Your computer store is having an incredible sale. The price on one model is reduced by 40%. Then the sale price is reduced by another 40%. If x is the computer’s original price, the sale price can be modeled by Your computer store is having an incredible sale. The price on one model is reduced by 40%. Then the sale price is reduced by another 40%. If x is the computer’s original price, the sale price can be modeled by $$ (x-0.4 x)-0.4(x-0.4 x)$$ A. Factor out \((x-0.4 x)\) from each term. Then simplify thre sulting expression. B. resulting expression. b. Use the simplified expression from part (a) to answer these questions. With a 40% reduction followed by a 40% reduction, is the computer selling at 20% of its original price? If not, at what percentage of the original price is it selling?
Place the correct symbol, \(>\) or \(<,\) in the shaded area between the given numbers. Do not use a calculator. Then check your result with a calculator. a. \(3^{\frac{1}{2}} \quad 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\) b. \(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{18} \sqrt{7+18}\)
