Write an explanation to help your friend understand why the expression 0.45x represents decreasing x by 55%.

Need the answer please and thank you!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A variable is a letter that is used to represent a number. For instance, in this problem the variable x represents an unknown number that will equal 5 when added to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

x - (55/100)x = 0.45x

The decreasing x by 55% is 0.45x

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

Decreasing x by 55%.

This can be written as,

= x - (55/100)x

= x - 0.55x

= 0.45x

Thus,

The decreasing x by 55% is 0.45x

My man Zachary is right!

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is so very simple!

Whenever a negative, anywhere in the equation multiples to another negative, it is always a positive!

Whenever a positive number multiples to a negative number anywhere in the equation, it is always a negative number!

So Negative*Negative is Positive (-10 x -10 = 100)

And Positive*Negative is always negative (-10 x 10 = -100)

And we both know that Positive times positive is positive. (10 x 10 = 100)

Answer:

it is 5.5 inches wide, 1.5 inches thick and 3 feet long

Answer: Im not really sure if this is correct but it's what I put so I hope it is. If it's incorrect please let me know.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find its mass and volume.

Mass: 8.05

Volume: Turn 3 feet into inches: 36

36in × 1.5in × 5.5in =297

Density : 8.05lb ÷ 297 cubic inches = 0.027 cubic inches

A patients IV bag contains 750mL. Four hours later, the IV bag contains 450mL.

a) Determine the rate at which the bag is draining.
b) Use your answer from (a) to predict how many mL of IV fluid are left in the bag after 6 hours.

Answers

Answers:
a) 75ml/hr
b) 0ml left

Explanation:
a) 750ml - 450ml = 300ml (This is how much we know the bag drained within 4hrs)

300ml/4=75ml

so now we know the rate of drain is 75ml/hr

b) since rate is 75ml/hr:
75*6=450
450-450=0

Hence there will be no fluid left for the patient.

(a) The rate at which the bag is draining is 75mL/h.

(b) After 6 hours, the remaining fluid is =0 mL.

What is rate?

Rate is a measurement of change of a quantity with respect to another quantity.

Given that,

Initial volume of bag=750 mL,

After 4 hours later, the volume of bag= 450.

(a)

To determine the rate of draining,

The change of volume in 4 hours= 750-450=300

The change of volume in 1 hour = 300/4=75

So, the rate of draining= 75mL

(b)

To determine the remaining volume of bag after 6 hours,

The volume drains in 1 hour=75 mL

The volume drains in 6 hours = 75×6=450

The remaining fluid = 450-450=0

The fluid remains after 6 hours is 0mL.

[tex]2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex][n][/tex] denote the area of some polygon [tex]n[/tex].

The sum of the area of quadrilaterals BCDE and MNDE is equal to [tex][ABC]-([MBE]+[NDC]+AMN])[/tex] (big triangle subtracting the three smaller triangles that aren't part of BCDE or MNDE).

Let the area of triangle ABC be [tex]\alpha[/tex].

Triangle AMN is similar to triangle ABC. Because their side lengths are in ratio 1:2 respectively, the ratio of the area of triangle AMN to triangle ABC is [tex]1:2^2=1:4[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]\displaystyle [AMN]=\frac{1}{4}[ABC]=\frac{1}{4}\alpha[/tex].

Now for triangle NDC, NDC is similar to triangle AMC. Since M is the midpoint of AB, AMC is half the area of ABC. The ratio of the side lengths between triangle NDC and triangle AMC is [tex]1:2[/tex] because the D is the midpoint of MC, so it follows the ratio of their areas must be [tex]1:4[/tex], respectively.

Therefore, [tex]\displaystyle[NDC]=\frac{1}{4}[AMC]=\frac{1}{8}[ABC]=\frac{1}{8}\alpha[/tex].

We can use the same concept for triangle MEB. Triangle MEB is similar to triangle ANB, and the ratio of their sides is also [tex]1:2[/tex], since E is the midpoint of BN. Their areas are in the ratio [tex]1:2^2=1:4[/tex] and we have [tex]\displaystyle [MBE]=\frac{1}{4}[ANB]=\frac{1}{8}\alpha[/tex].

Thus,

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{[ABC]}{[BCDE]+[MNDE]}=\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-\frac{1}{4}\alpha-\frac{1}{8}\alpha-\frac{1}{8}\alpha}=\frac{\alpha}{0.5\alpha}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=\boxed{2}[/tex]

To turn percentages into coefficients divide by 100, so 85% become .85. She marks them up or adds a cost of 85% so instead of using .85 we use 1.85. so 1.85 times initial cost of candle is 1.85*9=16.65

DE = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the measure of side DE.

You can write this equation to represent the problem:

[tex]x *\frac{2}{3} =20[/tex]

The measure of DE (x) is multiplied by the scale factor of [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] to become 20.

Solve for x:

[tex]x *\frac{2}{3} =20\\\frac{2x}{3} =20\\2x=60\\x=30[/tex]

Without graphing, describe the transformation from the parent function
f(x) = | x |.

1. y = 5| x |
2. y = 1/3 I x I
3. y = 3| x |

Answers

Answer:

1.  y = 5|x|   ⇒vertical stretch

2. y = ⅓|x|  ⇒vertical compression

3. y = 3|x|   ⇒vertical stretch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parent absolute value function, f(x) = |x|:

1) y = 5|x|  

The transformed function, y = a|x|, where |a| > 1, represents the vertical stretch of the parent graph by a factor of a.  

A vertical stretch is a transformation to the parent function where there is an increase in distance between corresponding points of a graph.

Therefore, the absolute value equation, y = 5|x|, represents a vertical stretch of the parent function by a factor of 5. The graph of y = 5|x| is narrower than the parent function, f(x) = |x|.  

2) y = ⅓|x|    

The transformed function, y = a|x|, where 0< |a| < 1, represents the vertical compression of the parent graph by a factor of a.  

A vertical compression is a transformation to the parent function where there is a decrease in distance between corresponding points of a graph.

Therefore, the absolute value equation, y = ⅓|x|, represents a vertical stretch of the parent function by a factor of . The graph of y = ⅓|x| is wider than the parent function, f(x) = |x|.  

 

3) y = 3|x|

Similar to question 1, the absolute value equation, y = 3|x|, represents a vertical stretch of the parent function by a factor of 3. The graph of y = 3|x| is narrower than the parent function, f(x) = |x|.  

Attached are the graphs of the given absolute value functions, where it shows the transformations to the parent function, f(x) = |x|.

Consider two congruent square prisms each rectangular face of prism A has a width of 2x+3 and each rectangular face of prism B had a length of 4x+6 if each rectangular face of prism A has and area of 25x+25 what is the volume of prism B (round to the nearest whole number)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

prism A side area is square of side length

(2x + 3)² = 25x + 25

4x² + 12x + 9 = 25x + 25

4x² - 13x - 16 = 0

x = (13 ±√(13² - 4(4)(-16))) / (2(4))

positive answer is

x = (13 +√425)/8 which is approximately 4.20194...

so side length of B is

4((13 +√425)/8) + 6  which is approximately 22.80776...

Volume is side length cubed

V = (4((13 +√425)/8) + 6)³ which is approximately 11,864.4643...

V = 11,864 units³

y-intercept: 7 - (4)(1) = 3

Start in the vertical line (y) on 3, 4 up and 1 to the right (you need to points to trace a line)

2. Slope = (0- - 2)/(8-0) = 1/4

y - intercept = -2-(1/4)(0) = -2

Start on -2 vertical line, 1 up and 4 to the right.

3. Slope = (1-0)/(0-2 = -1/2
