x + y = 3.36 --> the boys are splitting $3.36

x = 3y - .12 --> one boy received $.12 less than 3 times as much as the other

--> substitute the second equation for the x in the first equation

(3y - .12) + y = 3.36 --> combine like terms

4y - .12 = 3.36 --> add .12 to both sides of the equation

4y = 3.48 --> divide both sides by 4

y = .87

the other boy gets $0.87

substitute into x = 3y - 12

x = 3(.87) - .12

x = 2.61 - .12

x = 2.49

the first boy gets $2.49

Just tell me the answer I have 5 min

skad [1K]

I think the answer is 21. I’m not sure but if I remember it’s 40 + 20 = 60. 180 - 60 = 120 and then it’s a vertical angle which is equal so then it would be 120 + 39 = 159. Then 180 - 159 = 21. Sorry if this is wrong I haven’t done this in a while. Have a good day!

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs not all tiles will be used match each quadratic graph to its respectiv

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Part 1) The function of the First graph is $f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) The function of the Second graph is $f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) The function of the Third graph is $f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

See the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-c)(x-d)$

where

a is the leading coefficient

c and d are the roots or zeros of the function

Part 1) First graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-1 and x=3

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-3)(x+1)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (1,-4)

substitute and solve for a

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

$-4=a(-2)(2)$

$a=1$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) Second graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-3 and x=1

The parabola open down, so the leading coefficient a is negative

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x+3)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (-1,8)

substitute and solve for a

$8=a(-1-1)(-1+3)$

$8=a(-2)(2)$

$a=-2$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) Third graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-2 and x=6

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-6)(x+2)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (2,-8)

substitute and solve for a

$-8=a(2-6)(2+2)$

$-8=a(-4)(4)$

$a=0.5$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Option b - not significantly greater than 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 100 people was taken i.e. n=100

Eighty of the people in the sample favored Candidate i.e. x=80

We have used single sample proportion test,

$p=\frac{x}{n}$

$p=\frac{80}{100}$

$p=0.8$

Now we define hypothesis,

Null hypothesis $H_0$ : candidate A is significantly greater than 75%.

Alternative hypothesis $H_1$ : candidate A is not significantly greater than 75%.

Level of significance $\alpha=0.05$

Applying test statistic Z -proportion,

$Z=\frac{\widehat{p}-p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}}$

Where, $\widehat{p}=80\%=0.80$ and $p=75%=0.75$

Substitute the values,

$Z=\frac{0.80-0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{100}}}$

$Z=\frac{0.80-0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1875}{100}}}$

$Z=\frac{0.05}{0.0433}$

$Z=1.1547$

The p-value is

$P(Z>1.1547)=1-P(Z$

$P(Z>1.1547)=1-0.8789$

$P(Z>1.1547)=0.1241$

Now, the p-value is greater than the 0.05.

So we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the A is not significantly greater than 75%.

Therefore, Option b is correct.
