A large chess tournament starts with 1024 players. How many players will be remaining after 6 rounds

Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

After reach round the number of players will be reduced by a half.

After 1 round it will be 1024 * 11/2 = 512, after  2 rounds it will be 1024 * (1/2)^2 = 256 etc..

Thus, after 6 rounds  the remaining players will be 1024* (1/2)^6

=  16  (answer)

Solve algebraically for x: 2(x – 4) 2 + 10 = 30
forsale [732]

Answer:

x=4 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

When given the following equation,

2(x-4)^2+10=30

One must follow the order of operations to solve the equation and get a valid result. The order of operations states the following,

1. Parenthesis

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication/ Division

4. Addition/ Subtraction.

Normally, one would combine the terms in the parenthesis, but since they are unlike terms, one will have to undo the exponents first. Expand the binomial.

2(x-4)^2 + 10 = 30\\\\2(x^2-8x+16)+10=30

Now distribute, multiply every term inside the parenthesis by the term outside,

2(x^2-8x+16)+10=30\\\\2(x^2)+2(-8)x+2(16) + 10 = 30

Simplify,

2(x^2)+2(-8x)+2(16)+10=30

2x^2 -16x +32 +10 = 30

2x^2 -16x +42=30

Inverse operations,

2x^2 -16x + 42 = 30\\-30\\\\2x^2 - 16x + 12= 0

To simplify the equation, divide all terms by (2).

x^2 - 8x +6=0

Factor, rewrite the quadratic equation as a product of linear equations,

(x-4)(x-2)=0

Solve using the zero product property. The zero product property states that any number times zero equals zero,

(x-4)(x-2)=0\\\\x=4,x=2

<em>Six (6)</em> different pizzas can be made with one vegetable and one meat.

They are:

1). broccoli, pepperoni

2). broccoli, sausage

3). peppers, pepperoni

4). peppers, sausage

5). onions, pepperoni

6). onions, sausage

Estimate = 700 lbs

Real bear = 634 lbs

Difference = (700 - 634) = 66 lbs

The estimate is <em>66 pounds more</em> than the actual weight.

The estimate is 10.4% too high.

The actual bear weighs 9.4% less than the estimate.

Answer: Choice B) (24,10)

---------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

2x - 4y = 8
2( x ) - 4y = 8
2( 3y-6 ) - 4y = 8 ... notice x has been replaced with 3y-6
2(3y)+2(-6) - 4y = 8
6y-12 - 4y = 8
2y-12 = 8
2y-12+12 = 8+12 ... add 12 to both sides
2y = 20
2y/2 = 20/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = 10

If y = 10, then
x = 3y-6
x = 3*10-6 ... replace y with 10
x = 30-6
x = 24

Put together, the solution is (x,y) = (24,10)
which is why the answer is choice B

As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (24,10) into each equation
x = 3y-6
24 = 3*10 - 6
24 = 30 - 6
24 = 24 ... true equation
and similarly for the second equation as well
2x-4y = 8
2*24 - 4*10 = 8
48 - 40 = 8
8 = 8 ... true equation
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (24,10) so the solution is confirmed
