Write a proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 40%.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

 

50 points corresponds to a 100% grade.  How many points (x) correspond to a 40% grade?

     x            40%

------------ = ---------

50 pts       100%

Then 100x = 2000, and so x = 20.

A score of 20 points would correspond with a test score of 40%.  

Answer 2

Answer:

A score of 20 points would correspond with a test score of 40%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

    x            40%           How many points (x) correspond to a 40% grade?

------------ = ---------

50 pts       100%          50 points corresponds to a 100% grade.  


100x = 2000                divide both sides by 100


x = 20

Tom is riding his bike to the store. After 2
minutes he has traveled 3 blocks, after 6
minutes, he has traveled 9 blocks. Find his
average speed in blocks per minute.
O 1.5 blocks per minute
O 2/3 blocks per minute
O 3.2 blocks per minute
06 blocks per minute

Answers

Hello!

The answer is:

The correct option is the first option, the average speed in blocks per minute is 1.5 blocks per minute.

[tex]AverageSpeed=1.5\frac{Block}{minute}[/tex]

Why?

To calculate the average speed we need to calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken to cover that distance.

From the statement we know that:

[tex]Distance_{1}=3blocks\\Distance_{2}=9blocks-3blocks=6blocks\\time_{1}=2minutes\\time_{2}=6minutes[/tex]

So, we need to use the following formula in order to calculate the average speed:

[tex]AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}}{t_{1}+t_{2}}[/tex]

Then, substituting we have:

[tex]AverageSpeed=\frac{3blocks+9blocks}{2minutes+6minutes}[/tex]

[tex]AverageSpeed=\frac{12blocks}{8minutes}=1.5\frac{blocks}{minutes}[/tex]

Hence, we have that the correct option is the first option, the average speed in blocks per minute is 1.5 blocks per minute.

[tex]AverageSpeed=1.5\frac{Block}{minute}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(28): sqrt(4*7)

sqrt(4) = 2;

sqrt28)=2*sqrt(7)

sqrt(343): sqrt(7 * 7 * 7) = 7 * sqrt(7)

Note: the rule is if you have 3 equal primes under the root sign, you leave one, you throw one away, and you put one outside the root sign.

2 sqrt(63) = 2 sqrt(3*3*7)  The above rule gets modified to throw 1 three away and take the other one outside the root sign.

2sqrt(63) = 2*3 sqrt(7)

Numerator: 2*sqrt(7) + 7sqrt(7) = 9sqrt(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul, Colin and Brian are waiters.

One night the restaurant earns tips totalling £77.40

They share the tips in the ratio 1:3:5

Paul gets [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] × £77.40 = £8.60

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,7) and (4, - 1)?

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

m = slope ([tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}[/tex])

b = y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)

It doesn't matter which coordinate pair you use for (x₁,y₁).

(x₁,y₁) = (2,7)

(x₂,y₂) = (4,-1)

[tex]\frac{-1 - 7}{4 - 2}[/tex]   Simplify

[tex]\frac{-8}{2}[/tex]   Simplify

-4 = your slope (m)

To get this information into slope-intercept form, you have to plug it into point-slope form, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). It doesn't matter which coordinate pair you use for (x₁,y₁).

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)   Let's use (2,7) since it doesn't have negatives.

y - 7 = -4 (x - 2)   Distribute

y - 7 = -4x + 8   Add 7 to both sides

y = -4x + 15

Check your answer by plugging both coordinate pairs in.

y = -4x + 15

7 = -4(2) + 15

7 = -8 + 15

7 = 7

and

-1 = -4(4) + 15

-1 = -16 + 15

-1 = -1

Answer:

y = -4x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

m = -y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂

Find the Rate of change [Slope] using the above formula:

-7 - 1\-2 + 4 = -4

Next, we use the Point-Slope Formula [y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)] to convert to Slope-Intercept Formula [y = mx + b]:

y + 1 = -4[x - 4]

y + 1 = -4x + 16

- 1 - 1

Y= 2x
-6x+3y=16
Solve using substitution

Answers

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution means to replace the variable with the one provided, in this problem we have been given y = 2x, so we would simply replace the y variable in the second equation with 2x.

Review over what we have been given

y = 2x

-6x + 3y = 16

As explained above, substitute the y value in the second equation with the contents of the first equation.

-6x + 3(2x) = 16

In this step, you can solve for the value of x.

-6x + 6x = 16

Since both of the x variables cancel out, we cannot find the value of x since it equals to zero, which also means we cannot find the value of y.

0 = 16

Generally, we find the value of our x, then we would input that into the first equation to find the value of y.

But as stated above, there is no value of x, therefore there is no solution.

Which constant would you add to the RIGHT side of the
quadratic equation in order to solve by completing the
square? Remember, this is a two-step process​

Answers

ANSWER

The correct answer is D

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic expression is

[tex]3 {x}^{2} + 8x = - 1[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]{x}^{2} + \frac{8}{3} x = - \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

We now add the square of half the coefficient of x because the coefficient of the quadratic term is now unity.

The constant we would add is

[tex] {( \frac{4}{3} )}^{2} = \frac{16}{9} [/tex]

The correct answer is D

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation [tex]3x^2+8x=-1[/tex], you can observe that the leading coefficient is not 1, then you have to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

[tex]\frac{3x^2+8x}{3}=\frac{-1}{3}\\\\x^2+\frac{8}{3}x=\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

Now, you can observe that the coefficient of the x-term is [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex], so you must divide it by 2 and square it. Then you get:

[tex](\frac{\frac{8}{3}}{\frac{2}{1}})^2=\frac{16}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, you must add [tex]\frac{16}{9}[/tex] to both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

im very confused on finding y

Answers

Answer:

In this case, you can use the concept of cosine to calculate y, and things are even easier when you have one of the special angles which is a 45° angle.

So we know that: cos45° = √2/2

This fact will always be true. In our case, we have:

cos45° = 7/y

Therefore, we have the equation:

7/y = √2/2

⇔ 14 = y√2

⇔ y   = 14/√2

⇔ y   = √196/√2 = √(196/2) = √98 = 7√2

So y is equal to 7√2

Answer:

7√2

Step-by-step explanation:

By observation, we can determine that because this is a right angle triangle with one of the internal angles = 45°, that the remaining unknown angle is also 45°, which makes this an isosceles triangle.

This means that x = 7

we can find y by using the Pythagorean equation:

y² = x² + 7²

y² = 7² + 7²

y² = 98

y = √98 = 7√2

EXPLANATION

The given function is:

[tex]f(x) = {x}^{2} [/tex]

and

[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{2x + 3} [/tex]

[tex]g(f(x)) = g( {x}^{2} )[/tex]

[tex]g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{2{x}^{2} + 3 } [/tex]

To find g(f(-1)), we substitute x=-1, to obtain;

[tex]g(f( - 1)) = \frac{1}{2{( - 1)}^{2} + 3 } [/tex]

We simplify the square in the denominator to get,

[tex]g(f( - 1)) = \frac{1}{2+ 3 } [/tex]

We now add the denominator to obtain;

Monarch butterflies flap their wings about 12 times a second in
flight. How many times do they flap their wings in 1 hour of flight?​

Answers

Remember: 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in one hour.
So if butterflies flap 12 times per second, multiply that number by 60 to get how many times the butterfly flaps their wings in a minute. then, multiply that number by 60 again to get the flaps of number per minute.
12x60=720x60=43,200

Monarch butterflies flap their wings 12 times per second. Over the course of one hour, which is 3600 seconds, they flap their wings approximately 43,200 times.

Monarch butterflies flap their wings about 12 times per second. To figure out how many times they flap their wings in 1 hour, we need to calculate the total number of seconds in an hour and then multiply that by the flapping rate.

Step 1: Calculate the number of seconds in one hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes1 minute = 60 secondsTherefore, 1 hour = 60 minutes × 60 seconds/minute = 3600 seconds

Step 2: Multiply the number of seconds by the flapping rate.

12 flaps/second × 3600 seconds = 43,200 flaps

So, Monarch butterflies flap their wings approximately 43,200 times in one hour.

Which Of the following Rational Functions is graphed below ?

Answers

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

If you look at functions B and C, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. The function B is not defined at x= -5/2 and function C is not defined at x=-5. Both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

Now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

By analyzing the vertical asymptotes, we will see that the correct option is A.

How to determine the rational function?

We know that the vertical asymptotes in the graph of a rational function are at the values of x that make the denominator equal to zero.

Here, we can see that we have the asymptotes at x = -2 and at x = 5, so we can assume that the denominator is of the form:

d(x) = (x + 2)*(x - 5)

Now if you look at the options, there is only one that has this denominator, which is A:

The slope of a graphed line is -9 and the y-intercept is (0, -2). What is the
slope-intercept equation of the line?

Answers

Answer:

y = -9x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b)

We have the slope m = -9 and the y-intercept (0, -2) → b = -2.

Substitute:

y = -9x + (-2) = -9x - 2

The slope-intercept equation of a line with a slope of -9 and a y-intercept of (0, -2) is y = -9x - 2.

The slope-intercept equation of a line is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given a slope of -9 and a y-intercept of (0, -2), the slope-intercept equation is y = -9x - 2.

Therefore, the slope-intercept equation of the line is y = -9x - 2.
