Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
If you are in college, this question is likely done with calculus.
a = 12
k = 0.2
v(x) = 0 at the maximum after differentiation
V(x) = kx(a - x)
The easiest way to do this is to remove the brackets.
V(x) = akx - kx^2 Substitute the constants
V(x) = 12*0.2*x - 0.2x^2
V(x)/dx = 2.4 - 0.4x = 0 at the maximum
2.4 - 0.4x = 0
0.4x = 2.4
x = 2.4/0.4
x = 6
If you don't know any calculus yet, you can do this by completing the square.
Answer:
103.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent change you will need to divide 621 by 600.
621/600 = 1.035
Multiply 1.035 by 100 to find the percent
(1.035)(100) = 103.5
Therefore, the value increased by 103.5%.
