1 in 4 families now owes money on a

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]2 years ago
4 0

"a rise of a quarter from  last year" means the percentage went up by 25%

x = old value

x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x = new value = 0.25 since "1 in 4" means 1/4 = 0.25

So,

1.25x = 0.25

x = 0.25/1.25

x = 0.2

x = 2/10

x = 1/5

Answer:  The fraction of families that owed money is 1/5, or 1 in 5.

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

  (a)  There are asymptotes at x=3/2 and x=-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator zeros can be found by factoring:

  f(x) = (x +1)/((2x -3)(3x +1))

Neither of the denominator factors is cancelled by the numerator factor, so each represents a vertical asyptote, not a function hole.

The asymptotes are at the values of x where the denominator is zero:

  2x -3 = 0   ⇒   x = 3/2

  3x +1 = 0   ⇒   x = -1/3

5m + 11 = 16 + m or 16m

16m - 8 +m or 8m = 8m or 8 + m

(−2 − √3)(−2 + √3) simplified​
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this, we can use foil:

  • First: -2 × - 2 = 4
  • Outside: -2 × √3 = -2√3
  • Inside: -√3 × -2 = +2√3
  • Last: -√3 × √3 = -3

From this, we get 4 - 2√3 + 2√3 - 3 which can be simplified to 1

Hope this helps!
