A bookcase costs $93.11 when the CPI is 191. What is the CPI when a bookcase costs $76.05?

The value of the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is calculated by dividing first the current period price by the base period price and multiply the quotient by 100. Using the first set of values, we get base period price.
CPI = (current period price / base period price) x 100
191 = (93.11 / base period price) x 100
base period price = 48.75

Then, using this base period price and the second current period price, we solve for the second CPI
CPI = (76.05 / 48.75) x 100
<em>CPI = 156
</em>Therefore, the answer to this item is letter C. <em>

The old city park is rectangular. It has a length of 350 meters. It has a width of 125 meters. What is the perimeter, in meters,

Natali5045456 [20]

(350x2=700) + (125x2=250) 700+250=950 so the perimeter is 950 meters long I hope this helps!

The radius of a cone is decreasing at a constant rate of 7 inches per second, and the volume is decreasing at a rate of 948 cubi

inessss [21]

Answer:

The height of cone is decreasing at a rate of 0.085131 inch per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The radius of a cone is decreasing at a constant rate.

$\displaystyle\frac{dr}{dt} = -7\text{ inch per second}$

The volume is decreasing at a constant rate.

$\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = -948\text{ cubic inch per second}$

Instant radius = 99 inch

Instant Volume = 525 cubic inches

We have to find the rate of change of height with respect to time.

Volume of cone =

$V = \displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

Instant volume =

$525 = \displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (99)^2h\\\\\text{Instant heigth} = h = \frac{525\times 3}{\pi(99)^2}$

Differentiating with respect to t,

$\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \bigg(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h + r^2\frac{dh}{dt}\bigg)$

Putting all the values, we get,

$\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \bigg(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h + r^2\frac{dh}{dt}\bigg)\\\\-948 = \frac{1}{3}\pi\bigg(2(99)(-7)(\frac{525\times 3}{\pi(99)^2}) + (99)(99)\frac{dh}{dt}\bigg)\\\\\frac{-948\times 3}{\pi} + \frac{2\times 7\times 525\times 3}{99\times \pi} = (99)^2\frac{dh}{dt}\\\\\frac{1}{(99)^2}\bigg(\frac{-948\times 3}{\pi} + \frac{2\times 7\times 525\times 3}{99\times \pi}\bigg) = \frac{dh}{dt}\\\\\frac{dh}{dt} = -0.085131$

Thus, the height of cone is decreasing at a rate of 0.085131 inch per second.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Setler [38]

Piecewise Function is like multiple functions with a speific/given domain in one set, or three in one for easier understanding, perhaps.

To evaluate the function, we have to check which value to evalue and which domain is fit or perfect for the three functions.

Since we want to evaluate x = -8 and x = 4. That means x^2 cannot be used because the given domain is less than -8 and 4. For the cube root of x, the domain is given from -8 to 1. That meand we can substitute x = -8 in the cube root function because the cube root contains -8 in domain but can't substitute x = 4 in since it doesn't contain 4 in domain.

Last is the constant function where x ≥ 1. We can substitute x = 4 because it is contained in domain.

Therefore:

$\large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = \sqrt[3]{ - 8} \\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}}$

The nth root of a can contain negative number only if n is an odd number.

$\large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = \sqrt[3]{ - 2 \times - 2 \times - 2} \\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}} \\ \large{ \begin{cases} f( - 8 ) = - 2\\ f(4) = 3 \end{cases}}$

Answer

f(-8) = -2
f(4) = 3
