Answer: 28.08%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers which in this case is 561,000 - 438,000 and the original number is 438,000.

561,000 - 438,000 is 123,000 so we are left with 123,000 divided by 438,000 which is 0<em>.</em>2808. Finally, since our problem is asking us for a percent, we write 0<em>.</em>2808 as a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right to get 28.08%.

So when the population changes from 438,000 to 561,000, it has increased by 28.08%.

The domain of f(x) is the set of all real values except 7, and the domain of g(x) is the set of all real values except –3. Which

Dmitrij [34]

Answer: All the real values except x ≠ 7 and the x for which f(x)≠-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, For function f , the domain is R - {7}

That is, If x is any element of the domain of the function f,

Then, x ≠ 7

(gof)(x) = g(f(x))

Since, For the function g, the domain is R - {-3}

Thus, If f(x) is any element of the domain of the function g,

Then f(x)≠ -3

Hence, Fourth Option is correct.

If ray JG is an angle bisector of ∠FJH, find m∠FJH.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

m∠FJH=60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

JG bisects FJH, FJG= (2x + 4)° and GJH = (3x -9)°

What is FJH

we know that

m∠FJH=m∠FJG+m∠GJH -----> equation A

If ray JG is an angle bisector of ∠FJH

then

m∠FJG=m∠GJH -----> equation B

substitute the given values in equation B and solve for x

(2x + 4)°=(3x -9)°

3x-2x=4+9

x=13

Find the measure of angle FJH

m∠FJH=(2x + 4)°+(3x -9)°

substitute the value of x

m∠FJH=(2(13) + 4)°+(3(13) -9)°

m∠FJH=(30)°+(30)°

m∠FJH=60°

A stock has produced returns of 11.9 percent, 5.6 percent, 16.4 percent, and -4.2 percent over the past four years, respectively

EleoNora [17]

The average annual return is

$\displaystyle ((1+0.119)(1+0.056)(1+01.64)(1-0.042))^{\frac{1}{4}}-1=\sqrt[4]{1.317687706368}-1\\\\ \approx 7.14\%$

Colin is painting figurines. He spends 20 minutes painting each figurine. After painting for 60 minutes, he still has 9 more fig

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$f(t) = -0.05t +12$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must pay attention to the following data supplied:

- f It is the number of figurines that remain to be painted.

- t amount of time, in minutes, that Colin spends painting

- Colin takes 20 minutes painting each figurines.

- After painting 60 min, he still has 9 figurines left. f (60) = 9

If he takes 20 minutes painting 1, it means that in 60 minutes he has painted 3 and he has 9 left.

Then, at the beginning he has 9 +3 figurines to be painted.

$f (0) = 3 + 9\\f (0) = 12$

With these two points we can find the function:

If m is the slope of the line, then:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m = \frac{9-12}{60-0}\\\\m = -0.05\\\\f (t) = -0.05t + c$

Where by definition $c = f(0) = 12$

Finally the formula is:

$f(t) = -0.05t +12$
