Answer:

15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

If he bats 50 times, he will be expected to reach first base "30% of the time".

We simply need to find "what is 30% of 50?"

We first need to convert the percentage (30%) to decimal and then multiply that with 50 to get our answer.

Converting percentage to decimal is very simple! We divide by 100. That's it!

So, we have:

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Now we do the multiplication:

0.3 * 50 = 15

So, the player would reach first base 15 times (out of 50 times of batting)

Kevin's work for deriving the equation of a circle is shown below. x2 + 4x = −(y2 − 20) step 1 x2 + 4x = −y2 + 20 step 2 x2 + 4x
SVEN [57.7K]
We have the following equation:
 x2 + 4x = - (y2 - 20)
 Let's review step by step:
 step 1:
 
x2 + 4x = -y2 + 20
 Answer: OK
 step 2:
 
x2 + 4x + 4 = -y2 + 20 - 4
 Answer: Wrong
 The correct step is:
 x2 + 4x - 4 = -y2 + 20 - 4
 Or equivalently:
 x2 + 4x + 4 = -y2 + 20 + 4

Part A: Find a rational number that is between 7.7 and 7.9. Explain why it is rational. (2 points)
8_murik_8 [283]
A rational number is any number that can be written as the ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form \frac{a}{b}

Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have 7.8=\frac{78}{10}

Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are \sqrt{2}, e, \phi and \pi so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case \frac{11\sqrt{2}}{5}\approx7.78 works nicely.

Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 16
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162

We factor 2 to obtain;

f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)

f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)

We now compare to;

f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)

It is now obvious that k=3
