Well,first you have to calculate the loss on both stocks.Then you need to sum them up and find his totall loss.Finally, you have to tutn it to prescentace. Your result is about 16.2%(I figured it might not be distinguishable in the picture I sent you.)

The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal form.

For example , 10% is the discount percentage

1 - 10% = 90% will be the percentage of original price to be paid

Here x represents the percent of the discount

so 1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.

A superhero is trying to leap over a tall building. The function f(x)=-16x^2+200x gives the superhero's height in feet as a func

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Since $\bigtriangleup \geq 0$ , the superhero makes it over the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is given by the following function:

$f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x$

Will the superhero make it over the building?

We have to find if there is values of x for which f(x) = 612.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

If $\bigtriangleup < 0$ , the polynomial has no solutions.

In this question:

$f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x$

$-16x^{2} + 200x = 612$

$16x^{2} - 200x + 612 = 0$

We have to find $\bigtriangleup$

We have that $a = 16, b = -200, c = 612$ . So

$\bigtriangleup = (-200)^{2} - 4*16*612 = 832$

Since $\bigtriangleup \geq 0$ , the superhero makes it over the building.

The function f(x) = g(x), where f(x) = 2x – 5 and g(x) = x2 – 6.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

$x=2.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solving Equations Using Successive Approximations</u>

We need to find the solution to the equation

$f(x)=g(x)$

where

$f(x)=2x-5$

$g(x)=x^2-6$

The approximation has been already started and reached a state for x=2.5 where

$f(2.5)=0$

$g(2.5)=2.5^2-6=0.25$

The difference between the results is 0.25, we need further steps to reach a good solution (to the nearest tenth)

Let's test for x=2.4

$f(2.4)=-0.2$

$g(2.4)=2.4^2-6=-0.24$

The new difference is -0.2+0.24=0.04

It's accurate enough, thus the solution is

$\boxed{x=2.4}$
