Decrease £28 by 7%? im stuck on my homework

Mathematics

Answer:

   £26.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The long way is to figure 7% of £28, then decrease that quantity by the amount you figured.

  0.07 ×  £28 =  £1.96

  £28 - 1.96 =  £26.04

__

I prefer to realize that the 100% of the value, decreased by 7%, will be 93% of the value. Then only one calculator operation is required.

  0.93 ×  £28 = £26.04

_____

<em>Comment on percent</em>

Some folks get confused by percents. "Percent" essentially means "per hundred". The symbol % is a shorthand way to write /100, which means exactly the same thing. That is, 7% = 7/100 = 0.07. (Similarly, ‰ is a shorthand way to write /1000.)

<em>Comment on percentage increase or decrease</em>

When you're talking about a quantity decreased by some amount, as "£28 decreased by £7",  you mean the value £7 is subtracted. When you say "decreased by 7%", the interpretation is different. We don't mean that £28 is decreased by 0.07 (to give £27.93); rather we mean £28 is decreased by 7% of £28. That is 7% of £28 is subtracted from £28.

If f(x)=square root 4x+9+2, which inequality can be used to find the domain of f(x)?
jenyasd209 [6]

we have

f(x)=\sqrt{4x+9} +2

we know that

The radicand must be greater than or equal to zero

so

4x+9 \geq0 \\ 4x\geq -9 \\x\geq -\frac{9}{4} \\ x\geq -2.25

the domain is is the interval--------> [-2.25,∞)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

4x+9 \geq0

The function f(x) = -5x2 + 13x + 6 represents the height, in meters, of a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiate the function and set it to zero:

f'(x) = -10x + 13

0 = -10x + 13

x = 1.3 seconds

Plug the x value into f(x):

f(1.3) = -5(1.3)^2 + 13(1.3) + 6 = 14.45 meters
