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

The Reunion Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Dallas, Texas due to the giant sphere that sits atop the structur

ValentinkaMS [17]

The volume of a sphere uses the following formula:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

Because the question asks to use 3.14 in place of pi, the formula will now look like this:

$V = (\frac{4}{3})(3.14)r^{3} = 4.18\overline{66} r^{3}$

We are given a diameter of 118 feet. The radius is half of the diameter, so divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius:

$118 \div 2 = 59$
$r = 59$

Plug this value into the formula, and solve with a calculator:

$4.18\overline{66} \times 59^3 = 4.18\overline{66} \times 205379 = 859853.413$

Although our result is one cubic foot off, the answer is <span>A. 859,852ft^3.

(859,852 is the result if the constant in the given formula is 4.18666, but the result with infinitely repeating numbers is 859,853.)</span>

Midpoint of (16,5) and (-6,-9)?

Zigmanuir [339]

To solve this problem, we need to use the midpoint formula, where M = (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2). To solve, we must plug in the given (x,y) values from our ordered pairs and then simplify, shown below:

(x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)

( (16 + -6)/2, (5 + -9)/2 )

Now, we can begin to simplify by computing the addition in the numerators of both fractions.

(10/2, -4/2)

Next, we can finish the simplification process by dividing these fractions.

(5, -2)

Therefore, the midpoint of (16,5) and (-6,-9) is (5,-2).

Hope this helps!

-4(-3x - 8) - 4x + 8 = -8x + 40

Andrew [12]

First we expand and combine the terms on the left side. This gives us

12x + 32 -4x + 8 = -8x + 40

8x + 40 = -8x + 40. Because the two sides cancel each other out when you try and bring all the x to one side, the answer is x = 0.
