The New pay in current year is = $ 2225

The old pay in the last year was = $ 2176

percentage (%) increase formula = (new value- old value ) *100 / old value

which becomes,,

$\frac{2225-2176}{2176} *100$

which equals to 2.3% .

Hence, the average net pay per month increased is 2.3% .

Answer:

percentage increase in salary = 2.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

This year monthly pay $2225

last year monthly pay $2176

change in monthly salary is = this year salary - last year salary

= 2225 - 2176 = 49

average average net pay increase in month is given as

percentage increase $= \frac{change\ in\ monthly\ salary}{last\ year\ salary} \100$

percentage increase in salary $= \frac{49}{2176} \times 100$

percentage increase in salary = 2.3%

Find a right triangle that has legs with your irrational Lengths and a hypotenuse with a rational Length

cluponka [151]

gg easy

the legs of a triangle are related as $a^2+b^2=c^2$ wehre a, b, and c are the legs and the hypotonuse of a triangle respectively

let's find some stuff

one easy way is to find a rational value for c find values of a and b

lets pick c=5

$a^2+b^2=5^2$

$a^2+b^2=25$

now split up 25 into 2 things that don't have rational square roots

if we say $a^2=19$ and $b^2=6$ then we get

$a=\sqrt{19}$ and $b=\sqrt{6}$ (which are both irrational)

Which could be the graph of f(x) = |x - h| + k if h and k are both positive? On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x - h| + k has a vertex at (h, k), where both h and k are positive. Only

"On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at (2, 1)" satisfies those requirements.

If x varies jointly as y and z, and x = 8 when y = 4 and z = 9, find z when x = 16 and y = 6. 3

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Joint variation says that:

if $x \propto y$ and $x \propto z$

then the equation is in the form of:

$x = kyz$ , where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

If x varies jointly as y and z

then by definition we have;

$x=k(yz)$ ......[1]

Solve for k;

when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9

then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

$8=k(4 \cdot 9)$

⇒ $8 = 36k$

Divide both sides by 36 we have;

$\frac{8}{3}=k$

Simplify:

$k = \frac{2}{9}$

⇒ $x = \frac{2}{9}yz$

to find z when x = 16 and y = 6

Substitute these value we have;

$16 = \frac{2}{9} \cdot 6 \cdot z$

⇒ $16 = \frac{12}{9}z$

Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

$144 = 12z$

Divide both sides by 12 we have;

12 = z

or

z = 12

Therefore, the value of z is, 12

Match the following items by evaluating the expression for x = -6.

Kryger [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value of x = -6 to all expressions:

$x^{-2}=(-6)^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{(-6)^2}=\dfrac{1}{6}\qquad\text{used}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\=====================\\x^{-1}=(-6)^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{(-6)^1}=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\=====================\\x^0=(-6)^0=1\qquad a^0=1\ \text{for all real numbers except 0}\\=====================\\x^1=(-6)^1=-6\qquad a^1=a\ \text{for all real numbers}\\=====================\\x^2=(-6)^2=36$
