Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they sold 75% of the raffle tickets and the total is 100 raffle tickets, you simply need to find 75% of 100. To find x% of a, you simply convert x% to a decimal by dividing by 100 and then multiplying it by a. So the general formula to find x% of a would be: $a*\frac{x}{100}$ . In this case a=100, and x=75. So you have the equation: $100*\frac{75}{100} = \frac{100 * 75}{100}=\frac{75}{1} = 75$

Answer: 75 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

- percentages are out of 100, they are a rate, number, or amount in each hundred

- for example, (10/100) x 100 (because it’s out of 100) = 10%
- or it could be (6/40) x 100 (because it’s out of 100) = 15%

- so because they started with 100 tickets, it’s just (75/100) x 100 =75

hope this helps :)

The table below shows selected points from a function.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate Of Change Of Functions

Given a function y=f(x), the rate of change of f can be computed as the slope of the tangent line in a specific point (by using derivatives), or an approximation by computing the slope of a secant line between two points (a,b) (c,d) that belong to the function. The slope can be calculated with the formula

$\displaystyle m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$

If this value is calculated with any pair of points and it always results in the same, then the function is linear. If they are different, the function is non-linear.

Let's take the first two points from the table (1,1)(2,4)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-1}{2-1}=3$

Now, we use the second and the third point (2,4) (3,9)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{9-4}{3-2}=5$

This difference in values of the slope is enough to state the function is non-linear

What is the solution set of x2 + 5x + 1 = 0?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\left\{-\dfrac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2};\ \dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}\right\}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+5x+1=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula:}\\\\\text{For}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\text{if}\ \Delta < 0,\ \text{then the equation has no real solution}\\\text{if}\ \Delta=0,\ \text{then the equation has one real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}\\\text{if}\ \Delta>0,\ \text{then the equation has two real solution}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\text{We have}\\\\a=1,\ b=5,\ c=1\\\\\Delta=5^2-4(1)(1)=25-4=21>0\\\\x=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{21}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}$
