Answer:
$39.10
Step-by-step explanation:
$40 * 1.15 = $46
$46 * 0.85 = $39.10
"Increasing" and "decreasing" are references to what the y-values do when the x-values increase.
Attached is a copy of all four tables, marked with whether the y-values increased or decreased on each step (and it also shows how much that increase or decrease was.
The only table that does this is the top right table in the attachment, which is your second table.
3^7 when you are multiplying numbers with the same base add the exponents.
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x+2)^2 + 4x^2 = (3x+4)^2
(x+2)(x+2)+ 4x^2= (3x+4)(3x+4)
x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 + 4x^2 = 9x^2 + 12x + 12 x + 16
5x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16
-4x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
now we can use the quadratic formula
(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
I can't type all this so
.....
x = -0.697224362 or -4.302775638
AB can't be negative so it's the first one
so it's equals to 1.302775638
