Answer:

348 out of 725

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio question, giving us a sample that we can use to extend the number to all students.

12/25 students play a sport so we want the value of x in x/725

So:

12/25 = x/725

Cross-Multiply:

25x = 8700

Divide by 25 to get x:

348

You can also check by dividing these ratios to see if you get the same number. In this case, you do (.48).

You can write it as a proportion and then solve the proportion.
(2.5 hours is 150 minutes)
14 cars x cars
--------------- = -------------------
45 minutes 150 minutes

Then solve.

x=46.6666666
So that is about 47 cars

Is (5,6.5) a solution to y= -1/2x + 9?

Jlenok [28]

6.5 = - 1/2(5) + 9

6.5 = - 2.5 + 9 which is the same as 6.5 = 9 - 2.5

6.5 = 6.5

So yes, this ordered pair IS a solution.

a volley ball player servers the ball. The ball follows a path given by the equation y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3 where x and y are measure

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(a)

Distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

The ball will go over the net

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The ball follows a path given by the equation

$y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3$

where

x and y are measured in feet and the origin is on the court directly below where the player hits the ball

(a)

net height is 8 ft

so, we can set y=8

and then we can solve for x

$8=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3$

$8\cdot \:100=-0.01x^2\cdot \:100+0.5x\cdot \:100+3\cdot \:100$

$800=-x^2+50x+300$

$-x^2+50x-500=0$

$x^2-50x+500=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-50\pm \sqrt{50^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-500\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}$

$x=5\left(5-\sqrt{5}\right),\:x=5\left(5+\sqrt{5}\right)$

$x=13.82,x=36.2$

So, distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

we can plug x=30 and check whether y=8 ft

$y=-0.01(30)^2+0.5(30)+3$

$y=9ft$

we know that

height of net is 8 ft

so, the ball will go over the net
