Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

For a markup, use the formula a = ( 1 + p ) × w.

!!! Remember, a is the selling price, and w is the original price !!!

!!! The p is the percent in decimal form. 20% as a decimal is 0.20 (move the decimal twice to the left) !!!

Inserting the values, it should look like a = ( 1 + 0.20 ) × 20

a = 1.20 × 20

a = 24

Hence, the new selling price is $24.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the square root of 100 times two divided by two

gogolik [260]

Answer:

10 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

√((100 * 2)/2)

Simplify. First, follow the Parenthesis. Combine 100 with 2

100 * 2 = 200

Next, divide by 2

200/2 = 100

Root 100

√100 = √10 * √10 = 10

10 is your answer

An easier way to solving this is to first cancel out the 2's ( multiplying 2 and dividing 2 would do nothing), and just square rooting 100, giving you the answer 10.

Express f(x) = |x-2| +|x+2| in the non-modulus form. Hence, sketch the graph of f.

Recall that

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

There are three cases to consider:

(1) When $x+2$ , we have $|x+2|=-(x+2)$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2x-4$

(2) When $x+2\ge0$ and $x-2$ , we get $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)+(x+2)=4$

(3) When $x-2\ge0$ , we have $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=x-2$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=(x-2)+(x+2)=2x$

So

$|x-2|+|x+2|=\begin{cases}-2x-4&\text{if }x$
