Well 10%= 1/10 of 100% so you would Multiply 15$ by 10 to get the original price. E.G 15*10=150$

Well we know that 10% is going to equal 1/10 of 100%.
So now just multipy 15% times 10 to get the original price.
Your answer is, <u>$150</u>.

Hope this help's!

An angle bisector always creates two acute angles. find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
An acute angle is an angle that is less than 90°. An angle bisector is a ray drawn along an angle that bisects it into two equal and adjacent parts. Now, if the total angle is, say 270°, which is more than a half circle, it would result to two 135-degree angles. In this case, the angle is no longer acute, but obtuse.

The first three terms of a geometric sequence are shown below. x+3,-2x2-6x,4x3+12x2,.... What is the eighth term of the sequence
nika2105 [10]
So hmm is a geometric sequence, meaning, the next term is found by multiplying it by "something", namely the "common ratio"

now, if the next term is the product of the common ratio and the previous term, that means, if we divide the previous term by the next term, the quotient will then be the "common ratio", let's do that then

let's divide the 2nd term by the 1st term then

\bf \cfrac{-2x^2-6x}{x+3}\implies \cfrac{-2x\underline{(x+3)}}{\underline{(x+3)}}\implies \boxed{-2x}\impliedby \textit{common ratio}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\&#10;a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{value of first term}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=x+3\\&#10;n=8\\&#10;r=-2x&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_8=(x+3)(-2x)^{8-1}\implies a_8=(x+3)(-2x)^7&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_8=(x+3)(-2^7x^7)\implies a_8=(x+3)(-128x^7)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_8=-128x^8-384x^7

Which statements are true Select three options.
BARSIC [14]

The line x = 0 is perpendicular to the line y = -3:

Correct. Any horizontal line (y = a) and any vertical line (x = b) intersect at some point and are perpendicular.

All lines that are parallel to the y-axis are vertical lines:

Correct. The y-axis is a vertical line, so any lines that are parallel to it must also be vertical.

All lines that are perpendicular to the x-axis have a slope of 0.

Incorrect. Lines that have a slope of 0 are horizontal, and the x-axis is horizontal as well. Any lines with a slope of 0 are <em>parallel </em>to the x-axis, not perpendicular to it.

The equation of the line parallel to the x-axis that passes through the point (2, 6) is x = 2.

Incorrect. x = 2 is a vertical line, and vertical lines cannot be parallel to the horizontal x-axis. x = 2 is perpendicular to the x-axis, however.

The equation of the line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (-5, 1) is y = 1.

Correct. The line y = 1 is horizontal, and the y-axis is a vertical line. Because the line y = 1 crosses the y-axis, the lines are perpendicular.
