1/2 multiplied by 2 both denominator and the numerator of 1/2 then you get 2/4.
To calculate percentage increase, use the following method:
First, Work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.
Increase = New Number - Original Number
Now, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.
Also, If your answer is a negative number it is a percentage decrease.
To calculate percentage decrease, use this method:
First, Work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.
Decrease = Original Number - New Number
Then, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100
Also, If your answer is a negative number then it is a percentage increase.
<span>If you wish to calculate the percentage increase or decrease of several numbers then I recommend using the first formula. Positive values indicate a percentage increase whereas negative values indicate percentage decrease.</span>
The zeros of a quadratic equation are equal to the x-intercepts of its graph. In other words, you must find the x-value that causes the expression to equal zero. Start by adding 4 to both sides of the equation:
X² - 5x + 4 = 0
Factor the equation:
(x - 1)(x - 4) = 0
Now calculate each piece separately, starting with the first one:
x - 1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation:
x = 1
We have proven that x = 1. Now calculate the second piece:
x - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides of the equation:
x = 4
We have proven that x = 4. Consequently, we have proven that (x = 1) and (x = 4) are the two zeros of this quadratic equation.
I hope this helps!
