Considering the situation described, the classification of the elections is given as follows:

  • David came in first place.
  • Greg came in second place.
  • Victor came in third place.
  • Mac came in fourth place.
  • Bill came in fifth place.

<h3>How to find the classification of the elections?</h3>

We take the situation that is described, and build the classification from it. The classification has the following format:

P1 - P2 - P3 - P4 - P5

With P1 being the first placed candidate, P2 being the second placed candidate, and so on until P5 which is the fifth placed candidate.

From the text given in this problem, we have that:

  • Victor finished in third place, and David beat him, hence P3 = Victor, David = P1 or P2.
  • Greg didn't come in first nor in last, hence, considering that Victor is P3, Greg = P2 or P4.
  • Mac didn't win, but he finished higher than Bill, hence, considering that Mac didn't win and that Victor is P3, Mac = P4, Bill = P5.
  • From the bullet points above, we can conclude that David = P1, Greg = P2.

Hence the places of each candidate are given as follows:

  • David came in first place.
  • Greg came in second place.
  • Victor came in third place.
  • Mac came in fourth place.
  • Bill came in fifth place.

NeTakaya

Answer:

The statements (c) and (d) are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula to compute the compound interest is:

C=P(1+r)^{t}

Here,

P = principal amount

r = rate of interest

t = time

The function provided to determine the amount of money compounded in Will's savings account is:

C=1906(1.03)^{t}

On comparing the two equations it can be seen that:

1+r=1.03\\r=1.03-1\\r=0.03

So the interest rate is, 3%.

So, the number 1.03 implies that Will's savings account increases by 3% each year.

And the growth factor of Will's savings account is 1.03.

Thus, the statements (c) and (d) are correct.

Write a formula to help Jaheed determine the
agasfer [191]

Answer:

n=m(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

n is the dependent variable m is the independent variable.

how many cartons, depends on how many liters are in a carton.

how many he needs to buy= the amount in carton× how ever much is in his recipe

for example

if they're are let's say 1.5 liters per carton than m=1.5. and if he needs 15 liters than n= 15

than the equation is

15 = 1.5 \times x

x is how many cartons he needs to buy

solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 1.5

15 \div 1.5 = x

and x=10 in this scenario

Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable(s).
Aliun [14]
Hi there! The answer is 3, so the last option is correct.

In order to ealuate the expression for the given value of the variable(s), we must plug in the value of x into the equation.

-x2 - 4x; x = –3
We get the following

- ( - 3) {}^{2}  - 4 \times  - 3 =
Use PEMDAS, so work out the exponents first.

- 9 - 4 \times  - 3
Now multiply and remember that a negative times a negatives gives you a positive outcome.

- 9 + 12 =
Add.

3
Therefore, the answer is 3.
