X = B.......x - 17 = A

x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes

x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes

The value pie/2 is a solution for the equation 2sin^2x-sinx-1=0<br><br> true or false
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Yes, \frac{\pi }{2} is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that sin(\frac{\pi }{2})=1. By replacing \frac{\pi }{2} in the given trigonometric equation, we get 0 (zero) as a result, so this value is a solution:

2*(sin(\frac{\pi }{2} ))^2-sin(\frac{\pi }{2})-1= 2*(1)^2-1-1=2-2=0

What is the y value of the vertex of the function f(x)=-(x-3)(x+11)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is a minus sign infront of x-3, we can convert x-3 into the negative form:

- * x

- * -3

-x + 3

Which gives us:

(-x + 3)(x + 11)

Now expand the brackets with the formula:

(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

-x * x = -x²

-x * 11 = -11x

3 * x = 3x

3 * 11 = 33

-x² - 11x + 3x + 33

-x² - 8x + 33

The formula for finding the x coordinate of a vertex in a quadratic equation is:

x = \frac{-b}{2a}

Plug known variables in:

x = \frac{-(-8)}{2(-1)}

x = \frac{8}{-2}

x = -4

Now, to find the y coordinate, plug this variable back into the quadratic equation:

-x² - 8x + 33

y = -(-4^2) - (32) + 33\\y = -16 + 32 + 33\\\\

y = 49

So the y coordinate of the vertex is 49.

Hope this helps!

Beginning in 2000, an orchestra increased its ticket price by a constant amount each year until 2010.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

$35.50

Step-by-step explanation:

55.50-48= 7.5

2008-2005 = 3

7.5 divided by 3 = 2.5 per year

2005-2000 = 5 multipled by 2.5 = 12.5

48-12.5=35.5
