How do you find the percentage of a number?

1 answer:

4 0

To find the percentage of a number multiply it by whatever decimal you are using or a fraction that you have to convert into a decimal to find the percent. Example: What is 10% of 25? (.10)(25) = 2.5 so 10% of 25 is 2.5.

Is this correspondence a function?

Afina-wow [57]

I’m not sure, sorry if I’m wrong but I’d say yes .

Explanation: A function is a correspondence between two sets where each element in the first set, called the domain, corresponds to exactly one element in the second set, called the range.

Stella graphs the equation y=1/3x – 2

faltersainse [42]

we have

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-2$

Statements

case A) The graph is a straight line.

The statement is True

Because, this is a linear equation (see the attached figure)

case B) The line passes through the origin.

The statement is False

Because the point $(0,0)$ is not a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

$0=\frac{1}{3}*0-2$

$0=-2$ ------> is not true

the point $(0,0)$ is not a solution

therefore

The line does not pass through the origin

case C) The line passes through the point $(0,-2)$

The statement is True

Because the point $(0,-2)$ is a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

$-2=\frac{1}{3}*0-2$

$-2=-2$ ------> is true

the point $(0,-2)$ is a solution

therefore

The line passes through the point $(0,-2)$

case D) The slope of the line is $3$

The statement is False

Because, the slope of the line is $m=\frac{1}{3}$

case E) The y-intercept of the line is $2$

The statement is False

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For $x=0$

find the value of y

$y=\frac{1}{3}*0-2=-2$

the y-intercept is equal to $-2$

In circle o,find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x \approx 5.4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break down this problem by first realizing different parts of the circle.

The line which is 8 units long is a chord of the circle.
The line that is 3.6 is almost the radius of the circle
The line that x sits on is the radius.

With this, we can find out if we find the radius of the circle, we have our answer.

We should also note that the angle formed by the 3.6 units long line and the chord is a right angle.

What we need is a way to find the radius of the circle. This will get us x. The radius of a circle will be the length of any line that starts from point O and ends at the circle edge.

If we draw a line connecting the end of the 3.6 line at point O to the end of the 8 unit long chord, we get a triangle! (Image attached for reference).

We can solve for the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem states that:

$\displaystyle a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Since we know one side is 3.6, we can use that as A. The second side will be 4 since the 3.6 line lies directly in the center of the chord = 8/2 = 4!

$3.6^2 + 4^2 = c^2$
$12.96+16=c^2$
$28.96=c^2$
$\sqrt{28.96} = c$
$5.4 \approx c$

Therefore, since this is the radius of the circle (also the hypotenuse), this can be said for any line that comes from point O onto the edge of the circle.

The line X does just that. Therefore, the value of x is also 5.4.

Hope this helped!
