Answer: Option 'A' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation :
Since we have given that
Number of medals = 2
Number of runners = 8
We need to find the number of ways to award the medals.
We would use "fundamental theorem of counting" to find the number of ways.
So, number of ways is given by
8 × 7 = 56
Hence, option 'A' is correct.
Rearrange to: x^2 + 18x - 25 = 0
Then factorise (I like to do it by completing the square):
(x + 9)^2 -81 -25 = 0
(x + 9)^2 = 106
x + 9 = sqrt(106)
The sol'ns are:
x = -9 + and - sqrt(106)
Answer:
47°
Step-by-step explanation:
angles x and 133 are supplementary, so they add up to 180°
subtract 133 from 180 to get 47
Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2
