Answer:

The percentage of discount is 31.0 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original price = $ 24,365

Selling price = $ 16,820

Thus,

$\text{The percentage of discount}=\frac{\text{Original-Selling price}}{\text{Original price}}\times 100$

$=\frac{24365-16820}{24365}\times 100$

$==\frac{7545}{24365}\times 100$

$=\frac{754500}{24365}$

$=30.9665503796\%$

$\approx 31.0\%$

H function is even, odd, or neither. b. g(x) = x² - 2 Is it odd or even

o-na [289]

$g(x) = x^2 - 2 \text{ is even function }$

Solution:

Given that,

$g(x) = x^2 - 2$

We have to find whether the above function is odd or even

If a function is: y = f(x)

If f(-x) = f(x), the function is even

If f(-x) = - f(x), the function is odd

Which is,

$\mathrm{Even\:Function:\:\:A\:function\:is\:even\:if\:}f\left(-x\right)=f\left(x\right)\mathrm{\:for\:all\:}x\in \mathbb{R}\\\\\mathrm{Odd\:Function:\:\:A\:function\:is\:odd\:if\:}f\left(-x\right)=-f\left(x\right)\mathrm{\:for\:all\:}x\in \mathbb{R}$

From given,

$g(x) = x^2 - 2$

Replace x with -x

$g(-x) = (-x)^2 - 2\\\\g(-x) = x^2 - 2$

Therefore,

$g(x) = g(-x)$

Thus the function g(x) is even

Find the common ratio for the geometric sequence defined by the formula: an=40(2‾√)n−1 a n = 40 ( 2 ) n − 1

WITCHER [35]

The ratio of the geometric sequence 40 $2^{n-1}$ is 2.

Given that geometric sequence is 40* $2^{n-1}$ and we have to find the common ratio of all the terms.

Geometric sequence is a sequence in which all the terms have a common ratio.

Nth termof a GP is a $r^{n-1}$ in which a is first term and r is common ratio.

Geometric sequence=40* $2^{n-1}$

We have to first find the first term, second term and third term of a geometric progression.

First term=40* $2^{1-1}$

=40* $2^{0}$

=40*1

=40

Second term=40* $2^{2-1}$

=40* $2^{1}$

=40*2

=80

Third term=40* $2^{3-1}$

=40* $2^{2}$

=40*4

=160

Ratio of first two terms=80/40=2

Ratio of next two terms=160/80=2

Hence the common ratio of geometric sequence is 2.

Use the slope intercept form to write an equation

postnew [5]

Given:

Slope = -3/5

y - intercept = (0 , 5)

The answer is y = -3/5 + 5

Note:

The x = 0 and the y = 5 . We are looking for y- intercept so we use 5 instead of 0.

Since the formula for slope intercept form is y = mx + b, we use option number 4 as our equation. for option number 1, it did not include the negative sign that was given in the slope so we opt to choose option 1.

Ming plays video games online.

Vlad1618 [11]

Ming needs to play for 15 hours to get 500 points. They gave him 200 for signing up, so 500-200=300 more points needed. 300 divided by 20= 15 more hours.
