The answer is exponential decay
If she used all of her yarn, she'd have 24 pieces. If she wanted 1.25 left, she'd have ten less because 24 • .125 = 8, and 1/4 of eight = 2, and 2 + 8 = 10.
So she'd have 14 pieces.
Apply slip and slide
a^2-3a-4
(a-4)(a+1)
(a-2)(2a+1)
Find zeros
a-2=0
a=2
2a+1=0
2a=-1
a=-1/2
Final answer: {-1/2, 2}
1. 72 to 50 points
50/72 = 69%
100-69= 31% decrease
2. 14 to 40 books
14 / 40 = 35%
100-35= 65% increase
3. 10 plus 30% increase
10 * 0.3 = 13
The answer is x=6. Hope this helped.
