More than 50% would be 50% of the total games plus one win.
In total, there are 162 games.
44+65+53=162
50% of 162 equals 81.
The cubs must win 82 games. If they have won 44 games so far, then 82-44=36
They must win at least 56 games to have a winning season.
Hope I got it right for your sake.
You should divide or simplify the problem.
Answer:
10 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
equate the sum formula to 55 and solve for n
n(n + 1) = 55 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
n(n + 1) = 110 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
n² + n = 110 ( subtract 110 from both sides )
n² + n - 110 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (- 110) which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term (+ 1)
the factors are + 11 and - 10 , since
11 × - 10 = - 110 and 11 - 10 = + 1 , then
(n + 11)(n - 10) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 11 = 0 ⇒ n = - 11
n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10
However, n > 0 , then n = 10
number of terms which sum to 55 is 10
Answer:
d, e
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
In this case, it means the product is ...
(6^1)(6^0)(6^-3) = 6^(1+0-3) = 6^-2 = 1/6^2 = 1/36
__
The 6 without an exponent is equivalent to 6^1, an exponent of 1.
The sum of the exponents is -2.
Add the exponents to simplify the expression.
The value of the expression is 1/36.
An equivalent is any expression that results in 6^-2. One such is (6^5)(6^-7).
__
Only the last two choices, d and e, apply.
