Given:
y-intercept of the graph: (0, 90)
zeros: 5 and 9
The equation that models the function based on the zeros given, is either
y = 90 (x-5) (x-9)
or
y= 2(x-5)(x-9)
try solving for the y-intercept of each function,
y = 90 (0-5) (0-9)
y = 4050
(0, 4050)
y = 2(0-5) (0-9)
y = 90
(0, 90)
therefore, the equation that models the function is y = 2(x-5)(x-9)
I believe that x=9. I used cross multiplication. First, I multiplied 6 by 15. Second, I divided this product of 90 by 10. The quotient is 9.
Answer:
67 students voted for the eagle
Step-by-step explanation:
The students at Woodward Elementary voted for a school mascot. The falcon won with 5/8 of the votes and the eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes. If 536 students voted for a mascot, how many students voted for the eagle
Total students who voted = 536
Falcon won with 5/8 of the votes
5/8 of 536
=5/8 × 536
= 2,680/8
= 335 votes
Falcons won with 335 votes
Remaining votes = Total votes - falcons votes
= 536 - 335
= 201 votes
There are 201 votes remaining
Eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes
1/3 of the remaining votes
= 1/3 × 201
= 201/3
= 67 votes
67 students voted for the eagle
