Answer:

137 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

considering an election with 681 votes and 5 candidates up for the election

dividing the votes among'st 5 candidates

= 681 / 5 = 136.2  hence the least number of first-place votes needed by a candidate using the plurality method  would be = 137 votes

136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 = 681 ( dividing the votes equally )

136 + 136 + 136 + 136+136 = 680

hence the remaining vote = 681 - 680 = 1

least first-place vote = 136 + 1 = 137 votes

Write a quadratic function f whose zeros are 3 and 12.<br> f(x) = ?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The above equation is a quadratic function whose zeroes are 3 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general quadratic equation is given by :

ax^2+bx+c=0

It is given that, the zeroes of a quadratic function are 3 and 12. It means they must be factors of it such that,

(x-3)=0\\\\(x-12)=0

So, we can write as :

(x-3)(x-12)=0

Multiplying both factors,

(x-3)(x-12)=0\\\\x^2-12x-3x+36=0\\\\x^2-15x+36=0

So, the above equation is a quadratic function whose zeroes are 3 and 12.

Will give Brainliest. Write a linear equation for this statement:
Llana [10]

Answer:

H(d) = -9.5(d-1) + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d_n denote the number of hits on day n, then:

d_1 = 100, d_3 = 81

we can calculate that over the 2 days, the number of hits decreased by 19.

Assuming this is a linear equation and not an exponential decay line, then the series equation would be: d_n_+_1 = d_n - 9.5

To write this as a linear equation, if H(d) is a function where d is the day starting from 1 and H(d) is the nubmer of hits on that day:

H(d) = -9.5(d-1) + 100
