$x^2-2x-3=0 \\
(x^2-2x+1)-1-3=0 \\
(x-1)^2-4=0 \\
\boxed{(x-1)^2=4}$

Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. Five-eighths of the votes were for blue,

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of votes to choose a color = x

Number of votes for blue = $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

Remaining votes = x - $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{8x-5x}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{3}{8}\times x$

Votes for green = $\frac{5}{9}\times (\text{Remaining votes})}$

= $\frac{5}{9}\times \frac{3x}{8}$

= $\frac{5}{24}\times x$

Finally remaining votes = $\frac{3x}{8}-\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{9x-5x}{24}$

= $\frac{4x}{24}$

= $\frac{x}{6}$

Since these votes are for red therefore,

$\frac{x}{6}$ = 48

x = 48×6

= 288

a) Votes for blue are $\frac{5x}{8}$

Therefore, exact number for blue votes = $\frac{5\times 288}{8}$

= 5×36

= 180

b). Votes for green = $\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{5\times 288}{24}$

= 60

c). Since 25 students were absent on that day of the vote, number of students at Riverside Elementary School = 288 + 25

= 313

d). Since seven tenths of the votes for blue were made by the girls.

Therefore, number of girls voted for blue = $\frac{7}{10}\times 180$

= 7×18

= 126

Since total votes made = 288

Therefore, half of the votes made = $\frac{288}{2}$

= 144

Now it's clear that number of votes made by girls is less than half of all the votes.

e). 126 girls voted for blue.

A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in the system of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 43 ft/s. Its height

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Instantaneous Velocity at t = 1 is 20 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given he following information in the question:

$y(t)=43t-23t^{2}$

B) Instantaneous Velocity at t = 1

$y(1) = 43(1)-23(1)^2 = 20$

A) Formula:

Average velocity =

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}$

1) 0.01

$y(1 + 0.01)=y(1.01) = 43(1.01)-23(1.01)^{2} = 19.9677\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.01)-y(1)}{1.01-1} =\dfrac{19.9677-20}{1.01-1}= \dfrac{-0.0323}{0.01} = -3.230000 \text{feet per second}$

2) 0.005 s

$y(1 + 0.005)=y(1.005) = 43(1.005)-23(1.005)^{2} = 19.984425\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.005)-y(1)}{1.005-1} =\dfrac{19.984425-20}{1.005-1} = -3.1150000 \text{feet per second}$

3) 0.002 s

$y(1 + 0.002)=y(1.002) = 43(1.002)-23(1.002)^{2} = 19.993908\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.002)-y(1)}{1.002-1} =\dfrac{19.993908-20}{1.002-1} = -3.0460000 \text{feet per second}$

4) 0.001 s

$y(1 + 0.001)=y(1.001) = 43(1.001)-23(1.001)^{2} = 19.996977\\\\\text{Average Velocity} = \dfrac{y(1.001)-y(1)}{1.001-1} =\frac{19.996977-20}{1.001-1} = -3.0230000 \text{feet per second}$
