 0.75^{6-1} = 235*0.75^{5} = 235*0.2373 = 55.7655ft$

b. The total distance travelled by the ball when it strikes the ground for the 12th time. This involves the use of the sum of elements in the geometric progression. The formula for that is $\frac{a(1 - r^{n})}{1-r}$ , provided that r is less than 1, which it is in this case, since 0.75 is less than one. Our nth-term here is 12, so we substitute.

$\frac{235(1-0.75^{12})}{(1-0.75)} = 910.2242ft$

The equation of line AB is y 5x+ 1. Write an equation of a line paraliei to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The equation would be y = 5x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation to this line, we first have to note that parallel lines have the same slope. Since the original line has a slope of 5, we know that the new line will also have that slope. Then we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form and solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 5(x - 4)

y - 5 = 5x - 20

y = 5x - 15
