Let's set up an equation to solve this problem. In the question it says 85% of some number. Now in mathematics, the word 'of' can mean multiply in certain contexts.

And '... of what number' is some unknown. Which we will be represented by the variable x.

The word 'is' in mathematics can mean equal in certain contexts.

Before we build our equation, turn the percent into a decimal by moving the percent sign two places to the left and making it into a decimal point.

85% = 0.85

Now we have our equation.

0.85x = 38.25

Solve for x.

To solve for x, get the variable on one side the equation by itself and everything else on the opposite side.

Divide both sides by 0.85.

0.85x / 0.85 = 38.25 / 0.85
x = 45

So, 45 is the answer.

Answer:

D. f(x)=x^2 and k(x)=x^2-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a function is controlled by the translations of the x and y value. Moving a vertex up and down is connected to the vertical position or the y-value. The y-value is the value that is added to the variable and is not squared.

Vertex form of a function is f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k. In this case, k controls the vertical position of the vertex. If k is negative then the vertex will be moved down. So, if you want to move a vertex down by 5 units, then the k value must be -5.

Plug this into the formula to get the equation for k(x). This means that k(x) must equal x^2-5.

During his lunch hour, Matt asked 24 students how many after-school activities they participated in. This list shows
denis-greek [22]

As you can see, 4 of the 24 students don't partecipate in any activity. This clearly implies a ratio of 4:24, or 1:6.

We could infer that this ratio holds for the whole school, or even for all the boys and girls of that age.

That's the point of surveys and inferring: you gather data about a relatively small group, and then assume that the proportions you have are valid for a much larger group.

That's why it is important that the group that you survey is balanced and unbiased.

In the figure CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB . If the length of AC is 2x and the length of BC is 3x - 5 . The value of x
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer

Find out the value of x .

To proof

SAS congurence property

In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal.

in the Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° (Linear pair)

as given in the diagram

∠CDA  = 90°

∠ CDB = 180 ° - 90°

∠ CDB = 90°)

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congurent triangle)

As given

the length of AC is 2x and the length of BC is 3x - 5 .

2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

The value of x is 5 .

Hence proved
