If the CPI (consumer price index) of 141 increased 8.3 % this year. What was the end of year CPI?

1 answer:

4 0

If the CPI increased by 8.3%, therefore this means that there was a fractional increase of 0.083. So amount increased is:

CPI increase = 141 * 0.083 = 11.703

Therefore the end of year CPI is the sum of the original and the increase:

end of year CPI = 141 + 11.703 = 152.703

Answer:

152.703

What values of a and b make the equation true? sqrt(648)=sqrt(2^a•3^b)

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

ANSWER

The value of a and b are:

$a=3,b=4$

EXPLANATION

The expression given to us is

$\sqrt{648} = \sqrt{ {2}^{a} \times {3}^{b} }$

We square both sides of the equation to obtain

$648= {2}^{a} \times {3}^{b}$

We now find the prime factorization of 648 to obtain,

${2}^{3} \times {3}^{4} = {2}^{a} \times {3}^{b}$

We now compare the exponents on both sides of the equation to obtain,

$a=3,b=4$

Therefore the correct option is C
