Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

During 2008-2009 session, 20% of students were in A-B Honor Roll.

During 2009-2010, 200 out of 1000 students were in A-B Honor Roll. What's that in percentage? We divide 200 by 1000 and then multiply by 100:

$\frac{200}{1000}=0.2*100=20$

So, that's also 20%. That's the same as 2008-2009 session, so the principal is wronged!

Option A is correct: "A) There was no change in the number of students on honor roll from one year to the next."

A) There was no change in the number of students on honor roll from one year to the next. This is noticeable because 200/1000 = .2 just as 20%/100% = .2 or 20/100 = .2. So there never was a change!

what positive number satisfies the condition that twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1?

marshall27 [118]

Solve:

"twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n

Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:

2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.

We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.

Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:

disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.

That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4

x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.

You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.
