Answer:

Decreased by 20%.

16 lbs is 80% of 20 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{100} :\frac{16}{20}$

y × 20 = 16 × 100

20y = 1600

20y ÷ 20 = 1600 ÷ 20

y = 80

100% - 80% = 20%

The point P(1,1/2) lies on the curve y=x/(1+x). (a) If Q is the point (x,x/(1+x)), find the slope of the secant line PQ correct

lukranit [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation of the curve

$y=\dfrac{x}{1+x}$

Point $P\left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$ lies on the curve.

Point $Q\left(x,\dfrac{x}{1+x}\right)$ is an arbitrary point on the curve.

The slope of the secant line PQ is

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\frac{x}{1+x}-\frac{1}{2}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-(1+x)}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-1-x}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\\ \\=\dfrac{\frac{x-1}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{x-1}{2(x+1)}\cdot \dfrac{1}{x-1}=\dfrac{1}{2(x+1)}\ [\text{When}\ x\neq 1]$

1. If x=0.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3}\approx 0.3333$

2. If x=0.9, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.9+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.8}\approx 0.2632$

3. If x=0.99, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.99+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.98}\approx 0.2513$

4. If x=0.999, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.999+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.998}\approx 0.2501$

5. If x=1.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{5}\approx 0.2$

6. If x=1.1, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.1+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.2}\approx 0.2381$

7. If x=1.01, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.01+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.02}\approx 0.2488$

8. If x=1.001, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.001+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.002}\approx 0.2499$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

She is correct.

An equilateral triangle is a specific acute triangle. An acute triangle can never be an equilateral triangle because it has 3 unequal angles. Your best choice is likely C, but none of the choices are first rate choices.
