A grocery store had 38 employees but then they hired 4 more people. What is the percent change in their staff?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

+ 10.53 % change

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change is   4 more people added to 38

   4 / 38  * 100% = 10.53 %

Answer 2
38+4=42
38=100%
42=42/38 X 100% =110 10/19%
110 10/19% - 100% = 10 10/19%

What is a function ?

A function is a law that relate the independent variable and the dependent variable.

It is given that

The graph of F(x), shown below, resembles the graph of G(x)= x², but it has been changed

From the graph, it is seen that,

G(x) when shifted by -4 on the negative x axis.

and graph shifted by +4 on the positive y axis.

F(x) is scaled by a factor of -⅓ of G(x)

it is reflected across the x-axis.

So the equation of the function is

F(x) = -3(x-4)² +4

Determine which sequences of transformations could be applied to the parent function f(x) = x to obtain the graph of g.

Answers

Answer:

Reflect over the y-axis, vertically stretch by a factor of 3, and then shift down 1 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:  [tex]f(x)=x[/tex]

The graph of the parent function is a straight line graph that intersects the axes at the origin (0, 0) and has a positive slope of 1 unit.

To determine the sequence of transformations, find the equation of the transformed function in slope--intercept form.

Slope-intercept form of a linear function:  [tex]f(x)=mx+b[/tex]

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

To calculate the slope of the transformed function, choose two points on the line and use the slope formula:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, -1)Let (x₂, y₂) = (1, -4)

[tex]\implies \sf slope\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-4-(-1)}{1-0}=-3[/tex]

The y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) of the transformed function is (0, -1).

Therefore the equation of the transformed function is:

[tex]g(x)=-3x-1[/tex]

[tex]f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}[/tex]

[tex]y=a\:f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the y-axis (vertically) by a factor of}\:a[/tex]

[tex]y=f(ax) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the x-axis (horizontally) by a factor of} \: \dfrac{1}{a}[/tex]

Let simplify the identity

[tex] \frac{ \csc {}^{2} (x) - \sec {}^{2} (x) }{ \csc {}^{2} (x) + \sec {}^{2} (x) } [/tex]

[tex] \frac{ \frac{1}{ \sin {}^{2} (x) } - \frac{1}{ \cos {}^{2} (x) } }{ \frac{1}{ \sin {}^{2} (x) } + \frac{1}{ \cos {}^{2} (x) } } [/tex]

Combine Like Fractions

[tex] \frac{ \frac{ \cos {}^{2} (x) - \sin {}^{2} (x) }{ \sin {}^{2} (x) \cos {}^{2} (x) } }{ \frac{ \sin {}^{2} (x) + \cos {}^{2} (x) }{ \cos {}^{2} (x) \sin {}^{2} (x) } } [/tex]

Multiply by reciprocals.

[tex] \frac{ \cos {}^{2} (x) - \sin {}^{2} (x) }{ \sin {}^{2} (x) \cos {}^{2} (x) } \times \frac{ \cos {}^{2} (x) \sin {}^{2} (x) }{ \sin {}^{2} (x) + \cos {}^{2} (x) } [/tex]

Pythagorean Identity

[tex] \frac{ \cos {}^{2} (x) - \sin {}^{2} (x) }{1} [/tex]

Double Angle Identity

[tex] \frac{ \cos(2x) }{1} [/tex]

[tex] \cos(2x) [/tex]

Now, we need to find cos 2x. Given that we have tan x.

Note that

[tex] \cos {}^{2} (x) - \sin {}^{2} (x) = \cos(2x) [/tex]

So let find cos x and tan x.

We know that

[tex] \tan(x) = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } [/tex]

We know that

[tex] \tan(x) = \frac{o}{a} [/tex]

[tex] \sin(x) = \frac{o}{h} [/tex]

[tex] \cos(x) = \frac{a}{h} [/tex]

So naturally,

[tex] \tan(x) = \frac{ \frac{o}{h} }{ \frac{a}{h} } = \frac{o}{a} [/tex]

So we need to find the hypotenuse,

remember Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]h {}^{2} = {o}^{2} + {a}^{2} [/tex]

Here o is 1

h is root of 5.

So

[tex] {h}^{2} = {1}^{2} + ( \sqrt{5} ) {}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {h}^{2} = 1 + 5[/tex]

[tex] {h}^{2} = 6[/tex]

[tex]h = \sqrt{6} [/tex]

Now, we know h, let plug in to find sin x and cos x.

[tex] \sin(x) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} } [/tex]

[tex] \cos(x) = \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{6} } [/tex]

Let's find these values squared

[tex] \sin {}^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]

[tex] \cos {}^{2} (x) = \frac{5}{6} [/tex]

Finally, use the trig identity

[tex] \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

So part I.= 2/3

ii. Use the definition of sine and cosine and Pythagorean theorem

Let sin x= o/h

Let cos x= a/h.

So

sin x squared is

[tex] \sin {}^{2} (x) = \frac{o {}^{2} }{h {}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex] \cos {}^{2} (x) = \frac{ {a}^{2} }{h {}^{2} } [/tex]

By definition,

[tex] \frac{ {o}^{2} }{ {h}^{2} } + \frac{ {a}^{2} }{h {}^{2} } = 1[/tex]

[tex] \frac{ {o}^{2} + a {}^{2} }{h {}^{2} } = 1[/tex]

Remember that

[tex]{ {o}^{2} + {a}^{2} } = {h}^{2} [/tex]

So

[tex] \frac{ {h}^{2} }{h {}^{2} } = 1[/tex]

**Please note that the expression quoted in the question is likely incorrect (see attachment)**

Assuming the expression is:

[tex]\sqrt[3]{64a^6b^7c^9}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Apply radical rule} \quad \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}{ \cdot \sqrt{b}[/tex]

Rewrite 64 as 4³:

Answers

Answer:

 (x-1)^4    +  (y-4)^2  = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Center at 1,4 means the circle is of the form:

   (x-1)^4    +  (y-4)^2  = r^2

Find r^2 using distance formula from center to the given point

 r ^2 = ( 8-4)^2 + (4-1)^2

 r^2 = 16 +9 = 25

so you answer is      (x-4)^4    +  (y-8)^2  = 25

Answers

The difference quotient of the expression will be 4.

How to find the quotient?

f(x) = 5 + 5x + 4x²

f(3) = 5 + 5(3) + 4(3)³

= 56

Now [f(x) - f(3)]/(x - 3) will be:

= (4x² + 5x + 5 - 56)/(x - 3)

= (4x² + 5x - 51)/(x - 3)

= (4x² + 17x - 12x - 5)/(x - 3)

= (4x + 17)(x - 3)/(x - 3)

= 4x + 17

The difference quotient will be:

g(x + h) = 4(x + h) + 17

= [g(x + h) - g(x)]/h

= (4x + 4h + 17 - 4x - 17)/h

= 4h/h

Josh and Bella picked apples from a tree. Josh had 3 less than 2/3 of Bellas apples. If Josh had 7 apples, how many apples did Bella have?

Answers

Answer:

Bella had 15 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you see that Josh has 3 less than 2/3 of Bellas apples. If Josh has 7 apples you would add 3 to 7 which = 10. Assuming that 10 = 2/3 of Bellas apples, then you would subtract half of 10 and get 5. 1/3 = 5 apples. Lastly, you should do 5 * 3 which = 15. Bella had 15 apples.

Which inequality is shown in this graph?
OA. ys-3x+3
OB. y2-3x+3
OC. ys 3x+3
OD. y23x+3

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is shaded below, so we can eliminate B and D.

Also, the line has negative slope, so this eliminates C.

The inequality of the graph is y ≤ -3x + 3.

The correct option is A.

What is inequality?

In mathematics, "inequality" refers to a relationship between two expressions or values that are not equal to each other. To solve the inequality, you may multiply or divide each side by the same positive number, add the same amount to each side, take the same amount away from each side, and more. You must flip the inequality sign if you multiply or divide either side by a negative number.

The inequality graph has two points on the line (0, 2) and (2, -3).

And the shaded region of the graph is left to the line made by points (0, 2) and (2, -3).

The line passing through the points (0,2) and (2,-3) can be written in a slope-intercept form as:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of the line is given by:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-3 - 2) / (2 - 0) = -5/2

The y-intercept can be found by substituting the coordinates of either point into the equation:

y = mx + b

2 = (-5/2)(0) + b

b = 2

So the equation of the line is:

y = (-5/2)x + 2

The shaded region of the graph is to the left of this line. Since the line has a negative slope, any point below the line will satisfy the inequality y ≤ -3x + 3. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Forming the equation :

⇒ We start with a number, x

⇒ Now we double it so : 2(x) = 2x

⇒ Then we add 11 to it : 2x + (11) = 2x + 11

⇒ It is equal to 25 : 2x + 11 = 25

b) Solving the equation :

Subtract 11 from both sides :

⇒ 2x + 11 - 11 = 25 - 11

⇒ 2x = 14

Divide 2 on both sides :

⇒ 2x/2 = 14/2

x = 7
