harmaine spent a total of $20 at the grocery store. Of this amount, $9 she spent on fruit. What percentage of the total did she
1 answer:
Answer:
45%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's set up a fraction of how much money she spent for fruit out of the total amount of money she spent.
For a percentage, we need a fraction out of 100. To do this, we can multiply the fraction by 5/5 (5*20=100). Notice we can only do this since 5/5 is equivalent to 1, so you are technically multiplying the fraction by 1.
A percentage is just the numerator of a number over 100 therefore it is equal to...
45%

Answer:
3, in both a), b)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The slope of the line tangent to the curve that passes through the point (2,-10) is equal to the derivative of p at x=2.
Using differentiation rules (power rule and sum rule), the derivative of p(x) for any x is . In particular, the value we are looking for is
.
If you would like to compute the equation of the tangent line, we can use the point-slope equation to get
b) The instantaneus rate of change is also equal to the derivative of P at the point x=2, that is, P'(2). This is equal to .
