Answer:

3800

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

O - Original cost

N - New cost

c - change factor

Step 1:

Recognize that if something decreases by 19%, it is worth 19% <em>less</em>

This means that the new price, fractionally, is 100% - 19% = 81%

So we can use c as 0.81 (81/100)

Step 2:

Write an equation to represent what is happening

N = O * c

Step 3:

Sub in what we know

3078 = O * 0.81

Step 4:

Rearange and solve

O = 3078 / 0.81 = 3800

So if the question says at most 30 sq ft than most likely the > is going to go this way even if it has a line that symbolizes equal or more so that kinda narrows it down to 2 and 4. The L is -3ft x 2 Id say 4. Hope I helped

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}=-8x-4h-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=-4x^2-3x-4$

$f(x+h)=-4(x+h)^2-3(x+h)-4$

$f(x+h)=-4(x^2+2xh+h^2)-3(x+h)−4$

$f(x+h)=-4x^2-8xh-4h^2-3x-3h-4$

$f(x+h) - f(x)=-4x^2-8xh-4h^2-3x-3h-4-(-4x2-3x-4)$

$f(x+h) - f(x)=-4x^2-8xh-4h^2-3x-3h-4+4x2+3x+4$

$f(x+h) - f(x)=-8xh-4h^2-3h$

$f(x+h) - f(x)=h(-8x-4h-3)$

$\dfrac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}=\dfrac{h(-8x-4h-3)}{h}$

$\dfrac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}=-8x-4h-3$
