Question A 
take $100.80 divide it by 35 which would equal 2.88 
so round that up for 3.0 for the closest answer

Question B 
take 49.2 and divide it by 6 which would equal 8.2
so round it to the nearest number which would be 8.0

Question C
take 0.78 and divide it by 20L which would equal 0.039
so round that up to the closest number which would be 0.04L

Answer:


A) The closest answer would be 3. This is true because you can round 100.80 to 100, then divide that by 40, which will get you 2.5, the closest answer to this is 3.0, or option 3.

B) The closest answer would be 8. This is true because you can round 49.2 to 50, then divide that by 10 (the number you get after rounding 6 up), which will get you 5, which is closest to 8.0, or option 2.

C) The closest answer would be 40. When you divide 100 (you rounded .78 to .100) by 20 (you don’t need to round), you get 0.005, this is closest to 0.04.

Hope this helps Buddy!

On Monday a stock sold for $12 a share at closing. On Tuesday the selling price for the stock was down $3 a share at closing. On
Anika [276]

Answer:the price of the stock at closing on Wednesday is $10

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday a stock sold for $12 a share at closing. On Tuesday the selling price for the stock was down $3 a share at closing. This means that the amount at which the stock sold a share at closing on Tuesday is 12 - 3 = $9

On Wednesday the price of the stock at closing was up $1 from Tuesday. This means that the amount at which the stock sold a share at closing on Wednesday is

HELP ASAP IM IN A TIMED TEST 8TH GRADE MATH ​
sattari [20]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert them all to the form y = mx + c

1)

4x + 3y = 15

3y = -4x + 15

y = -4/3 x + 5

2)

3x - 4y = -8

-4y = -3x - 8

4y = 3x + 8

y = 3/4x + 2

3)

y + 1 = 4/3(x - 6)

y + 1 = 4/3x - 8

y = 4/3x - 9

4)

y = 3/4x - 5

Find all solutions to the following quadratic equations, and write each equation in factored form.
dexar [7]

Answer:

(a) The solutions are: x=5i,\:x=-5i

(b) The solutions are: x=3i,\:x=-3i

(c) The solutions are: x=i-2,\:x=-i-2

(d) The solutions are: x=-\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2},\:x=-\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

(e) The solutions are: x=1,\:x=-1,\:x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

(f) The solutions are: x=1

(g) The solutions are: x=0,\:x=1,\:x=-2

(h) The solutions are: x=2,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions of these quadratic equations you must:

(a) For x^2+25=0

\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\x^2+25-25=0-25

\mathrm{Simplify}\\x^2=-25

\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x=\sqrt{-25},\:x=-\sqrt{-25}

\mathrm{Simplify}\:\sqrt{-25}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-a}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{a}\\\\\sqrt{-25}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{25}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:imaginary\:number\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\\sqrt{-25}=\sqrt{25}i\\\\\sqrt{-25}=5i

-\sqrt{-25}=-5i

The solutions are: x=5i,\:x=-5i

(b) For -x^2-16=-7

-x^2-16+16=-7+16\\-x^2=9\\\frac{-x^2}{-1}=\frac{9}{-1}\\x^2=-9\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\x=\sqrt{-9},\:x=-\sqrt{-9}

The solutions are: x=3i,\:x=-3i

(c) For \left(x+2\right)^2+1=0

\left(x+2\right)^2+1-1=0-1\\\left(x+2\right)^2=-1\\\mathrm{For\:}\left(g\left(x\right)\right)^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}g\left(x\right)=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\x+2=\sqrt{-1}\\x+2=i\\x=i-2\\\\x+2=-\sqrt{-1}\\x+2=-i\\x=-i-2

The solutions are: x=i-2,\:x=-i-2

(d) For \left(x+2\right)^2=x

\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(x+2\right)^2= x^2+4x+4

x^2+4x+4=x\\x^2+4x+4-x=x-x\\x^2+3x+4=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the solutions are:

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=3,\:c=4:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}

x_1=\frac{-3+\sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}\\\\x_2=\frac{-3-\sqrt{3^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

The solutions are: x=-\frac{3}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2},\:x=-\frac{3}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}

(e) For \left(x^2+1\right)^2+2\left(x^2+1\right)-8=0

\left(x^2+1\right)^2= x^4+2x^2+1\\\\2\left(x^2+1\right)= 2x^2+2\\\\x^4+2x^2+1+2x^2+2-8\\x^4+4x^2-5

\mathrm{Rewrite\:the\:equation\:with\:}u=x^2\mathrm{\:and\:}u^2=x^4\\u^2+4u-5=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:with\:the\:quadratic\:equation}\:u^2+4u-5=0

u_1=\frac{-4+\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-5\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad 1\\\\u_2=\frac{-4-\sqrt{4^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-5\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}=\quad -5

\mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=x^2,\:\mathrm{solve\:for}\:x\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2=1=\quad x=1,\:x=-1\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x^2=-5=\quad x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

The solutions are: x=1,\:x=-1,\:x=\sqrt{5}i,\:x=-\sqrt{5}i

(f) For \left(2x-1\right)^2=\left(x+1\right)^2-3

\left(2x-1\right)^2=\quad 4x^2-4x+1\\\left(x+1\right)^2-3=\quad x^2+2x-2\\\\4x^2-4x+1=x^2+2x-2\\4x^2-4x+1+2=x^2+2x-2+2\\4x^2-4x+3=x^2+2x\\4x^2-4x+3-2x=x^2+2x-2x\\4x^2-6x+3=x^2\\4x^2-6x+3-x^2=x^2-x^2\\3x^2-6x+3=0

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=3,\:b=-6,\:c=3:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:3}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\cdot \:3}\\x=\frac{-\left(-6\right)}{2\cdot \:3}\\x=1

The solutions are: x=1

(g) For x^3+x^2-2x=0

x^3+x^2-2x=x\left(x^2+x-2\right)\\\\x^2+x-2:\quad \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)\\\\x^3+x^2-2x=x\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)=0

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

x=0\\x-1=0:\quad x=1\\x+2=0:\quad x=-2

The solutions are: x=0,\:x=1,\:x=-2

(h) For x^3-2x^2+4x-8=0

x^3-2x^2+4x-8=\left(x^3-2x^2\right)+\left(4x-8\right)\\x^3-2x^2+4x-8=x^2\left(x-2\right)+4\left(x-2\right)\\x^3-2x^2+4x-8=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2+4\right)

Using the Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

x-2=0:\quad x=2\\x^2+4=0:\quad x=2i,\:x=-2i

The solutions are: x=2,\:x=2i,\:x=-2i
