Answer:

  • 10 questions that are 4-point
  • 30 questions that are 2-point

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Numerical reasoning</em>

If all questions were 2-point, the total score would be 80. It is 20 more than that. Each 4-point question that replaces a 2-point question will add 2 points to the score, so there must be 20/2 = 10 of them.

There are 10 4-point questions and 30 2-point questions.

_____

<em>With an equation</em>

Let x represent the number of 4-point questions. Then 40-x is the number of 2-point questions. The total number of points is ...

... 2(40-x) +4x = 100

... 2x +80 = 100 . . . . simplify

... 2x = 20 . . . . . . . . .subtract 80

... x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.

There are 10 4-point questions and 40-10=30 2-point questions.

What is the result of increasing 50 by 30%?
kogti [31]

Answer:

50 increased by 30% is 65

Step-by-step explanation:

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

30% = 30/100 = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3.

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.

Percentage increase = 30% × 50

New value = 50 + Percentage increase

Calculate

New value =

50 + Percentage increase =

50 + (30% × 50) =

50 + 30% × 50 =

(1 + 30%) × 50 =

(100% + 30%) × 50 =

130% × 50 =

130 ÷ 100 × 50 =

130 × 50 ÷ 100 =

6,500 ÷ 100 =

65

Or just find 30% of 50 (15) and add that

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (1,2)(1,2)left parenthesis, 1, comma, 2, right parenthesis and a directrix at
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  y = -1/8(x -1)² +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola can be written from focus and directrix using the form ...

  y = 1/(4p)(x -h)² +k

where p is the distance from vertex to focus, and (h, k) is the vertex.

The vertex-focus distance is half the distance from the directrix to the focus. Here, that is ...

  p = (2 -6)/2 = -4/2 = -2

The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix on the same vertical line, so has coordinates ...

  (h, k) = ((1, 2) +(1, 6))/2 = (1, 4)

__

Using these values of p and (h, k), we find the equation of the parabola to be ...

  y = 1/(4(-2))(x -1)² +4

  y = -1/8(x -1)² +4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can check the graph by considering the definition of a parabola: each point on the curve is equidistant from the focus and the directrix. This is easily verified for points on the horizontal and vertical lines through the focus. For example, point (5, 2) is 4 units from the focus, and 4 units from the directrix.
