Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers. A positive times a positive is a positive, right? But a negative times a negative is also a positive. Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number. So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.
Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives. Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147. What other factors of -147 are there?
What about 7? Try it: -147 / 7 = -21. So here are two factors: -21, and 7. They multiply to -147. Do they add up to -14? Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14. Yup, that works!
Answer: -21 and 7
OK so first I like to find what 10% is which in this case would be 1.8 and to find the other 5% you divide 1.8 by 2 which gets you .9 if you and 1.8 and .9 you get 2.7 and if you add 2.7 to 18 you get 20.7 which is your retail price
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, here's what you need to remember:
If we have a function <em>f(x)</em> and a factor <em>k</em>:
<em>k(f(x)) </em>will be a vertical stretch if k is greater than 1, and a vertical compression if k is greater than zero but less than 1.
<em>f(kx) </em>will be a horizontal compression if k is greater than 1, and a horizontal stretch if k is greater than zero but less than 1.
We are multiplying 0.5 to the function. In other words: 0.5f(x).
This is outside the function, so it's vertical.
0.5 is less than 1, so this would be a vertical compression
Emily bikes 12 miles, generating a donation unit for every 0.75 miles. Her 12 mile ride will generate
12 × 0.75 = 9 donation units. For each of these 9 danation units her mother will donate 80 cents.
It follows that Emily's mom will donate
9 donation units × $0.80 per unit = $7.20.
