Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.

  • bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
  • after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y

Use substitution method to solve:

5(R - 836) = R

5R - 4180 = R   <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>

4R - 4180 = 0   <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>

4R = 4180         <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>

R = 1045         <em>divided both sides by 4</em>

Let e f (x) = x2 – 2x - 4 What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function from X = -1 tox to x = 42 Enter your ans
sammy [17]

Answer:

The average rate of change of the given function

A(x) =  1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given function f(x) = x² - 2x -4

And given that x = a = -1 and  x=b = 4

The average rate of change of the given function

A(x) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

f(x) = x² - 2x -4

f(-1) = (-1)² - 2(-1) -4 = 1+2-4 = -1

f(4) = 4² -2(4) -4 = 16 -12 = 4

The average rate of change of the given function

A(x) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

A(x) = \frac{4-(-1)}{4-(-1)} = \frac{5}{5} = 1

<u><em>final answer:-</em></u>

The average rate of change of the given function

A(x) =  1

Billy received a raise after his first year on the job to $45,000 from his initial salary of $42,400. What was his real raise st
solong [7]

Billy get 5.9% raise after completing first year.

<h3>What is PERCENTAGE?</h3>

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by 100.

Here, Billy's initial salary = $ 42,500

After raise, salary become $ 45,000

Change in salary = Raised salary - Initial salary

                            = 45000 - 42500

                            = $ 2500

% Change = change / initial salary  X 100

                  = 2500 / 42500 X 100

                  = 0.0589 X 100

                  ≈ 5.9 %

Thus, Billy get 5.9% raise after completing first year.
