<span>the answer to 1.47 divided by 3.5 is 0.42. When you use different power of 10 to multiply the dividend and the divisor, the answer changes to different multiples of 0.42 in terms of 10. The answer could be 0.042 or 4.2 etc depending on the power of 10 used to multiply the dividend and divisor.</span>
Answer:
16 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula = 1/2 * base * height
1/2 * 8 * 4 = 16
16 cm^2
The difference of two squares factoring pattern states that a difference of two squares can be factored as follows:
So, whenever you recognize the two terms of a subtraction to be two squares, you can factor it as the sum of the roots multiplied by the difference of the roots.
In this case, the squares are obvious: 
is the square of 
, and 
is the square of 
So, we can factor the expression as
![(x+2)^2 - (y+2)^2 = [(x+2)+(y+2)] - [(x+2)+(y+2)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28x%2B2%29%5E2%20-%20%28y%2B2%29%5E2%20%3D%20%5B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28y%2B2%29%5D%20-%20%5B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28y%2B2%29%5D%20)
(the round parenthesis aren't necessary, I used them only to make clear the two terms)
We can simplify the expression summing like terms:
![(x+2)^2 - (y+2)^2 = [(x+2)+(y+2)][(x+2)-(y+2)] = (x+y+4)(x-y)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x%2B2%29%5E2%20-%20%28y%2B2%29%5E2%20%3D%20%5B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28y%2B2%29%5D%5B%28x%2B2%29-%28y%2B2%29%5D%20%3D%20%28x%2By%2B4%29%28x-y%29%20)
Answer: £5000
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12% decrease = £600
Then (100- 12)% = x
100% = x
0.12x = 600 x 0.88
0.12x = 528
Divide both sides by 0.12
£4400
Therefore, original price before 12% decrease was £5000
