42, because 1/6 of 42 is seven. I could be wrong but I think this is the correct answer

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$2x+178\geq 2000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of cans collected by Shane = x.

So, the number of cans collected by Abha = x + 178.

Since, at least 2000 cans are required to be collected.

Thus, we have the inequality,

Number of cans by Shane + Number of cans by Abha ≥ 2000.

i.e. $x+(x+178)\geq 2000$

i.e. $2x+178\geq 2000$

Thus, the required inequality is $2x+178\geq 2000$ .

A certain math teachers likes to keep a box of prizes to distribute to students. The math teacher likes to keep at least twice a

Law Incorporation [45]

Option C

Math teacher would need to buy 130 prizes

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

Given that,

Math teacher currently has 109 students and the box has 88 prizes in it

The math teacher likes to keep at least twice as many prizes in the box as she has students

So, she wants the number of prizes to be twice the number of students

Therefore,

number of prizes = 2 x 109 students

number of prizes = 2 x 109 = 218 prizes

The box has 88 prizes in it

Therefore, number of prizes she would need to buy is:

⇒ 218 - 88 = 130

Thus she would need to buy 130 prizes

5. Find the discriminant of 15x2 = 4x – 1 and describe

diamong [38]

Answer:

a) The discriminant of the equation = - 44

b)The nature of the roots will be imaginary.

c) $x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15} or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is $15x^{2} = 4x -1$

or, $15x^{2} - 4x + 1 = 0$

Now the discriminant (D) of a quadratic equation $ax^{2} +b x + c = 0$

D = $b^{2} - 4ac = (-4)^{2} - 4(15) (1) = 16 - (60) = -44$

Hence, the discriminant of the equation = - 44

As D< 0, so the roots will be imaginary.

Now,by quadratic formula : $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

So, here $x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{D} }{2a} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}$

So, either $x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30} or, x = \frac{4 - \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}$

or, $x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15} or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}$
