A. 14.43
13.36x0.08 = 1.068
13.36+1.068 = 14.428 (round up) 14.43
To figure out the average of Michael and Melissa we must add up all their test scores and divide the by 7; which is the number of tests they took.
Michael:
(80+76+73+70+40+25+10)/7
Melissa:
(88+83+75+70+60+65+62)/7
Michael's average is 53.4
Melissa's average is 71.9
So Melissa is earning a C in Latin.
You must remember that a polynomial is written like so...
ax^2 + bx + c
In this case...
a = 1
b = 3
c = -10
To factor you must find two numbers who both add up to b (3) AND multiply to c (-10)
-2 + 5 = 3
-2 * 5 = -10
so...
(x - 2)(x + 5)
To find the zero you must set each factor equal to zero and solve for for x like so...
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
Hope this helped!
