Answer:

Approximate decrease is 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent decrease is the change over the new original / final value.  The change between the old and the new is 850 - 500, which is 350.  Thus the approximate percentage difference is

<u>350</u>

500

A quick way to turn anything with a denominator that starts with 5 and any number of zeros after it ... is to multiply both the top and bottom by 2.  That is, that turns the ratio above to:

<u>700 </u>

1000

Since a percentage is a number of 100, not 1000, just divide everything by 10.  That means take away a zero from each number, which gives you a fraction of:

<u>70 </u>

100

Thus, the result is 70/100, or 70%.

the graph of y=e^tanx-2 crosses the x axis at one point in the interval [0,1]. What is the slope of the graph at this point? I g
Svetlanka [38]
Y = e^tanx   -   2

To find at which point it crosses x axis we state that y= 0

e^tanx   - 2 = 0 
e^tanx = 2
tanx = ln 2
tanx = 0.69314
x = 0.6061

to find slope at that point first we need to find first derivative of funtion y.

y' = (e^tanx)*1/cos^2(x)

now we express x = 0.6061 in y' and we get:
y' = k = 2,9599

A woodworker makes wooden checkerboards. her profit is a function of the price she charges. this graph shows her total profits,
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the profit is defined as the difference between the revenue and the cost.

So, having a profit y = 0 means that the woodworker did not win nor lose anything.

Then the zeros of the function, the values of x such that the graph intersects the x-axis, are the prices such that she does not win nor loss anything.

In the graph we can see that the zeros are at:

x = 15 (the first one)

x = 70 (the second one)

so the zeros are at x = 15 and x = 70, and these are the prices such that the profit is zero, so at these prices she does not make nor lose money.

The correct option is B.
