Assuming the last weeks price is 100 then it decrease by 2% So the price is 100 ( 1 – 0.02) = 98 Then it increase again by 1% so the price would be 98 ( 1 + 0.01) = 98.98 <span>So it is ( 98.98/ 100) x 100 = 98.98 % of the price before it change</span>

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)
IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3

Please help me with this geometry problem
Natalka [10]
You're looking for the volume of the prism.  The dead giveaway there is that you're looking for "cubic" measurement.  Cubic measures are indicators that the volume is being determined, just like "square feet" or inches, etc indicates area is being determined.  The volume for this prism is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height.  In decimal form, 45×30×40=54,000.  But that is in cubic inches and we want cubic feet.  So we will use dimensional analysis to convert that.  Setting up the DA looks like this, keeping in mind that there are 12 cubic inches in 1 cubic foot:  54,000in^3* \frac{1ft*1ft*1ft}{12in*12in*12in}.  The label of cubic inches cancels out leaving us with cubic feet, and doing the division there gives us 54,000/(12*12*12) which is 31.25 cubic feet.

Find c. Round to the nearest tenth
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

c = <u>0.5 cm</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule in the triangle, then

=  ( cross- multiply )

c × sin105° = 2 × sin15° ( divide both sides by sin105°

c =  ≈ 0.5 cm ( to the nearest tenth )
