Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions. The multiple choice questions x are worth 5 points and the

short answer questions x are worth 10 points. The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100. Write a system of liner equations to represent this situation.

x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

<em><u>Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions</u></em>

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

x \times 5 + y \times 10=100

5x + 10y = 100 ------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 are the system of equations that represent this situation

Can anyone help me solve these math problems?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

  1. x = 2
  2. r = 48
  3. 3536 ft
  4. √10
  5. 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  x² + (x+3)² = (√29)²

  2x² +6x +9 = 29 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  2x² +6x -20 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 29

  x² +3x -10 = 0  . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x +5)(x -2) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

x = -5 or +2 . . . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero (-5 is extraneous)

The value of x is 2.

__

2. Even though the figure is drawn incorrectly the Pythagorean theorem still applies. (The second attachment shows the circle in the right place. The figure is not to scale.)

  14² + r² = (r+2)²

  196 + r² = r² +4r +4 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  192 = 4r . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract r²+4 from both sides

  48 = r . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The value of r is 48.

__

3. You will recognize that the triangle involving the distance above the ground, the distance along the ground, and the straight-line bullet path is an isosceles right triangle. So, the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of either leg. The path length of the bullet is ...

  (2500 ft)√2 ≈ 3536 ft

__

4. see below for the diagram

The length to the terminal point is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  d = √(3² +(-1)²) = √10

The distance from the origin to the terminal point is √10 ≈ 3.16.

__

5. Angles "a" and "8a" total 90°, so we have ...

  a + 8a = 90°

  9a = 90° . . . . . . . . collect terms

  a = 10° . . . . . . . . . . divide by 9

The value of a is 10°.

Given the parent function f(x)=x^2 in red, write the equation for the transformed function g(x) in green.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

g(x) = 2x² + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola got thinner, so to show that, you put a 2 <u><em>before</em></u> x²<em> </em>to show that the graph was <em>dilated </em>(or thinned) by a factor of <em>2 </em>(Note: this number can also be <em>negative</em>, so if the dilation factor is negative, it's okay). Since the parabola shifts up by <em>1</em>, you then add + 1<em> </em><em><u>after</u></em> x² to show the positive upward shift.

Your full equation would look like this: g(x) = 2x² + 1

Dilation: this just means that every point on the parent function was double (or whatever the factor is) in the transformed function.
