Answer:

Because 20 has to be doubled to become 40. While 40 is twice as much as 20 so you just divide 40 by 20 to get 50%.

Explanation:

20 x 20 = 40 = 100%

40 / 20 = 50%

The path of the ball is an illustration of absolute equation.

The equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

The given parameters are:

$(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$ --- the vertex (i.e. the point where the ball hits the wall)

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7.6,1.6)$

An absolute function is represented as:

$y = a |x - h| + k$

Substitute $(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$

$y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

Substitute $(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$ for x and y

$1.6 = a|2 - 4.8| + 6.4$

$1.6 = a|- 2.8| + 6.4$

Remove absolute bracket

$1.6 = 2.8a + 6.4$

Collect like terms

$2.8a = -6.4+1.6$

$2.8a =- 4.8$

Solve for a

$a =-\frac{4.8}{2.8}$

Simplify

$a =-\frac{12}{7}$

Substitute $a =-\frac{12}{7}$ in $y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

$y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

Hence, the equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

See attachment for graph that models the path

Represent the set of numbers as decimals on the number line {5 3/10, 5 1/10, 5 and if you answer more than needed thank you

Alina [70]

Answer:

(0.53 > 0.51) both less than 1 while 5 is greater than both

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{53}{10} = .53, \frac{51}{10} = .51.$ and 5

the number line has two sides, with the left side for negative numbers while the right side is for positive numbers.

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -.53 -.51 0 .51 .53 1 2 3 4 5

By studying the number line above all decimal numbers greater than 0 but less than 1 are from 0, .1, .2,.........,.98, .99, 1.00 which is also the same as 1 because all numbers greater than 1 has an invisible point at its right side like 2., 3. which also means 2, 3 while negative number are all less than 0
