Laura got a discount of 100 dollars on her purchase of a 5775 bed.What is the percent of decrease?

1 answer:

5 0

Remember that percent means parts out of 100
x/100

discount is the decrease
so we divide the decrease by the original total and get
100/5775=0.0173
convert to fraction
0.0173/1
make bottom number 100
multiply by 100/100
1.73/100=1.73%
round
2%

HELP PLEASE how do i put this into a piecewise function?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 functions start by making a domain

Function 1: -3≤x<1

Function 2: -1≤x≤1

Now come up with equations

Function 1= x+3

Function 2= 5

Now put it all together

f(x)= x+3 for -3≤x<1 and 5 for -1≤x≤1

For each pair figures, find the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second. 14mm 7mm

Paraphin [41]

The ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second figure is 4:1

<h3>Ratio of the areas of similar figures </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second figure

The two figures are similar

From one of the theorems for similar polygons, we have that

If the scale factor of the sides of two similar polygons is m/n then the ratio of the areas is (m/n)²

Let the base length of the first figure be ,m = 14 mm

and the base length of the second figure be, n = 7 mm

∴ The ratio of their areas will be

$(\frac{14 \ mm}{7 \ mm})^{2}$

$= \frac{196 \ mm^{2} }{49\ mm^{2} }$

$=\frac{4}{1}$

= 4:1

Hence, the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second figure is 4:1
