8 0

Answer:

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of shots that Nick sunk.

y -----> number of shots Nick missed

we know that

x+y=28

y=28-x -----> equation A

5x-2y=0 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x

5x-2(28-x)=0

5x-56+2x=0

7x=56

x=8

Find the value of y

y=28-x ----> y=28-8=20

therefore

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

Which of the following functions is graphed below hellppp
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the equation of the function, whose graph is given to us in the question, we can use the various coordinates points and the points of discontinuities. Also, we can see the type of graph, for example, a parabolic, straight line etc.

Now, in the graph given in the question, we can see that from x<1, the graph is parabolic given by  y=x^2+2 and also we can see that x=1 is the discontinuous point, so we will not take x=1 in the domain of the function.

Now when x\geq 1, we have the straight line that is given by y=-x+2

where the curve is defined for x=1 also.

So, we will have the step-wise function whose equation will be given by option C.

Let f(x)= x - 4 and g(x) = 6 - X<br> Evaluate the following.<br> f(g(-3))
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

f(g(-3)) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(g(x)) just plug in g(x) for x in f(x)

f(x)= x - 4

f(g(x)) = (6 - x) - 4

f(g(x)) = 6 - x - 4

f(g(x)) = 2 - x

Now to find f(g(-3)) we plug in -3 for x.

f(g(-3)) = 2 - (-3)

f(g(-3)) = 2 + 3

f(g(-3)) = 5

(view image below) Find the mean or median of each data set as indicated
hram777 [196]

Answer: ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

                 Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ Mean = 4.8  Median = 4.5

The mean is the average. To find the mean add up all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers:

3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 9 = 29

29 ÷ 6 = 4.8

To find the mean, keep crossing out numbers until you are left with one number (for an odd amount of numbers). When you have an even amount of numbers, keep crossing out until you are left with 2 numbers. Add those 2 numbers and then divide:

4 + 5 = 9

9 ÷ 2 = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:
