To find percentage decrease, we need to see how "much" of 120 was taken off.

So, let's call the percentage x (the percentage in decimal form).

120 * x = 78

so,

78/120 = x

.65 = x

So, our percentage in decimal form is .65, to get it to an actual percentage, we multiply it by 100 (since a percentage is out of 100)

The percentage decrease is 65%

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = 15 when x = 3. What is y when x = 12?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

y = 60 when x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is

y = kx

15 = k3

Divide by 3

15/3 = k

5 =k

y = 5x

Let x = 12

y = 5*12

y = 60

What is the domain of the function f(x) =x+1/<br> X^2-6x+8?

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The domain of the function is all real values of x, except $x = 4$ and $x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

$f(x) = \frac{x+1}{x^2-6x+8}$

It's a fraction, so the domain is all the real values except those in which the denominator is 0.

Denominator:

Quadratic equation with $a = 1, b = -6, c = 8$

Using bhaskara, the denominator is 0 for these following values of x:

$\Delta = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(8) = 36-32 = 4$

$x_{1} = \frac{-(-6) + \sqrt{4}}{2} = 4$

$x_{2} = \frac{-(-6) - \sqrt{4}}{2} = 2$

The domain of the function is all real values of x, except $x = 4$ and $x = 2$
