Mathematics

Westkost [7]3 years ago

Answer:

47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to first subtract 80 and 42 to find the decrease first. This is 38. Now, you have to divide this by the original number which is 80. So 38 divided by 80 is 0.475.

Now multiply this by 100.

You can easily move the decimal point to the right.

So you would get 47.5%

Hope this helped!

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D. He multiplied the divisor by 100 and dividend by 10.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that Miguel completed the division where initially he had to divide 754 by 0.52.

To make it easier, he multiplied both the divisor and the dividend by the same number to get rid of the decimal in the divisor.

If he multiplied the divisor by 100, he should have multiplied the dividend by 100 too. But instead, he mistakenly multiplied the divisor by 100 and dividend by 10.

Given the factors, name the roots.<br> 3. f(x) = -3(2x – 5)(x + 2)
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

x = 5/2

or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the roots of a function f(x) are basically the values of x that will make f(x) = 0,

we find these values of x by making f(x) = 0 and then solving the equation for x,

in our case,

f(x) = -3(2x – 5)(x + 2)

to find roots,

f(x) = 0

-3(2x – 5)(x + 2) = 0

Equating each factor = 0, the equation can be broken down into:

-3 = 0 (obviously not valid, hence we can ignore this)

or

(2x – 5) = 0     add 5 to both sides

2x = 5              divide both sides by 2

x = 5/2   ( Answer)

or

(x + 2) = 0      subtract 2 from both sides

x = -2 (Answer)
