So the book guy mark downed the price of the books by 46%, also known as 0.46. All decimals are less than 1. So then, what you do is you take b, which is the variable defining the price of the book, then you multiply it by 0.46. So the answer of b would be b x 0.46. For C, you must do 29 x 0.54, and that will give you the answer for C. Finally, in D, take the answer you got in C, and subtract that by 29. This will give you your answer.
We are given the equation y = 2(x – 3)^2 – 4 and is asked for the domain and range of the following function. In this case, there is no radical sign so the domain includes all real numbers. The range has a minimum value of -4 since the squaring makes the value on the first term positive. Hence the answer is A.
