Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given function is,

g(x) = x² + bx + 11

If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of this function, coordinates of the given point will satisfy the equation of the function.

If a point (1, 8) lies on the graph of the given function,

g(-1) = (-1)² + b(-1) + 11 = 8

1 - b + 11 = 8

12 - b = 8

b = 12 - 8

b = 4

Therefore, b = 4 will be the value of b.

What is the rate of change for a linear function that passes through the points (8, -10) and (-6, 14)

Anna71 [15]

Answer: $m=-1.714$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

$y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6$

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

$m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}$

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

$m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714$

A chord of a circle is 66cm long, it is 56 cm from the center of the circle. What is the radius of the circle?

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

radius = 65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(See image attached for better comprehension)

To find the value of the radius, we just need to draw a triangle, where one side is half of the chord (the distance from the chord to the center creates a point that divides the chord in two equal segments), other side is the distance from the chord to the center, and the hypotenusa will be the radius.

So, using Pythagoras' theorem, we have that:

r^2 = 56^2 + 33^2

r^2 = 4225

r = 65 cm

Ray delivered 3/8 of the newspapers on his route in the first hour and 4/5 of the rest in the second hour what fraction of the n

Temka [501]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of Newspapers be x

Number of newspapers delivered in first hour of his route= $\frac{3}{8}$ of x

Total number of newspapers delivered in first hour= $\frac{3}{8}$ x

Number of newspapers left= x- $\frac{3x}{8}$

Number of newspapers left= $\frac{8x-3x}{8}$

Number of newspapers left= $\frac{5x}{8}$

Number of newspapers delivered in second hour=4/5 of $\frac{5x}{8}$

Number of newspapers delivered in second hour= $\frac{x}{2}$

Fraction of newspapers delivered in second hour is= $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

$\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}$

$\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }$

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

$30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500$

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

$30x/30=7500\\x=250$

5 buses can carry 250 people.
