The number of questions answered correctly = 90.

<h3>What is a system of linear equations?</h3>
  • A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations.
  • Linear equations refer to the equations that involve two or more variables in the form of "ax + b".

Now,

Given:

  • Total number of questions = 200
  • Marks for correct answer = 4
  • Marks for incorrect answer = -1
  • Total marks = 250

To find : Number of correct answers = ?

Finding:

Now, assuming that the student attempted and answered all the questions,

  • Let the number of questions correctly answered be x and incorrectly answered be y.

Then,

  1. x + y = 200 (For number of questions) (eqn 1)
  2. and 4x - y = 250 (For the marks scored) (eqn 2)

Solving the system of linear equations:

For eqn 2, we get that y = 4x - 250

Substituting in eqn 1, we get:

=> x + 4x - 250 = 200

=> 5x = 250 + 200 = 450

=> x = 90

That is, the number of questions answered correctly = 90, the incorrect answers = 200 - 90 = 110.

What is the equation of y = x^3 with the given transformations? Vertical stretch by a factor of 3, horizontal shift 4 units to t
givi [52]

Answer:

y = 3(x - 4)^3 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical stretch factor 3 is given by 3x^3.  Horizontal shift 4 to the right is given by 3(x - 4)^3. Finally we  add -3 to this function to move it 3 units down.

Answer is y = 3(x- 4)^3 - 3
