Answer:The team won 15 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Given no of soccer games =50

Ratio of wins to losses =3:7

Let no of wins = $3x$

and no of losses = $7x$

Now

$3x+7x=50$

$10x=50$

Dividing both sides by 10

x=5

So no of wins =3x = $3\times5$

=15

We found the answer as 10 parts equals 50

So 3 parts equals 15

In a survey of 400 seniors, x percent said that they plan on majoring in physics. One university has used this data to estimate

azamat

Answer:

2 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two separate fractions, one representing the amount of physics majors expected and the amount of seniors expected in physics majors by the university.

$\frac{400x}{66} = \frac{400}{3600}$

Now cross multiply.

$\frac{66*400}{400x * 3600}$

x will be removed.

$\frac{26400}{1320000}$

Simplifying this fraction will get you $\frac{1}{50}$ , which in percentage form, will be 2 percent.

Is sqrt(1 - sin^2 θ) = cos θ true? if so, in which quadrants does angle θ terminate?

jonny [76]

Answer:

I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1-sin(θ)² = cos(θ)², the given equation is equivalent to ...

√(cos(θ)²) = |cos(θ)| = cos(θ)

This will be true where the cosine is non-negative, in the first and fourth quadrants.
