Answer: Multiplying the number by 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay took a number, n, and increased it by 25%. The value gotten will be:

= n + (25% × n)

= n + (0.25 × n)

= n + 0.25n

= 1.25n

After that, Then, he doubled the resulting product. The value now gotten will be:

= 2 × 1.25n

= 2.50n

Therefore, the equivalent will be multiplying the number by 2.5. This will be:

= n × 2.5

= 2.5n

Therefore, it's thesame with the value gotten.

The correct option is D.

Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 9x + 1 = 0 Give answer to 3 significant figures
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Either, (9+√69)/6 or (9-√69)/6

Step wise:

3x²-9x+1=0-------------------(i)

comparing equation onw with (ax²+bx+c=0), we get,

a=3, b=-9, c=1

now,

using Quadratic Formula,

(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a=x

{-(-9)±√(-9)²-4.3.1}/2.3=x

(9±√81-12)/6=x

(9±√69)/6=x

Taking +(ve) sign                   Taking -(ve) sign

(9+√69)/6=0                           (9-√69)/6=0

∴(9+√69)/6=0                         ∴(9-√69)/6=0

[∵They cannot be further solved]
