Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find a percentage, you divide the part out of the whole (numerator out of the denominator in a fraction);

4 ÷ 8 = 0.5

Once you have your decimal number, you need to move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left to turn it into a percentage;

0.5 = 50

Therefore, the percent decrease is 50%.

The explanation would be because 365-105=206 and then double 105 which would be 210 and then subtract that from 206 which would be 50 then divide that by 2 and you would get 25

The area of the conference table in Mr. Nathan’s office must be no more than 175 ft2. If the length of the table is 18 ft more t
Aleksandr [31]
Width = x
Length = x+18

Assuming the table is rectangular:
Area = x(x + 18)

Therefore:
x(x + 18) <span>≤ 175
x^2 + 18x </span><span>≤ 175

Using completing the square method:
x^2 + 18x + 81 </span><span>≤ 175 + 81
(x + 9)^2 </span><span>≤ 256
|x + 9| </span><span>≤ sqrt(256)
|x + 9| </span><span>≤ +-16
-16 </span>≤ x + 9 <span>≤ 16
</span>-16 - 9 ≤ x <span>≤ 16 - 9
</span>-25 ≤ x <span>≤ 7

But x > 0 (there are no negative measurements):

Therefore, the interval 0 < x </span><span>≤ 7 represents the possible widths.</span><span>

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 3+2 = 5, and the 3 ratio units representing large bandages make up 3/5 of that total. Thus, large bandages will make up 3/5 of the total number of bandages:

  3/5×80 = 48 . . . . number of large bandages in the kit

What are the vertical asymptotes of the function f(x) = 4x+8/x^2+3x-4
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>1 and -4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The vertical asymptote of a function is gotten by equating the denominator of such function to zero.</em>

Given

f(x) = 4x+8/x^2+3x-4

The vertical asymptotes is expressed as;

x^2+3x-4 = 0

Factorize

x^2+4x-x-4 = 0

x(x+4) -1 (x+4) = 0

(x-1)(x+4) = 0

x-1 = 0 and x+4 = 0

x = 1 and x = -4

<em>Hence the vertical asymptotes of the function are 1 and -4</em>
