first question is b, 3.04. To find the percentage decrease, we calculate: Decrease percentage = 24% Decrease decimal = 0.24 (24% converted to decimal) To find the new price after a percentage decrease: New Price = Original Price x (1 - Decrease Decimal) New Price = $4.00 x (1 - 0.24) New Price = $4.00 x 0.76 New Price = $3.04 Great video! thx.

@LishaGirli 4 ай бұрын

@@lifeasterrika4431I figured it out. If it’s increase then you add 1 to the decimal version of the percentage. If it’s decrease, you do the opposite, so subtract. Then you multiply the result by the original price. So for example if you had an original price of $5 and you had to figure out how much it is after you take the price down by 20%, then here’s what you would do. First, take 1 and subtract the decimal version of 20 from it, (just the number behind a decimal) so 1-0.20 which would get you 0.80 Then multiply the original price, 5, by that. So 5 times .80 Your result will be 4. I recommend you practice this skill and I hope my comment helped!!

A quicker way to solve the question (49): if you rearrange the binomials you will see that it's in fact the difference between two squares (-6i+6)(6i+6) -> (6-6i)(6+6i) "the difference between two squares: a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b)" so (6)² - (-6i)² which is 36 - 36i² (i² = -1) so simplified it's 36+36 = 72 It will save about 4~6 seconds, but it's the act and every second matters.

1:09 do you always divide it by four for equations like this or did you only divide it by four bc it asks for 1/4 of the volume? (So if it were to be like 1/7 i would divide by seven?) (And what would i do if i had a number like 2/3?)

this was bc it's 1/4 of the volume! you'd divide by 7 in that case, yes. if the question asked for 2/3 of the volume, you would just multiply the volume by 2/3, which is the same as multiplying by 2 and dividing by 3

The equivalent MIT of Greece (Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki Electrical And Computer Engineering) is ranked 400 compared to other great universities. They try to drown us with knowledge before we are ready and still suck in competition with others. imagine just that.

how does dividing 244 by 4 mean that the 244th digit will be 7?

@OverclockingCowboy 12 күн бұрын

When you divide 244 by 4, you get 61 with no remainder. It means that you hit the 4th digit, which is 7. In the given problem, the number repeats every 4 digits 1497 1497 1497 etc The 4th, 8th, 12th digits are all divisible by 4 with no remainder. You get 7. If you continue until the 244th digit, you also get 7. In other words, just look for the remainder after dividing by 4. 245/4 = 61, remainder 1. The answer is the first digit 1. 246/4 = 61, remainder 2. The answer is the second digit 4. 248/4 = 62, no remainder. The answer is the fourth digit 7.

It’s a trig question, look at the given angle (not the right angle) in this case 41. Look for what the question asks for. Use any values already given to know which one to use (sin cos tan). The side touching the given angle is adjacent. The problem asks for car to house distance (not given so use x) which is opposite angle, so you know to use tan. You would set it up like Tan(given angle) = opposit/adjacent The calculator should do the rest for you. if x ends up on same side as sin cos or tan put it over 1 and cross mulitply like any equation. If your actual problem doesn’t give an angle just use the inverse. Sorry it’s long, hopefully this helps, good luck!!
