They are already both positive numbers, so the absolute value of 2 is 2, and the absolute value of 1/3 is 1/3.
The tree's grow rate is 1.1 per month

First, let's put the second equation, <span>x-2.23y+10.34=0, in terms of y:
x - 2.23y +10.34 = 0
2.23y = x + 10.34
y = .45x + 4.64
Now we can substitute the right side of this equation for y in the first equation
</span><span>y=2x^2+8x
.45x + 4.64 = 2x^2 + 8x
Turn it into a quadratic by getting 0 on one side:
2x^2 + 8x - .45x - 4.64 = 0
2x^2 + 7.55x - 4.64 = 0 Divide both sides by 2
x^2 + 3.76x - 2.32 = 0
x =( -b +/- </span>√(b² - 4ac) ) / 2a
x =( -3.76 +/- √(14.14 + 9.28)) ÷ 2
x = .54 or -4.31
Plug the x values into y = .45x + 4.64
y = .45 (.54) + 4.64
y = 4.88 when x= .54
y = .45 (-4.31) + 4.64
y = 2.70 when x= -4.31
Solution set:
{ (0.54, 4.88) , (-4.31, 2.70) }
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify;
We expand the bracket to obtain;
We now group the like terms to obtain;
We now simplify to get;
The correct answer is C
There is a very simple way of dealing with percentages.
"increase" means add
"decrease/discount/reduce" means subtract
Now, we know that the original price is 100%.
100% = 1 (like 50% = 0.5)
So if an object's price is x and it is 20% off, we get:
100%x - 20%x
Taking x common,
x(100% - 20%)
= 0.8x
Therefore, if we fist add/subtract the percentages we can multiply directly with the original to get the answer. This is as follows:
5] Increase 101 by 16%
1 + 0.16 = 1.16
So the answer is:
101 * 1.16
= 117.16
6] Decrease 36 by 21%
1 - 0.21 = 0.79
The answer is:
36 * 0.79
= 28.44
7] Let original price be x, we know it is 35% off
1 - 0.35
= 0.65
0.65x = 13
x = 20
