Answer:

$8.97\text{ \%}$

Explanation: Over the summer, Nancy exercised daily, and her weight went 145 pounds to 132 pounds. we need to find the percent change:

Change in weight is:

$145p-132p=13p$

Change is percent is:

$\frac{\text{ Change in Weight}}{\text{Original Weight}}\times100=(\frac{13}{145})\times100=8.97\text{ \%}$

Use the quadratic formula to solve each equation.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

1) $x_1 = \frac{2 - 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1-\sqrt{13}$

$x_2 = \frac{2 + 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1+\sqrt{13}$

2) $x_1 = \frac{6 - 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6-2\sqrt{10}$

$x_2 = \frac{6 + 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6+2\sqrt{10}$

3) $p_1 = \frac{-8 - 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}$

$p_2 = \frac{-8 + 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}$

4) $y_1 = \frac{-3 - 9}{4}=-3$

$y_2 = \frac{-3 + 9}{4}= \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is given by:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

We can use this formula in order to solve the following equations:

1. x^2 − 2x = 12 → a = 1, b = −2, c = −12

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

$x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 -4(1)(-12)}}{2(1)}$

$x_1 = \frac{2 - 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1-\sqrt{13}$

$x_2 = \frac{2 + 2\sqrt{13}}{2}= 1+\sqrt{13}$

2. 1/2x^2 − 6x = 2 → a = 1 / 2, b = −6, c = −2

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

$x = \frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 -4(1/2)(-2)}}{2(1/2)}$

$x_1 = \frac{6 - 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6-2\sqrt{10}$

$x_2 = \frac{6 + 2\sqrt{10}}{1}= 6+2\sqrt{10}$

3. 2p^2 + 8p = 7 → a = 2, b = 8, c = −7

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

$p = \frac{-(8) \pm \sqrt{(8)^2 -4(2)(-7)}}{2(2)}$

$p_1 = \frac{-8 - 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}$

$p_2 = \frac{-8 + 2\sqrt{30}}{4}= -2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{30}$

4. 2y^2 + 3y − 5 = 4 → a = 2, b = 3, c = −9

For this case if we apply the quadratic formula we got:

$y = \frac{-(3) \pm \sqrt{(3)^2 -4(2)(-9)}}{2(2)}$

$y_1 = \frac{-3 - 9}{4}=-3$

$y_2 = \frac{-3 + 9}{4}= \frac{3}{2}$

In basketball, some baskets are worth 2 points. Others are worth 3 points. In 1 game the ratio of 3 point baskets to 3 point tri

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of baskets to tries = 5:7

if 45 baskets are made, how many tries?

5 : 7

45 : x

we cross multiply

5x = 45*7

x = 63 potential points from trials

since each try is worth 3 points, 63/3 = 21

They had 21 3-point tries

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential below? e^a= 35

lara [203]

Answer:

$log_{e}$ 35 = a

Step-by-step explanation:

using the law of logarithms

• $log_{b}$ x = n ⇔ x = $b^{n}$

$e^{a}$ = 35 ⇒ $log_{e}$ 35 = a
