Answer:

20 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

50 points corresponds to a 100% grade. How many points (x) correspond to a 40% grade?

x 40%

------------ = ---------

50 pts 100%

Then 100x = 2000, and so x = 20.

A score of 20 points would correspond with a test score of 40%.

A dinner platter is in the shape of a regular decagon the platter has an area of 161 in.² and a side length of 4.6 inches what's

cupoosta [38]

Number of sides= 10
Side length= 4.6 ( or in this case base)

161 sq inches / 10 = 16.1 area of triangle.

Area of triangle =(b<span>ase * </span>height)/2

16.1=(4.6*h)/2
multiply 16.1 by 2 (cancels the dividing the 2)

32.2=4.6*h
divid 32.2 by 4.6

<span>7 is the height of the triangle</span>

Solve 3x² + 4x = 2. (2 points)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is a second order equation, it means that it has two possible answers and they are $x_1$ and $x_2$ .

The famous quadratic formula for solving any second order equation is the following:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4 ac}}{2a}\\x_{2}=\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4 ac}}{2a}$

Where a is the coefficient of $x^2$ , b is the coefficient of x, and c is the free term. In other words,

$a = 3\\b=4\\c=-2$

as the equation should be in the following form:

$a x^2 + bx+c = 0$

Therefore the possible answer should be the following,

$\frac{-4 + \sqrt{4^2 - 4*3*(-2)}}{2*3}=\frac{-4 +\sqrt{16 + 24}}{6} =\frac{-4 + \sqrt{40}}{6}=\\ \frac{-4 + \sqrt{4*10}}{6} = \frac{-4 + 2\sqrt{10}}{6}$ $\frac{2*(-2 + \sqrt{10})}{2*3} = \frac{-2 + \sqrt{10}}{3}$

by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, we can deduce the following,
