One group (A) contains 615 people. Three-fifths of the people in group A will be selected to win $50 fuel cards. There is anothe

r group (B) in a nearby town that will receive the same number of fuel cards, but there are 526 people in that group. What will be the ratio of nonwinners in group A to nonwinners in group B after the selections are made? Express your ratio as a fraction or with a colon.

The answer is 246:157.

Step by Step:

Group A:

First, figure out 1/5 of the people in group A. ( 615/5 = 123 )

Find 2/5 ( the amount of people who lost ) ( 123*2 = 246 )

Group B:

They received the same amount of fuel cards, so you take 526 - 369 ( 3/5 of the last group, or the winners, which is the amount of cards they received ) = 157.

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 1:  3x² - 2x - 1

Side 2: 9x + 2x² - 3

Perimeter: 5x³ + 4x² - x - 3

a) Length of side 1 and side 2

Length = (3x² - 2x - 1) + (9x + 2x² - 3)

            = 3x² - 2x - 1 + 9x + 2x² - 3

            = (3x² + 2x²) + (-2x + 9x) + (-1 - 3)

            = 5x² + 7x - 4

b) Length of the third side

Third side = Perimeter - side 1 - side 2

Third side = 5x³ + 4x² - x - 3 - (5x² + 7x - 4)

Third side = 5x³ + 4x² - x - 3 - 5x² - 7x + 4

Third side = 5x³ + (4x² - 5x²) + (-x - 7x) + (-3 + 4)

Third side = 5x³ - x² - 8x + 1

c) Yes, in this problem we did both operations (addition and subtraction) and we can notice that the polynomials are closed. Also they follow the closure property the addition or subtraction of two polynomials gives another polynomial.

Find value of x<br> A.)46<br> B.)80<br> C.)15<br> D.) 26
Gwar [14]

The two angles are supplementary angles, which when added together equal 180 degrees.

6x -10 + 6x +10 = 180

Combine like terms:

12x = 180

Divide both sides by 12:

x = 180/12

x = 15

The answer is C) 15

The graph below describes the journey of a train between two cities
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Acceleration in first 15 min . Distance between two cities  Average speed of journey

Solution:

Each horizontal block is 1/8 hr = 7.5 min

Each vertical block is 10 km/hr

Time                    Velocity  km/hr

0 Min  ( 0 hr)            0

15 Min (1/4 hr)           50

45 Min (3/4 hr)         50

60 MIn  ( 1 hr)            100

90 Min  ( 3/2 hr)        100

120 Min ( 2hr)            0

Acceleration in first 15 min  (1/4 hr)  =  (50 - 0)/(1/4 - 0)  = 50/(1/4)

= 200  km/h²

Distance between two cities

= (1/2)(0 + 50)(1/4 - 0)  + 50 * (3/4 - 1/4)  + (1/2)(50 + 100)(1 - 3/4)  + 100 * (3/2 - 1) + (1/2)(100 + 0)(2 - 3/2)

=  25/4  + 25 + 75/4   + 50 + 25

= 125

Distance between two cities = 125 km

Average Speed of journey = 125/2  = 62.5  km/hr

Acceleration in first 15 min = 200  km/h²

Distance between two cities = 125 km

Average Speed of journey =  62.5  km/hr

Hope this helps..

Given the equation f(x) = (x + 3)2 – 8, fill in the blanks: Axis of symmetry: x = _______a0 Vertex: ( _______a1, _______a2) Numb
frutty [35]

We have been given an equation f(x)=(x+3)^2-8.  We are asked to fill in the blanks using our given equation.

The axis of symmetry will be the vertical line passing through vertex.

First of all, we will convert our given equation in standard vertex form of parabola as:

Standard vertex form of parabola: y=(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is vertex of parabola.

f(x)=(x-(-3))^2-8

Upon comparing our function with standard vertex form, we can see that vertex of parabola is at (-3,-8).

The axis of symmetry will be vertical line passing through point (-3,-8). The vertical line will pass through x=-3, therefore, the axis of symmetry is x=-3.

Since our given parabola is an upward opening parabola, so it has a minimum at (-3,-8). This means that parabola will intersect the x-axis at two points. Therefore, there are two real solutions for the given function.
