Please read answers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer all the questions about the election.

1. How many votes does Candidate Smith claim?

Candidate Smith claimed 52% of 5,000

Candidate Smith claimed 0.52 * 5,000 = 2,600

Candidate Smith claimed 2,600 votes

2. What is the total of the vote count you just calculated for Candidate Smith and the 2,681 votes Candidate Adams claims?

Total votes claimed = 2,600 + 2,681

Total votes claimed = 5,281

3. What percentage of the votes does Candidate Adams claim? Do not round your result?

Percentage of the votes claimed by Candidate Adams = 2,681/5,000 = 53.62%

4. What is the total of the percentage of votes that you just calculated for Candidate Adams and the 52% of votes that Candidate Smith claims? Do not round.

Total percentage of votes claimed by both candidates = 53.62 + 52

Total percentage of votes claimed by both candidates = 105.62%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

u got the first 2 correct

percentage of votes Adams claims :

so he claims 2681 out of 5281..

2681 / 5281 = (jeez...u dont want it rounded)...ok....its :

0.50766900208 which equals 50.766900208 % <==

the total of the percentages :

52% + 50.766900208% = 102.766900208 % <==

Triangles J K L and M N R are shown.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

JK ≅ MN

Step-by-step explanation:

SAS states that any two sides of the angle and the angle itself, if , of two triangles are equal the two triangles are equal.

It is given that ∠J ≅ ∠M and JL ≅ MR i.e an angle and a side are equal. We need one more side to prove that the two triangles are equal.

If we look at the diagram closely we see that the angles J and M are formed by the sides JK & JL and MN& MR.

It is given that JL ≅ MR so we are left with JK ≅ MN

Does anyone know how to do this

bezimeni [28]

You can turn 5 into 10/2 and add to x/2
then you need to use simple algebra to left the x alone in the equation so you need to multiply both sides by 2 so you get
2y=10+x
then you need to subtract both sides a 10 so
2y-10=x
now change the x to f'(x) and y to x so:
f'(x)=2x-10

Need help on this math problem

erik [133]

Answer:

$-5, 18, \sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the first equation, f of -3. The value of the function f is $\frac{1+x^2}{x+1}$ , and plugging in -3 gets us $\frac{1+9}{1-3}$ , this results in 10 divided by negative 2, which is negative 5.

Now, we must solve g of negative one third. The function g is defined as $|9x-15|$ . Plugging in negative one third into the question gets us $|9(-\frac{1}{3})-15|$

9 times negative one third is -3, and -3 minus 15 is -18. The absolute value of -18 is 18.

Now, we must solve h of negative 2, and h is defined as $\sqrt{-3-8x}$ . Plugging in negative 2, we have $\sqrt{-3-8(-2)}$ . Negative 8 times negative 2 is positive 16, and 16 minus 3 is 13. The answer is the square root of 13

Amanda earned a score of 940 on a national achievement test that was normally distributed. The mean test score was 850 with a st

snow_lady [41]

In math notation, we've done this: z = (X - μ) / σ = (940 - 850) / 100 = 0.90 where z is the z-score X is Vivian's score (940) µ is the mean (850) σ is the standard deviation (100) As you may know, in a normal distribution it's expected that about 68% of all observations will fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% will fall within 2 standard deviations, and 99% will fall within 3 standard deviations.
940 lie before the first standard deviation, in which 16.5% is above it
since 940 is 0.9 from the mean and 0.1 from the first standard deviation
so above it is 17.5 % = 0.175 or about 0.18
