Favor out a-1 as long as you do it to the whole problem it is now equivalent then just worry about factoring the new product
-1(8x^2+X-9)
(8x+9)((X-1)
8x+9=0
Subtract 9 divide by 8
X=-9/ 8 answer
X-1=0 X=1 answer

A friend has a 83% average before the final exam for a course. That score includes everything but the final, which counts for 25
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\mathrm{Best\:course\:grade\:possible:\:}87.25\%,\\\mathrm{Minimum\:score\:on\:final\:to\:earn\:at\:least\:a\:75\%\:for\:the\:course:\:}51\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the maximum score for the final is 100\%, we can multiply each score by its respective course weight and add them together to give a final score. If your friend did receive this maximum score of 100\%, their overall grade for the course would be:

83(1-0.25)+100(0.25)=\fbox{$87.25\%$}.

To find the minimum score they need to earn a 75% for the course, we set up the following equation:

83(1-0.25)+x(0.25)=75, where x is the minimum score she needs.

Solving, we get:

62.25+x(0.25)=75,\\x(0.25)=12.75,\\x=\fbox{$51\%$}.

Q7 Q7.) Find the unit vector in the same direction as v.
igor_vitrenko [27]
Use Pythagorean theorem:

9i-j = sqrt (9^2 - 1^2) = sqrt(81-1) = sqrt80

now divide both terms in V by that:

u = 9/sqrt(80)i - 1/sqrt(80)j
