A number changes from 50 to 76. What type of percent change is this? Calculate the percent change.

7 0

This is a positive increase

You need to find the difference between 50 and 76 which is 26.
Then you do 26/50 which is 0.52. Multiply 0.52 by 100 and that leaves you with 52.

The percentage increase is 52%.

Hope this helps x

Answer:

<h3>50 is the old value and 76 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 52 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.</h3>

Number 4 is C because when you do 28 times 5 your get 140 then you do 140 divided by 20 to get 7 when you do proportions to find the missing number you cross multiply with the numbers there and divide with the number that is across from the missing
Number 5 is $6 because to find the missing number you have to see which way makes sense you could do 4 divided by 3 but you get a really long number so if you do 3 divided by 4 you get .75 and you get .75 for all cost is usually the y-axis so you do y divided x so then do .75 times 8 to get the answer
Number 6 to plot them you just go in the middle of the line for the first because it is not directly 2
Number 7 to change a fraction to decimal do the numerator divided by denominator even if the denominator is bigger so 6 divided by 25 is .24 for decimal form to get the percent move the decimal point two places to the right so it will be 24%

How to know if a function is periodic without graphing it ?

zhenek [66]

A function $f(t)$ is periodic if there is some constant $k$ such that $f(t+k)=f(k)$ for all $t$ in the domain of $f(t)$ . Then $k$ is the "period" of $f(t)$ .

Example:

If $f(x)=\sin x$ , then we have $\sin(x+2\pi)=\sin x\cos2\pi+\cos x\sin2\pi=\sin x$ , and so $\sin x$ is periodic with period $2\pi$ .

It gets a bit more complicated for a function like yours. We're looking for $k$ such that

$\pi\sin\left(\dfrac\pi2(t+k)\right)+1.8\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}5(t+k)\right)=\pi\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2+1.8\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5$

Expanding on the left, you have

$\pi\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2\cos\dfrac{k\pi}2+\pi\cos\dfrac{\pi t}2\sin\dfrac{k\pi}2$

and

$1.8\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5\cos\dfrac{7k\pi}5-1.8\sin\dfrac{7\pi t}5\sin\dfrac{7k\pi}5$

It follows that the following must be satisfied:

$\begin{cases}\cos\dfrac{k\pi}2=1\\\\\sin\dfrac{k\pi}2=0\\\\\cos\dfrac{7k\pi}5=1\\\\\sin\dfrac{7k\pi}5=0\end{cases}$

The first two equations are satisfied whenever $k\in\{0,\pm4,\pm8,\ldots\}$ , or more generally, when $k=4n$ and $n\in\mathbb Z$ (i.e. any multiple of 4).

The second two are satisfied whenever $k\in\left\{0,\pm\dfrac{10}7,\pm\dfrac{20}7,\ldots\right\}$ , and more generally when $k=\dfrac{10n}7$ with $n\in\mathbb Z$ (any multiple of 10/7).

It then follows that all four equations will be satisfied whenever the two sets above intersect. This happens when $k$ is any common multiple of 4 and 10/7. The least positive one would be 20, which means the period for your function is 20.

Let's verify:

$\sin\left(\dfrac\pi2(t+20)\right)=\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2\underbrace{\cos10\pi}_1+\cos\dfrac{\pi t}2\underbrace{\sin10\pi}_0=\sin\dfrac{\pi t}2$

$\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}5(t+20)\right)=\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5\underbrace{\cos28\pi}_1-\sin\dfrac{7\pi t}5\underbrace{\sin28\pi}_0=\cos\dfrac{7\pi t}5$

More generally, it can be shown that

$f(t)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(a_i\sin(b_it)+c_i\cos(d_it))$

is periodic with period $\mbox{lcm}(b_1,\ldots,b_n,d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ .
