Answer:

Number of pieces of candy in the bowl=64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x=number of pieces of candy in a bowl

Shirley took=1/2 of x

=1/2x

Remaining

x-1/2x

= 2x-x/2

=1/2x

Rose took half of the pieces left in the bowl=1/2 of 1/2x

=1/2*1/2x

=1/4x

Remaining

1/2x-1/4x

=2x-x/4

=1/4x

Susan took 1/2 of the remaining pieces of candy=1/2 of 1/4x

=1/2*1/4x

=1/8x

Remaining 8

1/8x=8

x=8÷1/8

=8*8/1

=64

x=64

HELP!! Identify the transformation from ABC to A'B'C'.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

<em>Thus, the transformation from ABC to A'B'C' is a reflection over the x-axis.</em>

<em>Choice 1.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reflection over the x-axis</u>

Given a point A(x,y), a reflection over the x-axis maps A to the point A' with coordinates A'(x,-y).

The figure shows triangles ABC and A'B'C'. It can be clearly seen the x-coordinates for each vertex of both triangles is the same and the y-coordinate is the inverse of it counterpart. For example A=(5,3) and A'=(5,-3)

Thus, the transformation from ABC to A'B'C' is a reflection over the x-axis.

Choice 1.

a volley ball player servers the ball. The ball follows a path given by the equation y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3 where x and y are measure
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(a)

Distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

The ball will go over the net

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The ball follows a path given by the equation

y=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3

where

x and y are measured in feet and the origin is on the court directly below where the player hits the ball

(a)

net height is 8 ft

so, we can set y=8

and then we can solve for x

8=-0.01x^2+0.5x+3

8\cdot \:100=-0.01x^2\cdot \:100+0.5x\cdot \:100+3\cdot \:100

800=-x^2+50x+300

-x^2+50x-500=0

x^2-50x+500=0

we can use quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-50\pm \sqrt{50^2-4\left(-1\right)\left(-500\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)}

x=5\left(5-\sqrt{5}\right),\:x=5\left(5+\sqrt{5}\right)

x=13.82,x=36.2

So, distance from player should be 13.82 feet or 36.2 feet

(b)

we can plug x=30 and check whether y=8 ft

y=-0.01(30)^2+0.5(30)+3

y=9ft

we know that

height of net is 8 ft

so, the ball will go over the net

How do I find the y intercept in a fraction
Furkat [3]

ANSWER:

Both functions have the same slope

The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

The table and the grahp express an equivalent function

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

In order to compare, we must calculate the slope of the table, knowing that the equation in its slope and intercept form is the following:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where m is the slope and b is y-intercept} \end{gathered}

The formula to calculate the slope is the following:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The points are (-6, -9/2) and (4,3), replacing:

m=\frac{3-(-\frac{9}{2})}{4-(-6)}=\frac{3+\frac{9}{2}}{4+6}=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{10}=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4}

The slope is 3/4

Now, for b

x = 4

y = 3

m = 3/4

replacing:

\begin{gathered} 3=\frac{3}{4}\cdot4+b \\ b=3-3 \\ b=0 \end{gathered}

The equation is:

y=\frac{3}{4}x

Therefore, the true statements are:

• Both functions have the same slope

,

• The linear equation does not have a y-intercept

,

• The table and the grahp express an equivalent function
