Elle decreased her monthly budget from $250 to $200. Calculate the percent decrease

1 answer:

6 0

Formula for finding percent change (increase or decrease) is amount of the change divided by the original amount.

Here, the amount of the change is 50 and the original amount is 250.

50/250= 0.2

Multiply by 100 to get percent.

20% decrease (because budget went down)

9) Let<br> X-2, x, x+3 <br> be the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence. FInd the value of x..

Reil [10]

Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

How do i solve this quadratic equation x²+6x+c

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

recall in a perfect square trinomial, the middle term is the tale-tell guy, we know the middle term is the product of 2 and the two other guys without the exponent, so in this case 6x = 2*√x² * √c.

$\bf 6x=2\cdot \sqrt{x^2}\cdot \sqrt{c}\implies 6x=2\sqrt{x^2c}\implies 6x=2x\sqrt{c}\\\\\\\cfrac{6x}{2x}=\sqrt{c}\implies 3=\sqrt{c}\implies 3^2=c\implies 9=c$
