Maya and Sally were the two finalists in a singing competition. The person with the most votes from the audience was chosen as t

he winner. Sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. No person in the audience was allowed to vote more than once. The equation below represents this situation, where y is the total number of votes cast and x is the number of votes Maya received:
x − 62,500 = 0.25y

If a total of 125,000 people voted, how many votes did Maya receive?

<span>Substitute the value of y which is 125,000 in the equation x - 62,500 = 0.25y. The product of 0.25 and 125,000  is 31,250. Transpose 62,500 to the other side of the equation. Add 62,500 to 31,250. The number of votes Maya received which x represent is 93570,</span>

Answer:

Votes received by Maya = 93750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation which represents the relation between total number of votes cast (y) and number of votes (x) Maya received is

x - 62500 = 0.25y

If the total number of people voted (y) = 125000

Then we have to calculate the votes received by Maya

x - 62500 = 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 31250

x = 93750 votes

Therefore, votes received by Maya are 93750.

Hi there!

f(x) = x^3 - 8x^2 + 16x

The multiplicity of a root is the number of times the root appears.

So the answers are

x = 0 and the multiplicity of 1
x = 4 and the multiplicity of 2

I hope this helps!

Good luck!

true or false: b) If a line contains a center of a circle, it is a secant of the circle. (c If 2 chords intersect a circle, they
Valentin [98]

Answer:

b) true

c) false

d) true

e) true

Step-by-step explanation:

b) Any line that contains an interior point of a circle is a secant of the circle. The center is an interior point, so a line that contains the circle center is a secant.

__

c) Chords of different lengths intercept arcs of different measures

__

d) Any line perpendicular to a radius at the point where the radius meets the circle is a tangent to the circle. The endpoint of a diameter is the endpoint of a radius, so a line perpendicular there will be a tangent.

__

e) The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc, so all inscribed angles that intercept equal arcs are equal.
