Answer:

b.) 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent formula:

x/y = p/100

where x is the fraction, y is the total, and p is the percent

This means:

x = number of games the team won

y = total number of games

p = percent the number of teams won

Let's plug these values into the equation:

x/y = p/100

x/160 = 65/100

Solve by cross-multiplying:

x/160 = 65/100

100(x) = 100x

160(65) = 10,400‬

100x = 10,400

/100 /100

x = 104

Therefore, the team won 104 games.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-\bigg[(x-3)^2+2x\bigg]+1}\\\\\boxed{-x^2+4x-8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(g\ \circ\ f)(x)=g\bigg(f(x)\bigg)$

$f(x)=(x-3)^2+2x\\\\g(x)=-x+1\\\\g\ \circ\ f\to\text{put f(x) instead of x in the function g(x)}:\\\\(g\ \circ\ f)(x)=-\bigg[\underbrace{(x-3)^2+2x}_{x}\bigg]+1$

-----------------------------------------

$-\bigg[(x-3)^2+2x\bigg]+1=-(x-3)^2-2x+1\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=-(x^2-(2)(x)(3)+3^2)-2x+1=-(x^2-6x+9)-2x+1\\\\=-x^2-(-6x)-9-2x+1=-x^2+6x-9-2x+1\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\=-x^2+(6x-2x)+(-9+1)=-x^2+4x-8$

-----------------------------------

$-x^2+4x-8=-x^2+4x-2^2+2^2-8=-(x^2-4x+2^2)+4-8\\\\=-(\underbrace{x^2-(2)(x)(2)+2^2}_{(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2})-4=-(x-2)^2-4=-(x+1-3)^2-4$

$In\ (-x+1-3)^2+2x,\ x^2\ will\ be\ positive.\\In\ (-x+1-3)^2+2(-x+1),\ x^2\ will\ be\ positive.$

A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 US adults found that 42% believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. Construct a

Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=0.42$ and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of $\hat{p}$ is $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156$ . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ where $\alpha=0.01$ and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the $\alpha/2$ th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, $0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156$ , i.e., $0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156)$ or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).

Compute 7-9-2+10-4?

alexandr1967 [171]

I believe it would be 2. Since 7-9= -2 then subtract another 2 which equals -4 then add 10 which equals 6 then subtract 4. Which equals 2.

2 is the answer, hope this helps
