Answer:

504.999...

Step-by-step explanation:

505 rounds to 510, but a number that is infinitessimally smaller rounds to 500.

Unfortunately, for any number you can write that rounds to 500, there are an infinite number of numbers that are greater and still less than 505.

In short, there is no "greatest number" that is less than 505—unless you put additional restrictions on it, like the number of digits that can be used to express it, for example.

Consider the function f(x)=-5x^2 +2x -8. find the critical point a of the function

OLEGan [10]

To find the critical number of that function we have to find the derivative and set it equal to 0 and solve for x. The derivative of the function is f'(x)=-10x+2. If we set it equal to 0 and solve, we have x = -2/-10 which simplifies to x = 1/5.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.

Ghella [55]

Answer: A, x = square root of 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

8^2 = 2^2 + x^2

x^2 = 8^2 - 2^2

x^2 = 64 - 4

x^2 = 60

x = sqrt of 60

There are 25 questions on your math test. You have completed 5 questions so far. What fraction of the total questions do you sti

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have completed $5$ questions, you still have $25-5=20$ more questions to answer. We need to find what fraction $20$ is of $25$ , if that makes sense. A fraction is simply a part over a whole. In this case, the part is $20$ and the whole is $25$ . Therefore, the fraction we are looking for is $\frac{20}{25}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$ . Hope this helps!
