Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
8 x
16 100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
What do you mean by that?
Step-by-step explanation:
Then collect like terms
answer is x = 4
Ok, so the function form is y = a * bx.
Substitute in the values:
750 = a * b5
and
48 = a * b2
Then divide the two equations:
750/ 48 = (a * b5) / (a * b2)
So:
15.625 = b3
Take the cube root of both sides:
2.5 = b
Now, substitue b into one of the equations (the one with 48 has smaller numbers and is easier to work with.)
48 = a * 2.52
Simplify.
48 = a * 6.25
Divide both sides by 6.25
7.68 = a
Now substitute in a and b to write the exponential function:
y = 7.68 * 2.5x

Answer: Midpoint</h3>
Explanation:
The drawings you made are constructions of the perpendicular bisector. The "perpendicular" refers to the fact the second line meets the first line at a right angle (aka 90 degree angle). The "bisector" portion indicates the segment has been bisected, which is mathematical way of saying "cut in half".
The key here is the "bisector" portion. Because we've cut a segment like AB in half, this means segment AC and CB are the same length. The point C is the midpoint of AB. Point C is formed by intersecting the perpendicular bisector and the original segment. I'm referring to drawing (a), but the same idea applies to drawing (b) as well. I recommend using another letter than C for the second drawing.
