2/5 of 20 = 8. 

3/10 of 20= 6. 

8+6=14. So 20-14= 6

She needs 14 pints, so you subtract 6 from that. Your final answer should be 8 pints.

Mathilda would need to buy 8 more pints of green paint

Further Explanation:

The given question is a typical number problem, and it deals with fractions and whole numbers. In order to derive solutions to numbers problem like the one given, some order of operations i.e. BODMAS would be used. BODMAS is an acronym of Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. The below given explanation would involve the use of BODMAS.

Solution:  

Total amount of pints she has = 20 pints

Amount she used to paint a landscape =

2/5 x 20 = 20 x 2 ÷ 5

  = 40 ÷ 5  

  = 8

Amount she used to paint a clover =

3/10 x 20 = 20 x 3 ÷ 10

    = 60 ÷ 10

    = 6

Total amount of used pints of green paint =

Amount she used to paint a landscape + Amount she used to paint a clover =

   = 8 + 6

   = 14

Remainder of pints =

Total amount of pints she has – Total amount of used pints of green paint =

   = 20 – 14  

   = 6  

Determining how much pints she will buy for her next painting:

For her next painting, she needs 14 pints

Her remainder = 6  pints

To derive how much pints she needs to buy, 6 pints would subtracted from 14 pints

  = 14 – 6  

  = 8

Therefore, the total amount of more pints she will buy for next painting = 8

Answer:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

-\frac{x^3}{6} - 10 + x

First, what does that expression represents?

As al the powers of x are positive numbers, we can see that this is a polynomial, and the largest power is 3, so this is a polynomial of degree 3, also called a cubic polynomial.

How many terms are there?

The terms are the things separated by + or - symbols, is easy to see that there are 3 terms.

What is the constant term?

The constant term is the term where the variable, x, does not appear, here the constant term is: -10

What is the leading coefficient?

The leading coefficient is the coefficient that multiplies the term with the largest power of x, in this case, we can rewrite:

-\frac{x^3}{6}  -10 + x = (\frac{-1}{6})*x^3 - 10 + x

the leading coefficient is:

(-1/6)

There is a part of the statement that I can't read, i suppose that there says:

"leading degree"

this is just the largest power of x that appears in the polynomial, in this case, is 3.

Then the complete statement is:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

Answer:

B. 7.9 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I.

Finding the fraction of the circle that is the sector

To start, let’s find the fraction of the circle that the sector covers. Since the measure of the central angle is 36, we get 36/360 or 1/10 of the circle.

Part II.

Finding the area of the Circle

The area of a circle is pi*r^2. Since r=5, then the area is 25pi.

Part III.

Finding the area of the sector.

Since the sector is 1/10 of the circle, its area is 1/10 of the circle’s area. So the area of the sector is 25/10*pi or (5/2)pi. This is approximately 7.9 in^2.

Anni [7]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 in 600. There would then be 2.5 for 100, but we round that to 3. There are 1 per every 40 in 200, so we have 19. We have 20 left, and could expect at least one, so it is 20. :)

Which equation has x-intercepts located at (-1,0) and (-5,0)?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

B. y = (x+1)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x-intercepts are (-1,0) and (-5,0), then the solutions (also called zeros and x-intercepts) are

x = -1 and x = -5

This is a "working backwards" kind of problem. If you were solving the equation, right before the final step, x=-1 would have been:

x + 1 = 0

Right before x=-5

would have been,

x + 5 = 0.

These two: x+1 and x+5 are called the linear factors. You multiply them back together to find the equation.

y = (x+1)(x+5)
