x = original price, or 100%

if we take off 25% from 100% what's left is 75%, that's the discounted price.

let's then take 10% of that.

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{75\% of "x"}}{\left( \cfrac{75}{100} \right)x\implies 0.75x} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{10\% of 0.75x}}{\left( \cfrac{10}{100} \right)0.75x\implies 0.075x}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{total percent savings}}{0.75x-0.075x\implies 0.675x} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{changing that to percent format}}{0.675\cdot 100\implies 67.5\%}

How is the graph of the parent function y=x^2 transformed to produce the graph of y=3(x+1)^2?
Ann [662]

The +1 in parenthesis is adding one to the x value, which shifts the graph 1 unit to the left, called a horizontal translation.

The 3 outside of the parenthesis is multiplying the X value by 3, which narrows the shape of the graph ( makes the curve 3 times sharper), which is called a vertical stretch.

Find C.<br> Round to the nearest tenth
andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC

cosC= (a^2+b^2-c^2)/(2ab)

C=arccos[(a^2+b^2-c^2)/(2ab)]

C=arccos(90^2+55^2-50^2)/(2(90)55)

C=arccos(8625)/(9900)

C=29.4 degrees

The diagonal of rectangle ABCD measures 2 inches in length What is the length of line segment AB?
sesenic [268]
Unfortunately, this item does not come with any figure to illustrate the lengths of the rectangle. However, it may be noted that by connecting two opposite vertices of a rectangle by a diagonal, we form a right triangle. We may then use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the answer. 
                                     a² + b² = c²
c in this equation is the length of the diagonal, a and b are the lengths of the sides.

If g(x) = 725, which of the following is true?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The g(x) = 725 makes no sense to me....

however g(x)  =  -2x/(x-3)  can be solved by plugging x = value into function

a)   g(x)  =  -2x/(x-3)

     g(0)  =  -2(0)/(0-3)  = -3

             =    0/-3  = 0  ≠  -3      FALSE

b)  g(x)  =  -2x/(x-3)  = 1

    g(1)  =  -2(1)/(1-3)  = 1

           =  -2 / -2  =  1  equals 1   TRUE

c)  g(x)  =  -2x/(x-3)

    g(2) =  -2(2)/(2-3)   <  g(4)  =  -2(4)/(4-3)

           =   -4 / -1          <   -8 / 1

           =     4    is greater than   - 8       FALSE

d) g(x)  =  -2x/(x-3)    both values were already calcuated

   g(1)  =  -2(1)/(1-3)  = 1      <    g(2) =  -2(2)/(2-3)  =  4

                                  1     <        4      TRUE
