D.) <span>A picnic table is on sale for 40 percent off. The original price of the picnic table is x, $144.10
It is on sale for 40% so, new amount will be 60%, and x is the sale price, so in order to calculate original price, you have to multiply them
Hope this helps!</span>
(a) Using the completing the square method, we need to write into the form of where , so
Expand to find the value of c
Notice that we get back the first two terms, the and the .We need to get rid of the last term of '9' as the term was not in the original form. The final form will look like
Hence,
(b)
(c) , square root both sides plus and minus of 2 Hence
5/8 is the lowest fraction. It can not be simplified anymore
We can create a equation to find out.
since we are finding a number where when multiplied by 1.25(this is the decimal form of the percentage) gives us 25, we know that the number we are finding is less than 25. here is the equation.
1.25(x)=25
divide both sides by 1.25 to get "x" alone.
x= 20
Answer:
b = -125/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1 + log5 ( -9b) = 4
Subtract 1 from each side
1 -1+ log5 ( -9b) = 4-1
log5 ( -9b) = 3
Raise each side to the base 5
5^ log5 ( -9b) = 5^3
This will cancel the log5
-9b = 125
Divide each side by 9
-9b/-9 = 125/-9
b = -125/9
