<h3>Answer:  0.9999</h3>

Explanation:

Having a 1% increase means we go from 100% to 100%+1% = 101% which converts to the decimal form 1.01; note how you move the decimal point two spots to the left to go from 101% to 1.01

A 1% decrease means we go from 100% to 100%-1% = 99% = 0.99

Multiplying 1.01 and 0.99 leads to 1.01*0.99 = 0.9999

Since 0.9999 = 99.99%, this means we have a 100% - 99.99% = 0.01% decrease overall.

Note: the order of the decrease and increase doesn't matter. You could do the decrease first, then the increase, or vice versa.

Describe the transformation done to y=1/x to get y=1/4x-12.<br><br> Please Show Work.
goldenfox [79]
These are the steps for transforming y=1/x to y=1/4x -12:

Step 1: Compress the original function by 4 in x direction. This will yield,

y= 1/4x

Step 2: The resulting function in step 1 is moved down by 12 spaces. The resulting function will be;

y= 1/4x -12
