Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

What we can do is try it out.

20*0.6=12

since 0.6 is left

now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4

12*1.4= 16.8

See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.

The app uses 2^28 bytes.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given total storage used by the app = 4^4 Megabytes. Also, 1 MB = 2^20 bytes. Find total storage used by app in bytes.

⇒ 4^4 × 2^20 = (2²)^4 × 2^20 = 2^8 × 2^20

                       = 2^8+20

                       = 2^28 bytes (using the law of exponents a^m × a^n = a^m+n)

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,1) and has a slope of -1/5?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

x + 5y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = -1/5 x + b

1 = -1/5 (-5) + b

1 = 1 + b

b = 0

y = -1/5 x

5y = -x

x + 5y = 0
