Which of the following is the best estimate for 31% of 9? GIVING 99 Points!

2 answers:

5 0

Hello! So, when you know your fractions and percents, you know that about 33% equals 1/3. 31 is close to 33, so the best estimate for 31% of 9 is 3. When you solve it on a calculator, 9 * 31% (0.31) is 2.79, which rounds off to 3 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The answer is B: 3.

Hi!

9 * 31% = 2.79

2.79 is closest to 3, so the best estimate for 31% of 9 is 3! =)

Write an expression that is equivalent to 4(b+2)-3b

vekshin1

Ok so first we need to distribute so:
=(4)(b)+(4)(2)+−3b
=4b+8+−3b
So now that we've distrubuted that we are now going to Combine Like Terms:
=4b+8+−3b
=(4b+−3b)+(8)
Finally your answer is:
=b+8
I hope this helps you!

under a dilation, the point (2,6) is moved to (6,18) what is the scale factor of the dilation? enter your answer in the box

Anestetic [448]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line passing through the two points is $\frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1} }=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

When substituted,the equation becomes $\frac{y-6}{x-2}=\frac{18-6}{6-2}$

which when simplified is $y=3\times x$

The line clearly passes through origin.

The distance between two points is $\sqrt{(y_{1}-y_{2} )^{2}+(x_{1}- x_{2} )^{2}}$

Distance between origin and $(2,6)$ is $\sqrt{40}$ .

Distance between origin and $(6,18)$ is $\sqrt{360}$

Scale factor is $\frac{distance\text{ }of\text{ }p_{2}\text{ from origin}}{distance \text{ } of \text{ } p_{1}\text{ from origin}}$

So,scale factor is $\frac{\sqrt{360} }{\sqrt{40} }$

which when simplified becomes 3.

Mrs Lim packs 35 big and small bags of candies for her pupils. Each big bag contains 12 candies and each small bag contains 7 ca

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are x big-bags and y small-bags.

so now we can know:

(1) x + y = 35

(2) 12x + 7y = 300

in (1),we can do like this:

both left and right x7

then (x + y)x7 = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 245

now,

(1)7x + 7y =245

(2)12x + 7y = 300

we can both left and right do this: (2) - (1)

then

(12x + 7y) - (7x + 7y) = 300 -245

then

12x + 7y - 7x - 7y = 300 -245

then

12x - 7x +7y - 7y =300 -245

then

5x =55

then

5x ÷ 5 = 55 ÷ 5

then

x = 11

because

x + y =35;x=11

11 + y =35

11+ y -11 = 35 -11

then

y = 24

now we know:there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Based on the extreme value theorem, what is the maximum value of f(x) = –x2 + 6x over the interval [1, 4]?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$Maximum\ value\ =9 ,at\ x=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Function given

$f(x) = -x^2 + 6x$

Co-ordinates

(x,y)=[1, 4]

Generally the second differentiation of function is mathematically given by

$-2x+6$

Therefore critical point

$x=3$

Generally the substitutions of co-ordinate into function is mathematically given by

For 1

$F(1)=-(1)^2 + 6(1)\\F(1)=5$

For 4

$F(4)=-(4)^2 + 6(4)\\F(4)=8$

For critical point 3

$F(3)=-(3)^2 + 6(3)\\F(3)=9$

Therefore the maximum value of f(x) = –x2 + 6x over the interval [1, 4] is given by

$Maximum\ value\ =9 ,at\ x=3$
