Adam and Nick are having an argument. Adam says if you have forty- five pencils to put into five boxes, you can use 45 ÷ 5 to fi

nd how many pencils to put into each box. Nick says if you have forty - five pencils and want to put nine into each box, you can use 45 ÷ 9 to find out how many boxes you need. Who is correct, Adam or Nick ?

Both are correct, because when they divide their pencils that way, both of them will have equal amount of boxes and equal amount of pencils in each box.

Samuel is preventing a boulder from rolling down a hill with a slope of 35°. If the boulder
Rashid [163]

Answer:

1,809.98 lb*m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to know how much weight of the boulder is projected along the path in which the boulder can move.

The weight of the boulder is:

W = 322lb*9.8 m/s^2 = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)

This weight has a direction that is vertical, pointing downwards.

Now, we know that the angle of the hill is 35°

The angle that makes the direction of the weight and this angle, is:

(90° - 35°)

(A rough sketch of this situation can be seen in the image below)

Then we need to project the weight over this direction, and that will be given by:

P = W*cos(90° - 35°) = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)*cos(55°) = 1,809.98 lb*m/s^2

This is the force that Samuel needs to exert on the boulder if he wants the boulder to not roll down.

There are four blue marbles, an unknown number of red (r) marbles, and six yellow marbles in a bag. Which expression represents
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

There are a total of 4 + r + 6 marbles in the bag

The probability of a blue is  \frac{4}{10+r}  

The probability of a red is  \frac{r}{10+r}  

The probability of choosing a blue, replacing it and then a red is

\frac{4}{10+r} × \frac{r}{10+r}  =  [tex]\frac{4r}{100+20r+ r^{2} /[tex]

Consider the quadratic function: y = 2x^2 + 7x + 10
arsen [322]

Answer:

y-intercept: 10

concavity: function opens up

min/max: min

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) The definition of a y-intercept is what the resulting value of a function is when x is equal to 0.

Therefore, if the function's equation is given, to find y-intercept simply plug in 0 for the x-values:

y = 2x^2+7x+10 = 2(0)^2 + 7(0)+10 = 2(0) + 0 + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10

y intercept ( f(0) )= 10

2.) In order to find concavity (whether a function opens up or down) of a quadratic function, you can simply find the sign associated with the x^2 value. Since 2x^2 is positive, the concavity is positive. This is basically possible, since it is identifying any reflections affecting the y-values / horizontal reflections.

3.) In order to find whether a quadratic function has a maximum or minimum, you can use the concavity of the function. The idea is that if the function opens downwards, the vertex would be at the very top, resulting in a maximum. If a function was open upwards, the vertex would be at the very bottom, meaning there is a minimum. Like the concavity, if the value associated with x^2 is positive, there is a minimum. If it is negative, there is a maximum. Since 2x^2 is positive, the function has a minimum.
