Tell why sometimes you write the percent as a fraction and other times as a decimal when you find the percent of a number.

A percentage is a portion out of 100, and because it is a portion of a whole it can be written as a fraction of an amount (in this case a fraction of 100). You can also rewrite this as a decimal because a fraction is essentially the same thing as a division problem and when you divide a number by 100 you usually get a decimal (if the numerator is smaller than 100 that is), and also because decimals are similar to fractions because they represent parts a whole unit for instance the percentage 72% is equivalent to the fraction 72/100 which is the same as 72 divided by 100 which is the same as the decimal 0.72.

Sorry for the long explanation but I hope this helped!

I need help solving this problem. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%20cos%20%5E%7B-1%7D%20%282x%2B4%29-%20%5Csqrt%7B3-3%20x%5

Given:
$f(x)=4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)-\sqrt{3-3x^2}$

Using
$\frac{d}{dx}cos^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$
we derive
$\frac{d}{dx}4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)$
$=4cos^{-1}(2x+4)-\frac{8x}{\sqrt{1-(2x+4)^2}}$

Similarly, using
$\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{x}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$
we derive
$\frac{d}{dx}(-\sqrt{3-3x^2})$
$=\frac{3x}{\sqrt{3-3x^2}}$

Therefore, the derivative is
$f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(4xcos^{-1}(2x+4)-\sqrt{3-3x^2})$
$=4cos^{-1}(2x+4)-\frac{8x}{\sqrt{1-(2x+4)^2}}+\frac{3x}{\sqrt{3-3x^2}}$

Emily is mowing her lawn which is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 10 feet and width of 12 feet. Emily completed mow

docker41 [41]

So what you do first is find the area of this lawn and you do 10 by 12 and multiply those and you get 120 feet so now what you do is divived 120 by 3 and you get 40 so that means she mowed 40 ft in each hour so that would be the unit rate.
