In a certain game of 50 questions, the final score is calculated by subtracting twice the number of wrong answers from the total

number of correct answers. If a player attempted all questions and received a final score of 35, how many wrong answers did he give?

Well, you start at 50. For every wrong answer you lose 3 points. Lost 15, so there were 15/3=5 wrong answers.

The hawk population in a county is declining at a rate of 1.4% per year. the population was 3800 in the year 2016. which answer

Anika [276]

After a year the population will be 98.6% (100% - 1.4%) 98.6% as a decimal is 0.986 ... so after 1 year it will be: <span>

3800 x 0.986

after 2 years it will be:

3800 x 0.986 x 0.986...

after 3 years: 3800 x (0.986)^3

<span>in 2018. And after 4 years it will be 3800 x (0.986)^4 = which is 3591.62724 or 3592</span></span>

Plz I need some help with 11-12 . My teacher didn’t even explain it correctly so now I’m confused.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Step 1: Transpose everything to one side

12. x²+16x+15-10x+4=0

Step 2: Add the like terms

x² + (16x - 10x) + 15 + 4=0

x² + 6x + 19=0

Step 3: Use the quadratic formula to get the value(s) of x.

a=1 b=6 c=19

$x = \frac{ - b + - \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4ac } {}^{} }{2a}$

therefore, x=... or x
