<h3>Answer: 53,560 dollars</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Having the salary increase by 3% means we can use the multiplier 1.03

Think of it like 100% + 3% = 1 + 0.03 = 1.03

The new salary is 52,000*1.03 = 53,560 dollars

----------------

The slightly longer way to do this is to first figure out how much 3% of 52,000 is

3% of 52,000 = 0.03*52,000 = 1560

Ricardo earns $1560 more dollars on top of the salary of $52,000

So overall his new salary is $1,560 + $52,000 = $53,560

----------------

Personally, I prefer the first method because it's quicker and it allows for multiple percentage increases to chain together. It also could be used to chain in percentage decreases as well.

Find the vertex of the function given below.<br> y= 2x2 + 4x + 1

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

vertex is (-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ways

1. get into vertex form y=a(x-h)^2+k

2. use math hacks

vertex is (h,k) in y=a(x-h)^2+k

complete square

y=(2x^2+4x)+1

y=2(x^2+2x)+1

y=2(x^2+2x+1-1)+1

y=2((x+1)^2-1)+1

y=2(x+1)^2-2+1

y=2(x+1)^2-1

y=2(x-(-1))^2+(-1)

vertex is (-1,-1)

2.hack way

in form y=ax^2+bx+c

x value of vvertex is -b/2a

given

y=2x^2+4x+1

b=4, a=2

xvaluevertex=-4/(2*2)

xvaluevertex=-4/4=-1

sub back to find y value

y=2(-1)^2+4(-1)+1

y=2(1)-4+1

y=2-4+1

y=-1

y value is -1

Question 17 (5 points)

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Malcolm’s debt-to-income ratio is 0.8125

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out Malcolm’s debt-to-income ratio, divide monthly expenses by the monthly salary

Let

x ------> Malcolm’s monthly expenses

y -----> Malcolm’s monthly salary

In this problem we have

$x=\$975\\ y=\$1,200$

The ratio is equal to

$975/1,200=0.8125$
