Divide each term by 6 and simplify.
x = −9
Answer:
the mode remains the same
Step-by-step explanation:
42 is outlier.
mod is the most repetitive number of a number string, and outlier does not change it.
the mode remains the same.
The price:
- last year: $2.25
- this year: $.45
The decrease: $2.25 - $.45 = $1.80
2.25 : 1.80 = 100 : x
2.25 x = 180
x = 180 : 2.25
x = 80
Answer:
The percent of decrease is A ) 80%
The tangent line to <em>y</em> = <em>f(x)</em> at a point (<em>a</em>, <em>f(a)</em> ) has slope d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> at <em>x</em> = <em>a</em>. So first compute the derivative:
<em>y</em> = <em>x</em>² - 9<em>x</em> → d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> - 9
When <em>x</em> = 4, the function takes on a value of
<em>y</em> = 4² - 9•4 = -20
and the derivative is
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (4) = 2•4 - 9 = -1
Then use the point-slope formula to get the equation of the tangent line:
<em>y</em> - (-20) = -1 (<em>x</em> - 4)
<em>y</em> + 20 = -<em>x</em> + 4
<em>y</em> = -<em>x</em> - 24
The normal line is perpendicular to the tangent, so its slope is -1/(-1) = 1. It passes through the same point, so its equation is
<em>y</em> - (-20) = 1 (<em>x</em> - 4)
<em>y</em> + 20 = <em>x</em> - 4
<em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - 24
A scale factor of 4. This is a simple dilation problem.
