A basketball player makes 75% of her free throws. If she made 84 free throws this season, how many has she attempted?

1 answer:

8 0

If you would like to know how many free throws did a basketball player attempted, you can calculate this using the following steps:

75% of x is 84
75% * x = 84
75/100 * x = 84
x = 84 * 100 / 75
x = 112 free throws

The correct result would be 1<span>12 free throws.</span>

Answer:

1,120

Step-by-step explanation:

180/12=15

for every 15 frogs there would be one with spots

1,200/15=80

1,200 - 80=1,120

If f(x)=2x^3-6x^2-16x-20f(x)=2x *3 −6x *2−16x−20 and f(5)=0, then find all of the zeros of f(x)f(x) algebraically.

mihalych1998 [28]

The zeros of the cubic function f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 are given as follows:

x = 5, x = -1 + i, x = -1 - i.

<h3>How to obtain the solutions to the equation?</h3>

The equation is defined by the rule presented as follows:

f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20.

One solution for the equation is given as follows:

x = 5.

Because f(5) = 0.

Then (x - 5) is a linear factor of the function f(x), which can be written as follows:

2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 = (ax² + bx + c)(x - 5).

This is because the product of a linear function and a quadratic function results in a cubic function.

Now we expand the right side to begin finding the coefficients of the quadratic function that we are going to solve to find the remaining zeros:

2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 = = ax³ + (b - 5a)x² + (c - 5b)x - 5c.

Then these coefficients are obtained comparing the left and the right side of the equality as follows:

a = 2.

-5c = -20 -> c = 4.

b = -6 + 5a = 4.

Hence the equation is:

2x² + 4x + 4.

Using a quadratic equation calculator, the remaining zeros are given as follows:

x = -1 + i.

x = -1 - i.

If g(x) = 2x2 + 6x + 5, use synthetic division to find g(-5).

diamong [38]

<h3>Answer: 25</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Check out the image below. I've posted the synthetic division table. The value at the very end of the bottom row is the remainder. By the remainder theorem, this is exactly the value of g(-5).

Recall the remainder theorem says: If you divide p(x) by (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). In this case, k = -5 is our test root which is the value placed in the box on the left.

As a way to check the answer, we can say

g(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 5

g(-5) = 2(-5)^2 + 6(-5) + 5

g(-5) = 25

So the answer is confirmed.

Dan earns £9.80 per hour how much will I earn for eight hours work

Andrews [41]

Answer:

£78.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he earns £9.80 per hour, we multiply this by how many hours there are. So £9.80 times 8 is £78.4. I hope this helps!
