Marina simplified the expression 4x + 5(–4x – b) – (x – 2) to be –17x – 8.
What was the value of b?
A. –6
B. –2
C. 2
D. 10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by removing the brackets

4x + 5(-4x - b) = -16x - 5b

-(x - 2) = -x + 2

Add the two binomials together to get the third one

4x -20x - 5b - x + 2 = -17x - 8                 Combine the like terms on both sides

-17x - 5b +2 = -17x - 8                             Add 17x to both sides

-5b + 2 = - 8                                           Subtract 2 from both sides

-5b +2 -2 =- 8 -2                                     Combine    

-5b =  - 10                                               Divide by -5

b = -10/-5

b = 2

In an election for school president, the loser received 70% of the winner's votes. If 969 votes were cast, how many did each receive?

Answers

Answer:

The ans would be 291 (however we can round this off to 290 as no can partially vote as 0.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily find the loser's vote by-

70% of 969= 678.9

now, all we need to do is find the winners vote

we know that the total no. of votes= 969 & we know the no. of votes loser got

so, subtracting the losers vote from 969 would give us the remaining no. of votes (the winner's votes)....so,

969-678.9=290.1

we can round this off to 290

 

There was a study done on oxygen consumption of snails as a function of pH, and the result was a degree 4 polynomial whose graph is shown.

Which of the following statements about this function is INCORRECT?​

Answers

Answer:

A. There is a positive leading coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomials can be represented as an equation or graphs.

The incorrect option is: (b) There is a positive leading coefficient.

The polynomial has a degree of 4; this means that the degree of the polynomial is even.

So option (a) The degree of the polynomial is even is true

From the graph, we can see that the function decreases at (7<x<8) and (9<x<10)

This means that, the function decreases at two intervals

So option (d) There are two intervals where the function is decreasing is also true

Also, the function is at maximum at x = 7 and x = 9.

This means that:

Option (c) At two pH values, there is a relative maximum value

Hence, the incorrect option is:

(b) There is a positive leading coefficient.

This is so because, the graph decreases at some points on the graph.

This means that, the graph has a negative leading coefficient.

Answer:

18.6cm (rounded to 3 s.f.)  

Step-by-step explanation:

You can actually figure out the two bases of the triangles based on the Pythagoras theorem where the slant length of a 90° triangle is [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} }[/tex] where a is one of the bases and b is the other length that is 90° perpendicular to a.

So this means:

[tex]\sqrt{6^{2} + base^{2} }[/tex] = 8cm

6² + base² = 64cm

36 + base² = 64

base² = 64-36

          = 28

base = [tex]\sqrt{28}[/tex]

        ≈ 5.2915 (5 s.f.)

So the two bases are roughly 5.2915, and the middle base is part of a rectangle, so it has the same length as the rectangle's length, which is 8cm.

Thus, x = 5.2915 + 5.2915 + 8

            = 18.6cm (rounded to 3 s.f.)

4. Elena's account balance with her parents is

money to her balance by mowing the lawn.
Elena now has an account balance less than
$20. Determine a possible amount she
earned mowing the lawn. Then interpret the
solution. (Example 1) moll end to bi

Answers

Answer:

-$5.50>x>$20

Elena has more than -$5.50 but less than $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the question says that Elena has -$5.50 in her account. That means that she owes someone ( the bank) $5.50.

Elena then mows the lawn which may have paid off her debt. But we don't know that for sure.

All they give us is that Elena has less than $20 in her bank account.

So your answer may look like this:

-$5.50>x>$20

Elena has more than -$5.50 but less than $20.

Elena earned, amount more than -$5.50 and less than $20 by mowing the lawn.

What is Inequality?

If two real numbers or the algebraic expressions are related by the symbols>”, “<”, “”, “”, then the relation is called an inequality.

For example, x>3 (x should be greater than 3)

Given,

Account balance of Elena with her parents = -$5.50.

Which means she is in debt of $5.50.

Elena then  adds a certain amount of money to her balance by mowing the lawn,

which may have paid off her debt, that is not sure.

But,

Account balance of Elena after mowing the lawn is more than - $5.50 less than $20.

Let the money Elena earned by Elena earned mowing the lawn  = x

Then,

Possible amount she earned mowing the lawn = -$5.50 < x <$20.

Hence, Possible amount Elena earned mowing the lawn is

between -$5.50 and $20 = -$5.50 < x < 20.

. Jordan is inviting 8 friends to his party. He wants to give each friend 2 maracas and have 2 for himself. Maracas come in boxes of 6. How many boxes does he need to buy? +​

Answers

Answer:

3 boxes of maracas

Step-by-step explanation:

9 x 2 = 18

18 ÷ 6 = 3 boxes of maracas

Answer:

He needs to get three boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he wants two, we know that he has eight friends coming. He wants two maracas per friend. To find the total number of maracas you must multiply the amount of friends by the amount of maracas.

8 * 2= 16

You add the two maracas for himself to find the total maracas needed.

16+2= 18

Next you divide the amount of maracas needed by six because the are six maracas per box.

18÷6=3

The total number of boxes needed is three

(1 point) A pond contains 100 fish, of which 40 are carp. If 20 fish are caught from the lake, what are the mean and variance of the number of carp among those 20

Answers

Answer:

E(X) = 6

Var(X) = 3.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of carp caught out of the 20 fishes caught. Now, if we are to assume that each

of the (100, 20) ways to catch the 20 fishes will be equally likely.

Thus, we can say that X fulfills a hypergeometric

distribution with parameters as follows;

n = 20, N = 100, k = 30

Formula for expected mean value in hypergeometric distribution is;

E(X) = nk/N

E(X) = (20 × 30)/100

E(X) = 6

Formula for variance is;

Var(X) = (nk/N) × [((n - 1)(k - 1)/(N-1))) + (1 - nk/N)]

Var(X) = ((20 × 30)/100) × [((20 - 1)(30 - 1)/(100 - 1)) + (1 - (20 × 30/100)]

Var(X) = 6 × 0.5657

Var(X) = 3.394

Abbey receives a $40 gift card for downloading music and wants to determine how many songs she can purchase. Each downloaded song costs $2.89 a. Let m represents the number of songs downloaded.

Answers

Answer:

A. $2.89(m)=$40

B. 13 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.89(m)=$40

m=$40/$2.89

m=13.84

She can download a maximum of 13 songs

Check:

$2.89 (13 songs)=$37.57

$40-$37.57=$2.43 left on her gift card

m=13.84, check that 0.84 of the cost of a song is left over 0.84*$2.89=$2.43

Answer:

13 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

40 divided by 2.89 is 13.84. DO NOT ROUND TO 14

So its a maximum of 13 songs, otherwise it will cost 40.46 for 14 songs

Write an equation of the parabola that passes through the point (62,−490) and has x-intercepts −8 and 72. Then find the average rate of change from x=−8 to x=2.

Answers

Answer:

y =  0.7(x^2 - 64x - 576)

Average rate of change = -49.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the x intercepts are -8 and 72 we can write the equation

y = a(x + 8)(x - 72)     where a is some constant to be found.

As it passes through point  (62, -490) we have, substituting:

-490 = a(62+8)(62-72)

-490 =  - 700a

a = 0.7

So the equation of the parabola

y = 0.7(x + 8)(x - 72) or

y =  0.7(x^2 - 64x - 576).

Average rate of change between x = -8 and x = 2

=  [0.7(2+ 8)(2 - 72) -  0.7(-8+8)(-8-72)] / (2 - -8)

= -490 - 0 /10

= -49
