This question is a fair question: “Which do you think is the most common age group of people who like pop music?” true or false

Ermias and Jeremiah both leave the bookstore at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than

leva [86]

Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:

x, x + 8

They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.

In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:

8(2x +8) = 240

2x + 8 = 30

2x = 22

x = 11.

Then:

x = 11 -> Ermias.

x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

A quadratic function is a function of the form y=ax^2+bx+c where a, b, and c are constants. Given any 3 points in the plane, the

pochemuha

Answer:

The quadratic function whose graph contains these points is $y=-x^{2}-2x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a quadratic function is a function of the form $y=ax^{2}+bx+c$ . The first step is use the 3 points given to write 3 equations to find the values of the constants <em>a</em>,<em>b</em>, and <em>c</em>.

Substitute the points (0,-2), (-5,-17), and (3,-17) into the general form of a quadratic function.

$-2=a*0^{2}+b*0+c\\c=-2$

$-17=a*-5^{2}+b*-5+c\\c=-25a+5b-17$

$-17=a*3^{2}+b*3+c\\ c=-9a-3b-17$

We can solve these system of equations by substitution

Substitute $c=-9a-3b-17$

$-9a-3b-17=25a+5b-17\\-9a-3b-17=-2$

Isolate a for the first equation

$-9a-3b-17=-25a+5b-17\\a=\frac{b}{2}$

Substitute $a=\frac{b}{2}$ into the second equation

$-9\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)-3b-17=-2$

Find the value of b

$-9\left(-\frac{4b}{17}\right)-3b-17=-2\\ b=-2$

Find the value of a

$a=\frac{b}{2}\\ a=-1$

The solutions to the system of equations are:

b=-2,a=-1,c=-2

So the quadratic function whose graph contains these points is

$y=-x^{2}-2x-2$

As you can corroborate with the graph of this function.

How many even 5-digit numbers can be formed from the numbers 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 if no digit is repeated in a number? A. 72 B. 120 C.

katovenus [111]

Hello,

Let's place the last digit: it must be 2 or 4 or 8 (3 possibilities)

It remainds 4 digits and the number of permutations fo 4 numbers is 4!=4*3*2*1=24

Thus there are 3*24=72 possibilities.

Answer A

If you do'nt believe run this programm

DIM n(5) AS INTEGER, i1 AS INTEGER, i2 AS INTEGER, i3 AS INTEGER, i4 AS INTEGER, i5 AS INTEGER, nb AS LONG, tot AS LONG
tot = 0
n(1) = 1
n(2) = 2
n(3) = 4
n(4) = 7
n(5) = 8
FOR i1 = 1 TO 5
    FOR i2 = 1 TO 5
        IF i2 <> i1 THEN
            FOR i3 = 1 TO 5
                IF i3 <> i2 AND i3 <> i1 THEN
                    FOR i4 = 1 TO 5
                        IF i4 <> i3 AND i4 <> i2 AND i4 <> i1 THEN
                            FOR i5 = 1 TO 5
                                IF i5 <> i4 AND i5 <> i3 AND i5 <> i2 AND i5 <> i1 THEN
                                    nb = ((((n(i1) * 10) + n(i2)) * 10 + n(i3)) * 10 + n(i4)) * 10 + n(i5)
                                    IF nb MOD 2 = 0 THEN
                                        tot = tot + 1
                                    END IF
                                END IF
                            NEXT i5
                        END IF
                    NEXT i4
                END IF
            NEXT i3
        END IF
    NEXT i2
NEXT i1
PRINT "tot="; tot
END
