A 60 percent increase followed by a 40 percent decrease

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lera25 [3.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

This winds up being a 4% decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

For an example, we will take an object that costs $100. If we mark it up by 60%, the new cost will be $160.

Now we want to take the cost of $160, and subtract 40%. First we need to find 40% of $160. We can do that by multiplying them together.

$160*40% = $64

Now we will subtract that from the cost of the item after the increase.

$160 - $64 = $96.

Even though the percent decrease was less, the order in which we do it causes this to be an overall decrease

Determine whether the set of vectors <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20v_%7B1%3D%283%2C2%2C1%29%2C%20v_%7B2%7D%20%3D%28-1%2C-

Since each vector is a member of \mathbb R^3, the vectors will span \mathbb R^3 if they form a basis for \mathbb R^3, which requires that they be linearly independent of one another.

To show this, you have to establish that the only linear combination of the three vectors c_1\mathbf v_1+c_2\mathbf v_2+c_3\mathbf v_3 that gives the zero vector \mathbf0 occurs for scalars c_1=c_2=c_3=0.

c_1\begin{bmatrix}3\\2\\1\end{bmatrix}+c_2\begin{bmatrix}-1\\-2\\-4\end{bmatrix}+c_3\begin{bmatrix}1\\1\\-1\end{bmatrix}=(0,0,0)\iff\begin{bmatrix}3&-1&1\\2&-2&1\\1&-4&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}c_1\\c_2\\c_3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\0\end{bmatrix}

Solving this, you'll find that c_1=c_2=c_3=0, so the vectors are indeed linearly independent, thus forming a basis for \mathbb R^3 and therefore they must span \mathbb R^3.

Given line L = ax + by + c = 0, b(its suppose to be the equal sign with the slash going thru it) 0
Serga [27]
<span>ax + by + c = 0
by = - ax - c
  y = -a/b (x) - c/b

so slope = </span>-a/b

answer
-a/b

The random nature of the process is why Gina doesn't get the theoretical probability. If she were to repeat this experiment say 1000 or perhaps 10,000 times, then her experimental probability value should get closer to 1/2. It likely won't land *exactly* on 1/2 because again of the random nature of the outcomes.
