Answer:

1.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 3% followed by a 6% increase:

Calculate each multiplier, and then multiply then:

Decrease 3%: 1 - (3)/100 = 0.97

Increase 6%: 1 + (6)/100 = 1.06

0.97*1.06 = 1.0282

The answer is 1.0282

Find the point at which the line joining the two points (-3,-5) and (7,5) cuts they y axis

8090 [49]

Answer:

(0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the equation of the line passes through $(-3,-5)$ and $(7,5)$ .

The slope of the line is

$m=\frac{5-(-5)}{7-(-3)}\\=\frac{10}{10}\\=1$

So by the point slope formula the equation of the line is

$y-5=1(x-7)\\y=x-7+5\\y=x-2$

When $x=0$ we have $y=0-2=-2$ .

Therefore the line joining the two points cuts the y-axis at (0,-2).

What is the quadratic formula of 4x2+3x+5=0

maxonik [38]

4x² + 3x + 5 = 0
x = -3 +/- √(3² - 4(4)(5))
 2(4)
x = -3 +/- √(9 - 80)
 8
x = -3 +/- √(-71)
 8
x = -3 +/- √(71 × (-1))
 8
x = -3 +/- √(71) × √(-1)
 8
x = -3 +/- 8.43i
 8
x = -0.375 +/- 1.05375i
x = -0.375 + 1.05375i x = -0.375 - 1.05375i
