Markus scared 85, 92, 82, and 94 on the first four tests of the semester. His teacher has not yet told him his score on his fift

h test, but did tell him that his score on the fifth test is five points lower than the average (arithmetic mean) of all five tests. Which equation could Markus use to determine the score of the fifth test, x?

Answer:

y — x = 5

5y — x = 353

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fifth score be x

Let the average of all the scores be y.

But the fifth score is 5 points lower than the average ie

y — x = 5 (1)

The average of the scores is the sum of all the scores divided the number of scores. This is written as

y = (85 + 92 + 82 + 94 + x) /5

y = (353 + x) /5

Multiply through by 5

5y = 353 + x

Rearrange the equation

5y — x = 353 (2)

The equation Markus will use to determine the x is given as

y — x = 5

5y — x = 353

What are the focus and directrix of the parabola that is the graph of the function f(x)=x²?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y=x^2$

comparing it with standard equation $x^2=4ay$

so 4a=1

$a=\frac{1}{4}$

so Focus of parabola is (0,0)

directrix

y=-a

here $a=\frac{1}{4}$

$y=-\frac{1}{4}$

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

Required

$a + b$

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}$

$AB = \sqrt{18}$

$AB = \sqrt{9*2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}$

$AB = 3\sqrt{2}$

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}$

$BC = \sqrt{2}$

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}$

$CD = \sqrt{10}$

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{9 + 1}$

$DA = \sqrt{10}$

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

$Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}$

$Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

Recall that

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

This implies that

$a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

By comparison

$a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$

$a = 4$

By comparison

$b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{10}$

$b = 2$

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

PLEASE HELP me math i'll mark you branliest i need hellp really quick least to greatest math

Lady_Fox [76]

-20 28/35, -20, 20 28/40, 20 27/30

- the negative numbers will always be less than the positive numbers, so those will be first. Now you have to find the BIGGEST negative number, that’s is worth less than the smaller negative number, because negatives are like opposites of positives. So the bigger negative number is first, then the next negative number. Now you just find the smallest positive number to the biggest positive number.

How many times does she expect to draw a marble that isn’t red

otez555 [7]

There is a 50/50 chance she does or doesnt take a red marble out the back so its most likely 40 times because of how there are other 2 colors and she is putting back the marbles in the bag
