5 0

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Two points on the graph would be (2,-1) and (4,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

You can choose two random x variables such as how i selected 2 and 4. if you change the variable x to those values you can solve for y or in this case f(x).

EX:

3/2*2-4

6/2-4

3-4

f(x)= -1

Miranda enlarged a picture twice as shown below, each time using a scale factor of 3.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>

1) The area of the first enlargement is 72 square inches.

The statement is false

Because

we know that

The original dimensions of the rectangle are

length 6 inches and width 4 inches

so

First enlargement

Multiply the original dimensions by a scale factor of 3

Length: 6(3)=18\ inches\\Width: 4(3)=12\ inches

The area of the first enlargement is

18(12)=216\ in^2

2) The area of the second enlargement is 1,944 square inches

The statement is true

Multiply the dimensions of the first enlargement by a scale factor of 3

Length: 18(3)=54\ inches\\Width: 12(3)=36\ inches

The area of the second enlargement is

54(36)=1,944\ in^2

3) The area of the second enlargement is (3 squared) squared times the original area.

The statement is true

Because

The original area is 24 square inches

[(3^2)]^2(24)=1,944\ in^2

4) The area of the second enlargement is 3 times the area of the first enlargement

The statement is false

Because

3(216)=648\ in^2

so

648\ in^2 \neq 1,944\ in^2

5) The ratio of the area of the first enlargement to the area of the original equals the square of the scale factor

The statement is true

Because

The square of the scale factor is 3^2=9

and the ratio is equal to

\frac{216}{24}=9
