Answer:

68 to 82 Points.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range of scores that Marjorie needs to have to stay in the 70 to 79 range we first need to define the variables that we need to find.

Let x = Score that Marjorie needs

Since the exam is worth 6 exams, we will then use 6x to denote the weight of the final exam.

Now we need to add all the other exams and divide it to the number of exams.

\dfrac{6x + 71 + 77 + 72}{9}

\dfrac{6x + 220}{9}

Now let's look for the score that Marjorie needs to get a 70 average.

\dfrac{6x + 220}{9}=70

We begin by multiplying both sides by 9 to remove to begin solving for x.

6x+220=(9)70

6x+220=630

6x=630-220

\dfrac{6x}{6} =\dfrac{410}{6}

x=68.33

So the minimum score that Marjorie needs is 68.

Now let's look for the score that Marjorie needs to get to a 79 average.

We still use the same values except the average.

\dfrac{6x + 220}{9}=79

We begin by multiplying both sides by 9 to remove to begin solving for x.

6x+220=(9)79

6x+220=711

6x=711-220

\dfrac{6x}{6} =\dfrac{491}{6}

x=81.83 or {tex}82[/tex]

So the range of scores that Marjorie needs to get an average of 70 to 79 is 68 to 82 Points.

Square of 9 less than a number is 3 less than the number
ale4655 [162]

Answer:Let the number be x, then (x - 9)^2 = x - 3

x^2 - 18x + 81 = x - 3

x^2 - 19x + 84 = 0

(x - 12)(x - 7) = 0

x = 12 or 7

You are a landlord, and your tenant complains that you are in violation of the ADA because your wheelchair ramp is too steep. An
Savatey [412]

Answer:

  Not justified

Step-by-step explanation:

ADA requirements are for a slope of 1 in 12 or less, an 8.3% grade, or an angle of 4.8° (actually, 4.764° when rounded to 3 decimal places). The ramp angle found by the assessor is compliant.

  The tenant complaint does not seem justified.

Find a polynomial equation that has zeros at x = -4, x = 0, and a double root at x = 7.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a polynomial f(x) with roots say x = a and x = b, then the factors are

(x - a) and (x - b) and f(x) is the product of the roots, that is

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)

Here the roots are x = - 4, x = 0 and double root at x = 7

Thus factors are (x - (- 4)), (x - 0), that is (x + 4) and x

Given a double root at x = 7 the factor is (x - 7)², thus polynomial is

y = x(x + 4)(x - 7)² → D
