0.2% = 2/100

increase amount over the whole amount

If the increase length is 1cm and you are looking for the whole amount

2/100 = 1/x

Cross multiply
2x = 100
x = 50 cm is the original length of the bar

Checking you answer,
0.2% of 50 is 0.02 × 50 which is 1 so the answer is correct.

The original length of the bar is 50 cm.

Answer:

$4x^5\sqrt[3]{3x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure I understand the problem, but I think it's this:

$\sqrt[3]{16x^7} \times \sqrt[3]{12x^9} =$

$= \sqrt[3]{16 \times 12 \times x^{16}}$

$= \sqrt[3]{192 \times x^{15} \times x}$

$= \sqrt[3]{64 \times 3 \times (x^5)^3 \times x}$

$= \sqrt[3]{4^3 \times 3 \times (x^5)^3 \times x}$

$= 4x^5\sqrt[3]{3x}$

Consider the circle of radius 10 centered at the origin. provide answers accurate to two decimal places. (a) the equation of the

Shkiper50 [21]

(a) The equation of the tangent line can be written as
.. 3(x +6) -4(y -8) = 0
.. 3x -4y = -50
.. y = (3/4)x +25/2 . . . the equation of the tangent line

(b) The point of tangency will be the intersection of the circle with the perpendicular line through the circle center, y = (-1/5)x. A graphing calculator shows that point to be
.. (9.81, -1.96)

anzhelika [568]

Answer is C
14.2+6.5(p+3q)-4.05q
14.2+6.5p+19.5q-4.05q
14.2+6.5p+15.45q→6.5p+15.45q+14.2
so the answer is C

The profit earned by a sporting goods outlet is modeled in the graph below, where x is the number of years since the outlet open

LenaWriter [7]

The domain would be x ≥ 0.

This is because the outlet cannot have profit before it was open. Therefore, the growth must be from year 0 to present. If they give a year as starting, you can have an upper limit too, but there is not enough information here to determine that information.
