Answer:

60% decrease in area

Step-by-step explanation:

12 x5 == 60 sq feet (original area)

9 x 4 == 36 sq feet (new area)

36/60 = 6/10 = 60%

Answer:

$x=23.78$ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As this problem is involving the adjacent and hypotenuse sides, we will be using the cosine function

We can setup an equation as follows

$cos(18)=\frac{x}{25}$

We can now solve for x

$x=25cos(18)\\\\x=23.776$

This rounds to

$x=23.78$

Anyone know how to answer this

Papessa [141]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function f(x) from x = a to x = b is

$\dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Here we have

a = -1

b = 2

f(a) = f(-1) = 1

f(b) = f(2) = 64

$\dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} =$

$= \dfrac{f(2) - f(-1)}{2 - (-1)} =$

$= \dfrac{64 - 1}{2 + 1}$

$= \dfrac{63}{3}$

$= 21$

Jose is asked to graph the equation y = −4x + 5 without a table, but he cannot remember how. Which explanation will help him gra

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

He has to remember that b is the y-intercept and in this case it is 5 so he can automatically graph that point. Next, he has to recall that the number before the x is the slope and in this case it is -4 so he can use this to graph the line correctly.
