Is 2/3 bigger than 3/5

2/3 is greater than 3/5 because if you cross multiply, you'll get 10 on left side and 9 on the right, which means 3/5 is less than 2/3.

Yes because 2/3 goes into 10/15 and 3/5 goes into 9/15

Write a quadratic function in standard form with zeros 1 and -10

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+9x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Standard Form of Quadratic Function</u>

The standard form of a quadratic function is:

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

where a,b, and c are constants.

The factored form of a quadratic equation is:

$f(x)=a(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)$

Where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots or zeros of f, and a is constant.

We know the zeros of the function are 1 and -10. The function is:

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x-(-10))$

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x+10)$

Operating:

$f(x)=a(x^2+10x-x-10)$

Joining like terms:

$f(x)=a(x^2+9x-10)$

Since we are not given any more restrictions, we can choose the value of a=1, thus. the required function is:

$\boxed{f(x)=x^2+9x-10}$

Two dance teams, the Roses and the Tulips, are perfectly matched so that their chances of winning are both set at 50%. What is t

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The fist step is to define the probabilities.

The events are independent from each other. Each team wins with probability $\frac{1}{2}$ and looses with probability $\frac{1}{2}.$ Let $P(W_R)$ be probability that Roses win and $P(L_R)$ be the probability that Roses loose.

Step 2

The second step is to calculate the probabilities by multiplying the probabilities with the first 3 terms in the product being the probability of a win and the last term being the probability of a loss.

The calculation is shown below,

$P(W_R)\times P(W_R)\times P(W_R)\times P(L_R)=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times\frac{1}{2} \times\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{16}$

Step 3

The last step is to convert this probability into a percentage. Converting this probability to a percentage is done as shown below,

$\frac{1}{16} \times 100\%=6.25\%.$

Step 4

The next step is to round down the percentage . The value of 6.25% rounded down is 6%. The correct answer is 6%.

27.) FEMALE LAWYERS There are 1,094,751 active lawyers living

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

28.6%; 313,099

Step-by-step explanation:

Lawyers are either male or female, so if 71.4% are male, then 100% minus that are female.

100% - 71.4% = 28.6%

28.6% of 1,094,751 is:

0.286 × 1094751 = 313098.786

Rounded to the nearest whole number, there are 313,099 female lawyers.

Blake is playing a racing game on his computer. The game tracks the locations of objects using and y coordinates (see graph belo

Anvisha [2.4K]

<h3>Answer: 2.2 units</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

I'll define these point labels

B = Blake's starting position
F = finish line
C = the third unmarked point of the triangle

The locations of the points are

B = (-8,1)
C = (-6,-3)
F = (4,-2)

Use the distance formula to find the distance from B to C

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (-8,1) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (-6,-3)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2 + (1-(-3))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8+6)^2 + (1+3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{20} \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\d \approx 4.47214 \ \ \text{... approximate distance}\\\\$

Segment BC is roughly 4.47214 units long.

Following similar steps, you should find that segment CF is approximately 10.04988 units long.

If Blake doesn't take the shortcut, then he travels approximately BC+CF = 4.47214+10.04988 = 14.52202 units. This is the path from B to C to F in that order.

---------

Use the distance formula again to find the distance from B to F. This distance is about 12.36932 units. He travels this amount if he takes the shortcut.

Subtract this and the previous result we got

14.52202 - 12.36932 = 2.1527

That rounds to 2.2

This is the amount of distance he doesn't have to travel when he takes the shortcut.

In other words, the track is roughly 2.2 units shorter when taking the shortcut.

Side note: Replace "units" with whatever units you're working with (eg: feet or meters).
