Answer: 1250
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost before vat
13/100x = 162.50
x = 162.50 x 100/13
x = 162.50 / 2.13
x = 1250
Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 9 ft and 12 ft long (see the picture).
To solve for the length of the ladder, use the Pythagorean Theorem.

One Answer: Choice C) 0 < x < 1
==================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices one at a time.
- Choice A represents an increasing interval since the graph goes uphill as we move from left to right. The line through the points (-2, f(-2)) and (-1.5, f(-1.5)) has a positive slope. We can rule out choice A.
- Choice B is a similar story to choice A. The graph goes uphill when we move from x = -1 to x = 0, so the graph is increasing on the interval -1 < x < 0. We can rule out choice B.
- In contrast, choice C is a decreasing interval. Going from x = 0 to x = 1 has us move downhill. Choice C is the only answer.
- Choice D is false because choice C was shown to be true.
The answer would be 4.6 (repeating).
