Answer:

y < 623.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y

250yrs(1) - y < 3/5(1) + y

250 - y < 3/5 + y

combine the like terms

250 - 3/5 < y +y

250 - 3/5 < 2y

make 250 and 3/5 a single fraction first by finding the LCM of 5 and 1 which is 5. Multiply by their LCM.

(250/1)5 - (3/5)5

1250 - 3 < 2y

1247 < 2y

divide both sides by 2

y < 1247/2

y < 623.5

Answer:          410 possible points

To solve for the possible points in the course, use a proportion and cross multiply.

<h2>What is a proportion?</h2>

A proportion is two fractions that are equal to each other. For the fractions to be equal, they are proportionate. In our math problem, percentage is proportionate the the number of points.

The fractions represent information you have, and one variable will represent what you are solving for.

<h2 /><h3>Given</h3>

Your points = 361

Points to get an 'A' = your points + 8

'A' = 90% of possible points

<h3>Find the points needed for an 'A' at 90%</h3>

Points to get an 'A' = your points + 8

= 361 + 8

= 369

<h3>State variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the amount of possible points

<h3 /><h3>Write a proportion</h3>

We know the number of points for 90% is 369 points. Remember that 90% is the same as 90/100.

Keep the information with the same units inside the same fraction. Here, percentage is represented by the first fraction. Points is represented by the second fraction.

\displaystyle{\frac{90}{100}=\frac{369}{x}}

<h3>Solve</h3>

We can solve using cross multiplication. This is when we multiply each numerator by the denominator from the other fraction.

90x = 369*100        Simplify by multiplying.

90x = 36,900            Isolate the variable <em>x</em>.

\displaystyle{\frac{90x}{90} = \frac{36,900}{90}}           Divide both sides by 90 to cancel out 90 on the left.

\displaystyle{x = \frac{36,900}{90}}              Divide.

x = 410                    Solved for <em>x</em>, representing the possible points.

∴ The possible points in the art course is 410.

Mr. Walker is looking at the fundraiser totals for the last five years.
balu736 [363]
$880, $896, $914, $925, and $963

median = $914
mean = (896+925+880+963+914)/5 = 4578/5 = $915.6

$915.6 - $914 = $1.6

so mean is greater than median $1.6

answer is B. second choice
<span>The mean is $1.60 greater.</span>

5. Find the discriminant of 15x2 = 4x – 1 and describe
diamong [38]

Answer:

a) The discriminant of the equation =  - 44

b)The nature of the roots will be imaginary.

c) x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is 15x^{2}  = 4x -1

or, 15x^{2}  -  4x + 1   = 0

Now the discriminant (D) of a quadratic equation ax^{2}  +b x + c   = 0

D = b^{2}   -  4ac  = (-4)^{2}  -  4(15) (1)  = 16 - (60) = -44

Hence, the discriminant of the equation =  - 44

As D< 0, so the roots will be imaginary.

Now,by quadratic formula : x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

So, here x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{D} }{2a}  = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

So, either x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30} or, x =  \frac{4 - \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

or, x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}
