Answer:

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

write out an equation that represents the problem. the original price X fell by 15% to a new price of 1700:

X - (X*15%) = 1700

X(1-0.15) =1700

X=1700/(1-0.15)

X=2,000

convert 15% to decimal form:

15%=0.15

Answer:

10 sides (decagon)

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the perimeter by adding up all the sides of a shape.

side + side + side + side... = perimeter

You know that <em>each</em> side is 4/5 centimeters. You also know that the perimeter is 8 centimeters.

<u>You can set up an equation like this:</u>

4/5 * number of sides = 8

<em>or you can write it in a simpler form as:</em>

4/5x=8

<u>Now solve it like a normal equation:</u>

5 * (4/5x) = (8) * 5

(4x) / 4=(40) / 4

x = 10

So, you know the shape has 10 sides that are 4/5 centimeters each.

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-5,5) and a directix of y = -1
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = | y + 1 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 5)² + (y - 5)² = (y + 1)^2 , that is

(y + 1)² = (x + 5)² + (y - 5)² ← subtract (y - 5)² from both sides

(y + 1)² - (y - 5)² = (x + 5)² ← expand left side and simplify

y² + 2y + 1 - y² + 10y - 25 = (x + 5)²

12y - 24 = (x + 5)² ← factor left side

12(y - 2) = (x + 5)² ← divide both sides by 12

y - 2 = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² ← add 2 to both sides

y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2

or

f(x) = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2 → D

The solution for the following system of equations is shown on the graph. What is the solution?
Bingel [31]

The solution is (3 , 4) ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations can be solved by:

  • Elimination method
  • Substitution method

The system of equations is:

y = 3 x - 5 ⇒ (1)

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 3 ⇒ (2)

By using the substitution method substitute y in equation (2) by equation (1)

3 x - 5 =  \frac{1}{3} x + 3

Subtract  \frac{1}{3} x from both sides

\frac{8}{3} x = 8

Divide both sides by \frac{8}{3}

x = 3

substitute x by 3 in equation (1)

y = 3(3) - 5

y = 9 - 5

y = 4

The solution is (3 , 4)
