The price of gas was $2.49 last month. This month, gas costs $2.79. What is
the percent increase?

Answers

Answer 1
2.79 - 2.49 = .30

then divide the amount increased by the original number and multiply by 100

.3 / 2.49 x 100 = 12%
Answer 2

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

2.79 - 2.49 = $0.30

0.30 / 2.49 = 0.12 = 12% (decimal changes to percent)

You can check your work by doing original cost times the decimal of the percent increase. $2.49 * 0.12 = $0.30. Add this to original -> 0.30 + 2.49 = $2.79.

Answers

we know 20% is 15
and now we find 80%

since 20% x 4 = 80%, we can multiply 15 by 4 to get 80% of 75

15 x 4 = 60

80% of 75 = 60

Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from the point ( 0 , 2 ) and ( 0 , -2 ) is 6.
~Thanks in advance ! ​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the locus of a point such that the sum of the distance from any point P on the locus to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.

First, we will need the distance formula, given by:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Let the point on the locus be P(x, y).

So, the distance from P to (0, 2) will be:

[tex]\begin{aligned} d_1&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

And, the distance from P to (0, -2) will be:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d_2&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

So sum of the two distances must be 6. Therefore:

[tex]d_1+d_2=6[/tex]

Now, by substitution:

[tex](\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2})+(\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2})=6[/tex]

Simplify. We can subtract the second term from the left:

[tex]\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=6-\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]

Square both sides:

[tex](x^2+(y-2)^2)=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+(x^2+(y+2)^2)[/tex]

We can cancel the x² terms and continue squaring:

[tex]y^2-4y+4=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+y^2+4y+4[/tex]

We can cancel the y² and 4 from both sides. We can also subtract 4y from both sides. This leaves us with:

[tex]-8y=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]

We can divide both sides by -4:

[tex]2y=-9+3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]

Adding 9 to both sides yields:

[tex]2y+9=3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]

And, we will square both sides one final time.

[tex]4y^2+36y+81=9(x^2+(y^2+4y+4))[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]4y^2+36y+81=9x^2+9y^2+36y+36[/tex]

The 36y will cancel. So:

[tex]4y^2+81=9x^2+9y^2+36[/tex]

Subtracting 4y² and 36 from both sides yields:

[tex]9x^2+5y^2=45[/tex]

And dividing both sides by 45 produces:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1[/tex]

Therefore, the equation for the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6 is given by a vertical ellipse with a major axis length of 3 and a minor axis length of √5, centered on the origin.

Find the surface area of the cuboid shown below

Answers

Answer:

Surface area of cuboid = 352 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of cuboid = 8 cm

Length of cuboid = 12 cm

Width of cuboid = 4 cm

Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw

Putting all the values;

Surface area = 2*12*4 + 2*12*8 + 2*8*4

Surface area = 96 + 192 + 64

Surface area = 352 cm

Hence,

Surface area of cuboid = 352 cm

Answers

Answer:

1.) -2

2.) -2

3.) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we can't make a graph, we can make a table

(-5,13) and (1,1)

x       y

-5      13

1        1

From 13 to 1, you subtract 12 ( y-section)

From -5 to 1, you add 6 (x-section)

Now we can do y/x

y/x = 12/6 = -2

The slope for this first one is (-2).

(-5,14) and (12,-21)

x           y

-5          14

12         -21

From 14 to -21, you subtract 34

From -5 to 12, you add 17

Now we can do y/x

y/x = -34/17 = -2

The slope for this second one is (-2)

(1,1 )and (12,-21)​

x        y

1        12

12     -21

From 12 to 21, you subtract 33

From 1 to 12, you add 11

Now we can do y/x

y/x = -33/11 = -3

The slope for this third one is (-3)

The measure of the seventh angle in the heptagon is 125 degrees.

What is Polygon?

A polygon is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain.

We are given the measures of six angles in the heptagon, which are:

95, 107, 132, 138, 145, and 158 degrees

Sum of angles in Heptagon is 900 degrees.

To find the measure of the seventh angle, we can subtract the sum of the six known angles from the sum of all the angles in the heptagon:

Measure of the seventh angle = Sum of angles - Sum of known angles

Measure of the seventh angle = 900 degrees - (95 + 107 + 132 + 138 + 145 + 158) degrees

Measure of the seventh angle = 900 degrees - 775 degrees

Measure of the seventh angle = 125 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the seventh angle in the heptagon is 125 degrees.

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come you with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life." No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse's residence late at night. "You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking. "What is that?" said the Country Mouse. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only!" said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner." Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "What! going so soon?" said the other.
