Hannah scored a total of 170 points on two math tests. The score of the first test was 6 points lower than the second test. How

many points did Hannah score on the first test?

Ok so in order to do this, you have to set up an equation. Let's make a=the score of the first test and b=the score of the second test. (You can choose different variables, it doesn't matter.) It says the sum of the two equals 170. So, a+b=170. It also says that the score of the first was 6 less than the second. This can be shown as a=b-6. Now you can plug this in for a in your original equation. It will look like:

(b-6)+b=170

You can solve for b.

2b-6=170
2b=176
b=88

Since you want a, plug into either equation for b. I'll use the second one.

a=88-6

So, a=82

Replace f(x) with x⁸

1) f(x) + 2 → x⁸ + 2

2) 3f(x) → 3x⁸

3) f(-x) → (-x)⁸

4) f(x - 2) → (x - 2)⁸

$5.\ \dfrac{1}{3}f(x)$ → $\dfrac{1}{3}x^8$

Mr. Stanford’s greenhouse has the dimensions shown. The volume of the greenhouse is 90 cubic yards. Find the missing dimension o

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

$h=10\ yd$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular prism of the figure is equal to

$V=Bh$

where

B is the area of the triangular base

h is the height of the triangular prism

Find the value of B

$B=\frac{1}{2}(6)(3)=9\ yd^{2}$

we have that

$V=90\ yd^{3}$

substitute the values and solve for h

$90=9h$

$h=90/9=10\ yd$

Use the factors of the function and the y-intercept to find the standard form of the equation representing Jared’s function. Typ

Georgia [21]

The y-intercept of a function is the point where the graph crosses the $\mathbf{y = x^3 + 2x^2 - 193x - 270 }$

The factors of the Jared's graph are: (x - 10), (x + 3) and (x + 9)
The y-intercept is -13.5
The standard equation of the function is: $\mathbf{y = x^3 + 2x^2 - 193x - 270 }$

<u>(a) The factors</u>

First, we write out the points where the function cross the x-axis.

The points are:

$\mathbf{x = 10}$

$\mathbf{x = -3}$

$\mathbf{x = -9}$

Equate the above points to 0

$\mathbf{x -10 = 0}$

$\mathbf{x +3 = 0}$

$\mathbf{x +9 = 0}$

Hence, the factors are: (x - 10), (x + 3) and (x + 9)

<u>(b) The y-intercept</u>

This is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

From the attached graph, the graph crosses the y-axis at -13.5.

Hence, the y-intercept is -13.5

<u>(c) The standard form</u>

In (a), we have:

$\mathbf{x -10 = 0}$

$\mathbf{x +3 = 0}$

$\mathbf{x +9 = 0}$

Multiply the above equations

$\mathbf{(x - 10) \times (x + 3) \times (x + 9) = 0 \times 0 \times 0}$

$\mathbf{(x - 10) \times (x + 3) \times (x + 9) = 0 }$

Expand

$\mathbf{(x - 10) \times (x^2 + 3x + 9x + 27) = 0 }$

$\mathbf{(x - 10) \times (x^2 + 12x + 27) = 0 }$

Expand

$\mathbf{x^3 + 12x^2 + 27x - 10x^2 - 220x - 270 = 0 }$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{x^3 + 12x^2 - 10x^2+ 27x - 220x - 270 = 0 }$

$\mathbf{x^3 + 2x^2 - 193x - 270 = 0 }$

Replace 0 with y

$\mathbf{y = x^3 + 2x^2 - 193x - 270 }$

Hence, the standard form is: $\mathbf{y = x^3 + 2x^2 - 193x - 270 }$
