5 1/4% of what number is 12.6?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago
6 0

bearing in mind that 5¼ is just 5.25 converted to decimal.

let's say the number is "x", thus "x" is the 100%.

12.6 is 5.25%, what is the 100%? namely "x"?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.6&5.25 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.6}=\cfrac{100}{5.25}\implies 5.25x=1260 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1260}{5.25}\implies x=240

The curve with equation y=ax^2+bx has a gradient of 3 at the point (2,-2). Find the values of a and b.
Airida [17]

Answer:

a = 2, b = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = ax² + bx

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope at x = a

Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx}(ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b, hence

2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)

Substitute x = 2 into \frac{dy}{dx}

4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y

4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)

Subtract ( 1) from (2)

b = - 2 - 3 = - 5

Substitute b = - 5 into (1)

4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2
