Why -4 x (-4) = 16 not -16? Simple...

Mathematics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
4 0
The reason why it is a positive 16 and not a negative 16, is because when you multiply a negative number with another negative number  you will always get a positive number. But, if you multiple a negative number with a positive number, you will get a negative. So, in order for you to get a -16, the equation would have to be -4*4=-16.

What is the equation of the following graph?
vivado [14]

From the diagram, Vertex =(2,3)

So, (h,k)=(2,3)

So, h=2 and k=3

The equation of parabola is

(x-h)^{2}=4p(y-k)

p is the distance of directrix or focus from vertex.

As directrix is

y=8=k-p=3-p

So, 8=3-p

Let, us subtract 3 from both sides, we get

8-3=3-3-p

5=-p

or p=-5

So, h=2,k=3 and p=-5

So, the equation of parabola is

(x-2)^{2}=4(-5)(y-3)

Equation of graph is

(x-2)^2=-20(y-3)

A sporting goods manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns shown on the right, making
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The original selling price would be $ 515.87 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the complete question is :

"A sporting goods store manager was selling a ski set for a certain price. The manager offered the markdowns​ shown, making the​ one-day sale price of the ski set ​$325. Find the original selling price of the ski set. It was marked down 10% and 30%"

Suppose x be the original selling price ( in dollars ),

After marking down 10%,

New selling price = x - 10% of x = x - 0.1x = 0.9x

Again after marking down 30%,

Final selling price = 0.9x - 30% of 0.9x

= 0.9x - 0.3 × 0.9x

= 0.9x - 0.27x

= 0.63x

According to the question,

0.63x = 325

\implies x =\frac{325}{0.63}=\$ 515.87

Therefore, the original selling price would be $ 515.87.
