So.. 2.86 - 2.79 is the amount in decrease or 0.07

so.. if we take 2.86 as the 100%, how much is 0.07 of that in percentage?

well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
2.86&100\\
0.07&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.86}{0.07}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

(4x + 4)(ax – 1) – x2 +4
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

b=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression simplifies to bx that means the x^{2} terms and the constant terms must be cancel out.

Simplify it first.

(4x+4)(ax-1)-x^{2} +4\\=(4ax^{2} -4x+4ax-4)-x^{2} +4\\=4ax^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4ax-4+4\\=4ax^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4ax

We know –4 + 4 will cancel out. If we simplify this expression to only an x term, then the x^{2} terms should be cancelled. Therefore, we say that 4ax^2 – x^2 = 0.

4ax^{2} -x^{2} =0\\x^{2} (4a-1)=0\\4a-1=0\\4a=1\\a=\frac{1}{4}

If we put a = ¼, then we can find the value of b:

=4(\frac{1}{4} )x^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4(\frac{1}{4} )x\\=x^{2} -x^{2} -4x+x\\ (cancel out x^{2} terms)\\

=-3x

bx=-3x\\      if the  expression is equivalent to bx

Therefore, b = –3.

The lines y1 = 2x - 6, y2 = -3x + 4, y3 = -1/2x + 4 are the sides of a right triangle. Find the perimeter and area of the triang
sergiy2304 [10]

The area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

<h3>Perimeter and area of the triangle giving the equation of a line</h3>

First we will plot the giving lines, determine the point of intersection and then use the Pythagoras theorem to determine the dimension of the right triangle.

From the given equation of the lines, the points of intersection of the line are (x₁, y₁) = (- 0.4, 5.2), (x₂, y₂) = (-0.8, 4.4) and (x₃, y₃) = (0, 4)

For the base

b² = c² -a²

b = √(-0.8)² + (4 - 4.4)²

b = 2√5 / 5

For the height

h = √((- 0.4) - (- 0.8))² + (5.2 - 4.4)²

height = 2√5 / 5

For the hypotenuse

r = √2 · b

r = 2√10 / 5

<h3>Determine the Perimeter and area</h3>

Perimeter = s1+s2+s3

Perimeter = 2√5 / 5 + 2√5 / 5 + 2√10 / 5

Perimeter = (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

<u>For the area</u>

area = 1/2* base * height

A = 0.5 · (2√5 / 5) · (2√5 / 5)

A = 2/5 square units

Hence the area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

The problem is in the picture.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

  • an = 5 + 10(n -1)
  • a7 = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

  an = a1 + d(n -1)

where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

The sequence of seat counts has a1=5 and d=10, so the explicit formula is ...

  an = 5 +10(n -1)

___

The 7th term is ...

  a7 = 5 +10(7 -1) = 65
