A brand of cereal had 1.2 milligrams of iron per serving. Then they changed their recipe so they had 1.8 mg of iron per serving.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Using it's concept, it is found that the percent increase in the amount of iron per serving was of 50%.

<h3>What is the percentage increase of a value?</h3>

It is given by the increase divided by the initial value, and subtracted by 100%.

In this problem:

The initial value is of 1.2 mg.

The increase was of 1.8 mg - 1.2 mg = 0.6 mg.

Hence the percent increase is given by:

P = 0.6/1.2 x 100% = 50%.

Match the expression on the left with the correct simplified expression on the right.

andriy [413]

Given: The expression below

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{(3x^3y^4)^3}{(3x^2y^2)^2})^2 \\ (\frac{(3x^4y^2)^4}{(3x^5y^2)^3})^2 \end{gathered}$

To Determine: The matching expression to the given expressions

Solution

Let us simplify each of the expressions using exponents rule

$\begin{gathered} Exponent-Rule1=(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n} \\ Exponent-Rule2=(\frac{a^m}{a^n})=a^{m-n} \end{gathered}$

Applying the exponent rule 1 above to the given expressions

$\begin{gathered} (3x^3y^4)^3=3^3x^{3\times3}y^{4\times3}=27x^9y^{12} \\ (3x^2y^2)^2=3^2x^{2\times2}y^{2\times2}=9x^4y^4 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} (3x^4y^2)^4=3^4x^{4\times4}y^{2\times4}=81x^{16}y^8 \\ (3x^5y^2)^3=3^3x^{5\times3}y^{2\times3}=27x^{15}y^6 \end{gathered}$

Applying the exponent rule 2

$\frac{(3x^{3}y^{4})^{3}}{(3x^{2}y^{2})^{2}}=\frac{27x^9y^{12}}{9x^4y^4}=\frac{27}{9}x^{9-4}y^{12-4}=3x^5y^8$ $\frac{(3x^{4}y^{2})^{4}}{(3x^{5}y^{2})^{3}}=\frac{81x^{16}y^8}{27x^{15}y^6}=\frac{81}{27}x^{16-15}y^{8-6}=3xy^2$

Let us not apply exponent rule 1 above

$(\frac{(3x^{3}y^{4})^{3}}{(3x^{2}y^{2})^{2}})^2=(3x^5y^8)^2=3^2x^{5\times2}y^{8\times2}=9x^{10}y^{16}$ $(\frac{(3x^{4}y^{2})^{4}}{(3x^{5}y^{2})^{3}})^2=(3xy^2)^2=3^2x^2y^{2\times2}=9x^2y^4$

Hence, the matching is as shown below

What is the equation of the following line? (-3,1) and (0,0)

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the y-intercept is (0, 0), then y = mx + b becomes y = mx.

Seeing that y increases by 1, going from (-3, 1) to (0, 0), and that x increases by 3, we determine that the slope, m, is 1/3.

The equation of this line is therefore y = (1/3)x.
