In their last game, the New England Patriots scored 9 points in the first half. In the second half, they scored three less than

two times the points in the first half. What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored? Give your ratio using a colon.

Answer:

In the first half, they scored 9 points.

in the second half, they scored:

-3 + 2*9 = 18 - 3 = 15 points.

The total number of points scored is 9 + 15 = 24 points.

Now we want to know:

"What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored?"

The ratio between two numbers a and b is written as:

a:b

In this case, the ratio will be:

15:24

But we should simplify this ratio, we can divide both sides by the same number and the ratio will remain unchanged.

As both numbers are multiples of 3, we can divide both sides by 3.

15/3 = 5.

24/3 = 8

Then:

15:24 = 5:8

The ratio is 5:8

Consider the function f ( x ) = − 2 x 3 + 27 x 2 − 108 x + 9 . For this function there are three important open intervals: ( − [
Darya [45]

Answer:

<em>A=3 and B=6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Increasing and Decreasing Intervals of Functions</u>

Given f(x) as a real function and f'(x) its first derivative.

If f'(a)>0 the function is increasing in x=a

If f'(a)<0 the function is decreasing in x=a

If f'(a)=0 the function has a critical point in x=a

As we can see, the critical points may define open intervals where the function has different behaviors.

We have

f ( x ) = - 2 x^3 + 27 x^2 - 108 x + 9

Computing the first derivative:

f' ( x ) = - 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108

We find the critical points equating f'(x) to zero

- 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108=0

Simplifying by -6

x^2 -9 x +18=0

We get the critical points

x=3,\ x=6

They define the following intervals

(-\infty,3),\ (3,6),\ (6,+\infty)

Thus A=3 and B=6

(brainliest)Armando found the volume of the figure below by using the steps shown. A rectangular prism with a length of 18 inche
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:  Armando used the wrong dimensions for the triangular prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze Armando’s work.

Total Volume = Volume of rectangular prism + volume of triangular prism  

Total Volume = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (8)  

Total Volume= 720 + 432  

Total volume = 1,152 cubic inches.

He made a mistake in the second step, where used h=8 for the triangular prism instead of h= 5 . (h=height)

The correct way to solve this is.

Total Volume = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (5)  

Total Volume= 720 + 270

Total volume = 990 cubic inches.

-30=5(x+1)−30=5(x+1) proszę szybką odpowiedź :)
den301095 [7]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

-30=5(x+1)

We need to solve the equation.

Use associative property on RHS.

-30 = 5x+5

Subtract 5 from both the sides.

-30-5 = 5x+5-5

-35 = 5x

x = -7

Hence, the value of x is -7.

The point (3, -4) is on the terminal side of an angle 0 . What is cos 0  ?
RSB [31]
Draw it
cos=oposite side/hypothuse

oposite side=y=-4
hypotonuse=distance from (0,0) to (3,-4)
which is D=\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5

so it would be -4/5
