Votes received by Wayne is 112

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

<em><u>Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne</u></em>

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x  ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Neal received twenty less votes than Juan</u></em>

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Kerry got half as many votes as Neal</u></em>

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = \frac{4x - 20}{2}  ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112

Therefore votes received by Wayne is 112

Does the function f(x) = 2x^2− 6x + 9 have a minimum or a maximum? Identify its value.
exis [7]

Answer:

minimum value of function is   \frac{45}{8} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function represents a parabola.

Now, here coefficient of x^{2} is positive , so the parabola will be facing upwards and thus the function will be having a minimum.

Now, as we know that minimum value of a parabolic function occurs at

x = \frac{-b}{4a} .

Where , b represents the coefficient of x and a represents the coefficient of x^{2} .

here, a = 2 , b = -6

Thus \frac{-b}{4a} = \frac{6}{8}

                                            =  \frac{3}{4}

So, at x =  \frac{3}{4}  minimum value will occur and which equals

y = 2×\frac{9}{16} - \frac{18}{4} + 9 =  \frac{45}{8} .

Thus , minimum value of function is   \frac{45}{8} .

Each output value is equal to the square of the input value minus<br> five
Ivenika [448]

i think that A pair of an input value and its corresponding output value is called an ordered pair and can be written as (a, b). In an ordered pair the first number, the input a, corresponds to the horizontal axis and the second number, the output b, corresponds to the vertical axis.

We can thus write our values as ordered pairs

(0, 0) - This ordered pair is also referred to as the origin

(1, 2.5)

(2, 5)

(3, 7.5)

These ordered pairs can then be plotted into a graph.

Oakville is a fungal disease that infects oak trees scientists have discovered that a single tree in a small forest is infected
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

I solved part a

To solve this question, we need to solve an exponential equation, which we do applying the natural logarithm to both sides of the equation, getting that it will take 7.6 years for for 21 of the trees to become infected.

PART C

The logarithmic model is: g(x)= in x/0.4

We are given an exponential function, for the amount of infected trees f(x) after x years.To find the amount years needed for the number of infected trees to reach x, we find the inverse function, applying the natural logarithm.

Step-by-step explanation:
