Explanation Given: The radical p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 . Explanation: Multiply the expression by 1: p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 = p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 ⋅ 1 Rewrite 1 as follows and use the algebraic identities ( a + b ) ⋅ ( a − b ) = a 2 − b 2 and ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b : p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 ⋅ 1 = p + p 2 − 1 p − p 2 − 1 ⋅ p + p 2 − 1 p + p 2 − 1 = ( p + p 2 − 1 ) ( p <

Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

5) You are purchasing a game for $30. You have a 5% off coupon and sales tax is 5%. What will your final price be? Does it matter if you take off the coupon first or add in the tax first? 6) You have ten coupons that allow you to take 10% off the sales price of a jacket, and for some strange reason, the store is going to allow you to use all ten coupons! Does this mean you get the jacket for free? Let's really think about what would happen at the checkout. First, the teller would scan the price tag on the jacket, and the computer would show the price is $100. After the teller scans the first coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $100, and show the price is $90. (Right? Think about why this is.) Then after the teller scans the second coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $90. (a) Continue this reasoning to fill in the table below showing the price of the jacket (y) after you apply x coupons. (b) Make a graph showing the price of the jacket from x = 0 to x = 10 coupons applied.…
