If a mat costs 9800kr, what combination of two reductions in it's price, which have to add up to 100%, e.g: The price was first

reduced by 40% and then 60%, will yield the cheapest price for the mat?

Step-by-step explanation:

if a mat was 9800kr and the price was reduced by about 40% it would be 245 whereas another 60 would end up 980 itself so I'm not too sure as the cheapest alternative would be 40%

What two numbers multiply to 44 and add up to 12?
djverab [1.8K]
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.

let the two numbers be x and y.

Multiply to 44.      x*y = 44 ..........(a)

Add up to 12.      x + y = 12 .........(b)

From (b)

y = 12 - x .......(c)

Substitute (c) into (a)

x*y = 44

x*(12 - x) = 44   

12x - x² = 44

-x² + 12x = 44

-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.       

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0

x² - 12x + 44 = 0.   

This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula

comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0,  a = 1, b = -12, c = 44 

x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a   or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a


x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)    

x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2

√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2

Where i is a complex number.  Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.

x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2      or     (12 - √-32 )/ 2   

x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2              (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2 

x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2                12/2 - (4i√2)/2

x = 6 + 2i√2            or         6 - 2i√2

Recall equation (c):

y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2

When x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2


x = 6 + 2i√2,  y = 6 - 2i√2

x = 6 - 2i√2,  y = 6 + 2i√2

Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:

6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2

const2013 [10]

Divide all the ratios and compare:

8/12 = 0.666

15/10 = 1.5

2/3 = 0.666

6/9 = 0.666

The one that isn't equivalent is 15 over 10

What’s the correct answer for this?
sammy [17]

Answer:

(0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2:4 means one part is 2/(2+4)=1/3 of AB and the other part is 2/3 of AB

Add 1/3 of the distance from -2 to 4. (1/3)(4+2)=2. -2+2=0 The x coordinate is 0

Subtract 1/3 of the distance from 6 to -6, (1/3)6+6)=4 6-4=2 The y coordinate is 2

The point is (0,2)
