Answer:

18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase = $\frac{increase}{original cost}$ × 100%

Increase in cost = $38 - $32 = $6

percent increase = $\frac{6}{32}$ × 100% = $\frac{6(100)}{32}$ = 18.75%

Set up an equation and solve the following problem.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Dave = d = 210 miles

The time taken by Dave = t hour

The speed of Dave = s miph

Again

The distance cover by Kent = D = 230 miles

The time taken by Kent = T hour

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

For Dave

Time = $\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}$

So, t = $\dfrac{\textrm d miles}{\textrm s miph}$

Or, t = $\dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}$

For Kent

Time = $\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}$

So, T = $\dfrac{\textrm D miles}{\textrm S miph}$

Or, T = $\dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}$

∵ Time taken by both is same

So, t = T

Or, $\dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}$ = $\dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}$

Or, 210 × (s + 4) = 230 × s

Or, 210 × s + 210 × 4 = 230 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 230 × s -210 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 20 × s

∴ s = $\dfrac{840}{20}$

i.e s = 42 miph

So, The speed of Dave = s = 42 miles per hour

Again

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

i.e S = 42 + 4

or, S = 46 miph

So, The speed of Kent = S = 46 miles per hour

Hence,The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

And The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour . Answer

Find y'' if y= 9csc x

sineoko [7]

Answer:

y" = csc(x)[9cot²(x) - csc²(x)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 9csc(x)

Step 2: Find 1st derivative

y' = -9csc(x)cot(x)

Step 3: Find 2nd derivative

y" = 9csc(x)cot(x)cot(x) + -csc(x)csc²(x)

y" = 9csc(x)cot²(x) - csc³(x)

y" = csc(x)[9cot²(x) - csc²(x)]

Carrie is searching online for airline tickets to weeks ago the cost to fly from Hartford to Boston was 210 now the cost is $350

padilas [110]

Answer:

So first of all the formula is

New-old/old

Or rate of change/ original

SO th new is 350

THe old is 210

350-210=140

140/350 which is old is 2/5

2/5 is 40 percent

So 40 percent increase
