Answer:

x=1,-5x=1,−5

Step-by-step explanation:

0=(x−1)(x+5)

2 Switch sides.

(x-1)(x+5)=0(x−1)(x+5)=0

3 Solve for xx.

x=1,-5x=1,−5

ANSWER AND EXPLAIN I’LL MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE ILL MARK BRAINLIEST

masya89 [10]

Answer:

160 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Before I begin, note that distance = rate * time (or d = r * t)

To solve this problem, we need to find what point these two people have the same distance. (so Janiyah covers the same distance as Connor)

So, let's set the time that Janiyah takes as x (in seconds). So, he covers

d = r * t, or 8x meters

Then, Connor's equation would be

d = r * t

d = 5x + 60 (because he got a 60 meter headstart)

Because d is the same in both equations, to solve for the amount of time they run:

8x = 5x + 60

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x = 60

x = 20

Then, to find Janiyah's distance (you can also use Connors because the two distances are equal), put x = 20 into 8x

8x = 8 * 20 = 160

So, Janiyah ran 160 meters.

Just in case, let's check if this is correct. Connor's distance equals Janiyah's, so

5x + 60 = 160

5 * 20 + 60 = 160

100 + 60 = 160

160 = 160

True.

So, the answers are correct.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

The scale of a drawing is 2 cm : 1 mm. Is the scale drawing larger or smaller than the actual object? Explain.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

The scale drawing is smaller than the actual object because a scale is an estimation on where an object is. We can't draw 1 mile that would be impossible to draw a whole drawing based on one location.

What is the equation to a graph with the vertex -1,3 and zeros -4 and -2

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$f(x)=x^2+6x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given zeros as x=-4, x=-2

so, we can set up function as

$f(x)=a(x+4)(x+2)$

Vertex is at (-1,3)

It means that graph passes through point (-1,3)

so, we can plug x=-1 and f(x)=3

and then we can solve for 'a'

$3=a(-1+4)(-1+2)$

we get

$a=1$

now, we can plug it back

and we get

$f(x)=1(x+4)(x+2)$

now, we can simplify it

$f(x)=x^2+6x+8$

Students were selected at random in a local high school to see if there was an association between gender and

Assoli18 [71]

<h3>Answer: 53%</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The question asks "What percent of females participate in extracurricular activities?" This means we only focus on the second column. There are 36 women, and of this total, 19 are in extracurricular activities.

Dividing the two values leads to approximately 19/36 = 0.52777 which rounds to 0.53

Then we move the decimal to the right two spots to get 53%

Roughly 53% of the female students participate in extracurricular activities.
