Answer:
Increased.
Step-by-step explanation:
In March 2007, the unemployment rate was 4.4 percent. In August 2008 was 6.1 percent. We need to remember that the unemployment rate equals the number of unemployed people divided by the people in the labor force.
Now, if we consider that the labor force remained constant during this period of time (according to the problem) then this would mean that the number of unemployed people actually increased during this period of 17 months.
Answer:
a) The estimates for the solutions of 
are 
and 
.
b) The estimates for the solutions of 
are 
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
From image we get a graphical representation of the second-order polynomial 
, where 
is related to the horizontal axis of the Cartesian plane, whereas 
is related to the vertical axis of this plane. Now we proceed to estimate the solutions for each case:
a)
There are two approximate solutions according to the graph, which are marked by red circles in the image attached below:
,
b)
There are two approximate solutions according to the graph, which are marked by red circles in the image attached below:
,
Since you didn't provide instructions, I am going to assune you are being asked to solve for x. To do this, just distribute and simplify.
2(4x-11)=10
Distribute the 2 to the expression (4x-11)
8x-22=10
Add 22 on both sides
8x=32
Divide by 8 on both sides
x=4
~I hope this helps!~
32 is the whole 12.16 is 12 percent of 32
