Question

copy and complete the sentence below to describe the percentage change of g²/2h after g has increased by 26% and h has decreased by 11%

Answer 1

-78.4%

Explanation:

Lets assume g and h both equal 1.

Base Case:

g, h = 1

g^2/2h = 1^2/2*1 = (1/2)

G has increased by 26% and h has decreased by 11%:

g = 1.26

h = 0.89

g^2/2h = (1,26)^2/(2*(0.89))

g^2/2h =(1,5876)/(1.78)

g^2/2h = 0.89191

Percentage Change:

From (1/2) or 0.5 to 0.89191

(0.5 - 0.8919)/(0.5)

-0.3919/0.5

-78.4%
