The Tigers lost 15% of the 60 games that they played this season. How many games did they win?

4 0

The first step, would be to make the percent a fraction. 15%=15/100.

So, if they played 60 games, and you want to find how many they lost, you would write x/60, when x=games lost.

15 x
___=___
100 60

Simplify the fraction on the left. Divide the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by 5, leaving you with 3/20.

3/20=x/60

Make the denominators (bottom) similar

9/60=x/60

x=9

Show that if u+v and u-v are orthognal, then the vectors u and v must have the same length.

pashok25 [27]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

u+ v and u-v are orthogonal

We have to prove that u and v must have the same length.

When two vector a and b are orthogonal then

$a\cdot b=0$

By using the property

$(u+v)\cdot (u-v)=0$

We know that

$(a+b)\cdot (a-b)=\mid a\mid^2-\mid b\mid^2$

$\mid u\mid ^2-\mid v\mid^2=0$

$\mid u\mid^2=\mid v\mid^2$

Magnitude is always positive

When power of base on both sides are equal then base will be equal

Therefore,

$\mid u\mid=\mid v\mid$

Hence, the length of vectors u and v must have the same length.

A parabola has zeros at (5,0) and (-3,0) and passes through point (6,18) determine the axis of symmetry

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The axis of symmetry is $x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a vertical parabola, the axis of symmetry is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

In this problem we have a vertical parabola open upward

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to the midpoint between the zeros of the parabola

so

$x=\frac{5-3}{2}=1$

therefore

The axis of symmetry is $x=1$
