Answer:

Ricky had 1199 hits.

Pedro had 1482 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>State your variables</u>

let "p" be the number of Pedro's base hits

let "r" be the number of Ricky's base hits

<u>Create equations</u> using information from the problem

p + r = 2681         [1]

p = r + 283          [2]

<u>Substitute equation [2] in equation [1]</u> replacing 'p'

p + r = 2681

r + 283 + r = 2681

<u>Combine like terms</u> to simplify

2r + 283 = 2681

<u>Isolate '"r"</u> to solve for Ricky's base hits.

2r + 283 - 283 = 2681 - 283            Subtract 283 on both sides

2r = 2398        

2r/2 = 2398/2               Divide both sides by 2

r = 1199              Number of Ricky's hits

Substitute r = 1199 into any equation to find "p". I will use [2].

p = r + 283

p = 1199 + 283         Add

p = 1482              Number of Pedro's hits

Therefore Ricky had 1199 hits and Pedro had 1482 hits.

Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. F(x) = 4x2 8x 1 –1 = 4x2 8x –1 = 4(x2 2x)
Ymorist [56]

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

<h3>What is quadratic equation ?</h3>

Any equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called quadratic equation .

Given work of Penelope is

$$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&0=4(x+2)^{2} \\&0=(x+2)^{2} \\&0=x+2 \\&-2=x\end{aligned}$$

Now we can see that Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. so he must have been done as following

$$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+4=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&3=4(x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{3}{4} =x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x+2 \\&\frac{-2\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x\end{aligned}$$

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

ABC is not an acute triangle what is the first step of indirectly proving this statement
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Assume ΔABC is an acute triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ABC.

We have to tell the first step of indirect proving ΔABC is not an acute triangle.

An indirect proof, also known a proof by contradiction. When we use indirect proof method, we assume the opposite of our theory to be true and then by applying our assumed theory we contradict the given statement which proves our supposition is wrong. In other words, we assume our theory is false.

Hence, our first step is to

Assume ΔABC is an acute triangle.

Third option is correct.
