Answer:

Suppose the closest point is at p=(x0,y0), and set q=(−2,−3). Then the tangent to the parabola at p is perpendicular to ℓ, the line through p,q. and we end up numerically computing the roots from here.

David sells two calculators for ₹1500 each .He earns a profit of 25% on

notsponge [240]

Answer:

gain = 0

% = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit

He sells one for a profit of 25% That means he sells one of them for 100% + 25% = 125%

₹1500 * 125/100 = ₹187500/100 = ₹1875

Loss

Here he sells it for 25% less than the selling price he wanted.

100% - 25% = 75%

₹1500 * 75/100 = ₹112500/100 = ₹1125

Discussion

He should make ₹1500 + ₹1500 = ₹3000 without either profit or loss.

What he actually accomplishes is ₹1125 + ₹1875 = ₹3000

So he has a net gain (loss) of 0.

The % is 0

Iodine-125 has a half-life of about 60 days. How many milligrams of a 1000 mg sample will remain after 240 days?

Tomtit [17]

240 days is 4 times the half-life, which means that a sample of 1000 mg will decay to

$\dfrac{1000}{2^4}=\dfrac{125}2=62.5\,\mathrm{mg}$
