Answer:

7 wrong answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when you answer a question well, you earn 8 points and a bad one loses 5 points, this means that when you answer 1 good and 1 bad, there is a total of 3 points (8-5).

This means that when answering 5 good and 5 bad, in total it would be 3 * 5 points, that is to say 15 points, that is, it goes through 2 points. To subtract 2 points, you would have to answer 1 good and 2 bad, (8 - 2 * 5), which turns out to be -2 points.

In total there would be 6 questions right and 7 questions wrong, like this:

8 * 6 + 5 * 7 = 13

13 points, in 13 questions (6 correct + 7 incorrect)

The rest of the questions were not answered so that the score does not go up or down.

Which means you got 7 wrong answers.

What is the standard form of the equation of a line for which the length of the normal segment to the origin is 8 and the normal
jeka57 [31]
Slope of line = tan(120) = -tan(60) = - &radic;3
Distance from origin = 8

Let equation be Ax+By+C=0
then -A/B=-&radic;3, or
B=A/&radic;3.
Equation becomes
Ax+(A/&radic;3)y+C=0

Knowing that line is 8 units from origin, apply distance formula
8=abs((Ax+(A/&radic;3)y+C)/sqrt(A^2+(A/&radic;3)^2))
Substitute coordinates of origin (x,y)=(0,0)  =>
8=abs(C/sqrt(A^2+A^2/3))
Let A=1 (or any other arbitrary finite value)
solve for positive solution of C
8=C/&radic;(4/3) => C=8*2/&radic;3 = (16/3)&radic;3

Therefore one solution is
x+(1/&radic;3)+(16/3)&radic;3=0
or equivalently
&radic;3 x + y + 16 = 0

Check:
slope = -1/&radic;3  .....ok
distance from origin
= (&radic;3 * 0 + 0 + 16)/(sqrt(&radic;3)^2+1^2)
=16/2
=8  ok.

Similarly C=-16 will satisfy the given conditions.

Answer  The required equations are
&radic;3 x + y = &pm; 16 
in standard form.

You can conveniently convert to point-slope form if you wish.
