Answer:

The answer is 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

here, let another number be x.

according to the question the number when increased by 30% will be 78. so,

x+ 30% of x =78

now, x+ 30/100×x =78

or, x+0.3x=78

or, 1.3x=78

Therefore the another number is 60.

Hope it helps...

Denzel has 3 2/5 boxes of party favors. One full box contains 15 bags of favors and each bag has 3 favors in it. Which expressio

Artist 52 [7]

Boxes = 3_2/5

15 = total number of bags of favors

Each bag has 3 items inside

3 × 15 = 45

Total number of items = number of boxes plus (15 × 3).

So, choice A is the answer.

Let f(x) = x2 − 2x − 3. The secant line through (2, f(2)) and (2 + h, f(2 + h)) for f(x) has slope h + 2. Use this formula to co

Mkey [24]

Answer:

a) slope of secant line = 3

b) slope of tangent line = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The function:

f(x) = x^2 -2*x - 3

- The slope for f(x) @ x = 2 is:

slope = h + 2

Find:

a) The slope of the secant line through (2, f(2)) and (3, f(3))

b) The slope of the tangent line at x = 2

Solution:

- Since we are given the slope of the line computed via secant method. All we need to do is evaluate the slope given for respective question.

- The slope of secant line between points ( 2 , f(2) ) and ( 3 , f(3) ) is:

slope = h + 2

Where, h is the step size between two points. h = 3 - 2 = 1

slope = 1 + 2 = 3

Hence, the slope of the secant is 3.

- The slope of tangent line @ points ( 2 , f(2) ) is:

slope = Lim _ h-->0 (h + 2)

Where, h step size is reduced to infinitesimal small number. Hence, h = 0

slope = 0 + 2 = 2

Hence, the slope of the tangent is 2.

Roberto has a sample of an unknown liquid. The label in the bottle of the sample indicates that the liquid has a mass of 117 gra

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

It is Milk

Step-by-step explanation:

The liquid in the bottle has mass given in grams and the mass of that substance is 117 grams.

The volume of the substance is 15 cubic centimeters.

Now, using the formula of density we can estimate which substance could it be.

$d=\frac{m}{v}$ , where 'd', is the density, 'm' is the mass, and 'v' is the volume of the substance.

Plugging the value of mass and volume we get:

$d=\frac{117}{15} =7.8g/cm^3$

So the density of the substance is 7.8 grams per cubic centimeter.

It cannot be water since the density of water is 1 grams per cubic centimeter.

It cannot be gasoline because its density is 0.77 grams per cubic centimeter.

It cannot be mercury because the density of mercury is 13.56 grams per cubic centimeter.

Since, the density in this case matches the density of thick milk and hence,therefore, the liquid in the bottle is milk.
