Answer:

Runner Up Amount=$16,000

Winner Amount=$64,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the college's scholarship=$80,000

The fund is being divided between the top two contestants so that the winner receives four times as much as the runner-up.

Therefore: we can say it is being divided into 5 parts where the winner gets 4 parts and the runner up gets 1 part, i.e in the ratio 4:1.

Runner Up Amount=\dfrac{1}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$16000

Winner Amount=\dfrac{4}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$64000

The winner gets $64,000 and the runner up gets $16,000.

Is the square root of eight a rational or irrational number
shutvik [7]
\bf \sqrt{8}\implies \sqrt{2\cdot 2\cdot 2}\implies \sqrt{2^2\cdot 2}\implies 2\sqrt{2}

it just so happen that √2 is an irrational number, so any product with it as a factor, will yield an irrational number as well.



factoid:   Ancient Greeks were scared of irrational numbers, and they steered clear from √2.

Sketch the graph of each line.<br> 2x-5y=25
ki77a [65]
Well, you transform the standard form equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), since you can only graph it using this form.

First of all, the layout of the equation is Ax+By=C

So, in this case, A is 2, B is 5, and C is 25.

Now, to put it into slope intercept form, you either use the formula to change it and solve it:

y= \frac{-A}{B}x+ \frac{C}{B} \\ y= \frac{-2}{-5}x+ \frac{25}{-5} \\  \\ y= \frac{2}{5}x-5

Or you can just solve for y:

2x-5y=25 \\ 2x-5y-2x=25-2x \\ -5y=-2x+25 \\  \frac{-5y}{-5}= \frac{-2x+25}{-5} \\  \\ y= \frac{2}{5}x-5

In addition, I attached what the graph looks like.

Hope this helps!

Just question 1 please!!!!!
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

by rewriting the function we can see that it has a minimum at

y=7x^2+7x-7\Rightarrow y=7(x^2+x-1)\Rightarrow y=7[(x+\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1}{4}-1]\Rightarrow

y=7[(x+\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{5}{4}]\Rightarrow minimum \ (-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{35}{4})

bye.
