HELP for 20 points PLAES

If a price decreases by 20% I can calculate 20% of the price and subtract it from the original price or I can calculate it in on

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

both statements are fine

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,

First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.

For example:

let "x" be the original price

in the first case it would be:

0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:

x - 0.2 * x

in the second case it is:

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x

Justine earned $28,000 during the first year of her job at city hall. After each year she received a 6% raise. Find her total ea

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$ 157838.60 in 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 1.06

sum of geometric seq = a1 ( 1-r^n)/(1-r) n = 5

28000 ( 1 - 1.06^5) / ( 1-1.06) = 157838.60

F(x) = e^-x . Find the equation of the tangent to f(x) at x=-1

natima [27]

Answer:

The equation of the tangent line is given by the following equation:

$\displaystyle y - \frac{1}{e} = \frac{-1}{e} \bigg( x - 1 \bigg)$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ - x coordinate
y₁ - y coordinate
m - slope

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

Recall that the definition of the derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

$\displaystylef(x) = e^{-x} \\x = -1$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Apply Exponential Differentiation [Derivative Rule - Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = e^{-x}(-x)'$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Rule - Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}(x)'$
[Derivative] Apply Derivative Rule [Derivative Rule - Basic Power Rule]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}$
