Method 1: A pure algebraic approach

The unknown in this problem is the percent of decrease. A percent of decrease is the percentage of the original price that was deducted from the original price to obtain the sale price. We could write a "word equation" for this process like this:

original price - (percent of decrease)(original price) = sale price

Since the percent of decrease is the unknown in this problem, we'll call the percent of decrease x%.

Here's what we know so far:

The original price was $200

The sale price was $170

The percent of increase was x%

Putting this information in our word equation gives us an algebraic equation:

200 - (x%)(200) = 170

What do we do with the percent sign in this equation? "Percent" means "out of 100", so x% means x out of 100, or . Now we have this:

200 - (200) = 170

Now we'll solve our equation:

200 - (200) = 170

200 - 2x = 170

-2x = -30

x = 15

So the percent of decrease is 15%

Method 2: A method involving pure arithmetic.

If we know the original price and the sale price, we can find the percent of decrease in two steps:

Find the amount of decrease

Divide the amount of decrease by the original amount

This will give us the percent of decrease (written as a decimal number). We can then write the decimal as an equivalent percent to find our final answer.

Let's use method 2 on the same problem:

Frank bought a new television set on sale. If the TV's original price was $200 and Frank paid $170 for the TV, what was the percent of decrease?

First, let's find the amount of decrease:

Amount of decrease = 200 - 170 = 30

So the price decreased by $30.

Next, we'll find the percent of decrease, and rewrite the decimal answer as a percent:

Percent of decrease =  = = .15 = 15%

So the percent of decrease is 15%

Before we leave the problem, let's check our answer:

Original price = $200

Price reduced by 15% of original price = 200(.15) = $30

Sale price would then be = $200 - $30 = $170

Our answer checks. We're done!    Me not know if correct.

To copy an angle using only a compass and a straightedge, begin by marking the vertex of the new angle. Then draw a ray from the
podryga [215]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


Place the point of the compass on the vertex of our original angle. Open the compass to a random width and draw an arc through both legs of the angle. Mark the points of intersection with this arc and the sides of the angle.


Explanation:


In order to copy the angle, we need to have some reference for how wide the angle is.


So far all we have is a ray. To get the reference for the width that we need, we will construct an arc in the original angle such that it intersects each side of the angle.


We will then set the compass width to these points of intersection. This will be how we set the width of the new angle.

Two cones are cut by a plane as shown, where the plane is perpendicular to the bases. The cross-section of the cones and the pla
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

  D) a hyperbola

Step-by-step explanation:

IMO, the image is not helpful, as it suggests the ends of the curve are nearly parallel to each other. In fact, the ends of the curve asymptotically approach straight lines parallel to the sides of the cone. That is, there are asymptotes that form an X shape. This is a characteristic of a hyperbola.

___

A parabola is formed when the plane cuts the cone parallel to one side. That cut plane only intersects one nap of the cone. At a shallower angle yet, one gets an ellipse. Parallel to a base, one gets a circle.

Can someone please help me with these ?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

11)  \sqrt{8x+33} =3\\8x+33=9\\8x=-24\\x=-3

Subtract 4 from both sides.  Square each side.  Subtract 33 from both sides.  Divide each side by 8.  Your answer is -3.

12)  7x-17=x^2-2x+1\\0=x^2-9x+18\\0=(x-6)(x-3)\\x=6,    x=3

Square both sides.  Put all numbers on one side of the equation so that you can be equal to zero.  Factor out and solve for x.
