almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) There are 850 total teens and 32% like rock.

32% of 850 = 0.32*850 = 272 teens like rock

B) 75% of teens = 150 teens. Make total teens = x. 75%x = 150

0.75x = 150

x = 200 teens like pop

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

Natasha2012 [34]

Both A and C would be solutions to the equation.

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.

2x^2+5x+8=6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.

a = 2 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5 (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 2 (because it is the end number)

Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.

$\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{5^{2} - 4(2)(2) } }{2(2)}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{9} }{4}$

$\frac{-5 +/- 3 }{4}$

$\frac{-5 + 3 }{4}$ or -1/2 for the first answer

$\frac{-5 - 3 }{4}$ or -2 for the second answer

A boy, flying a kite, holds the string 5 feet above the ground and plays out string at 2 ft./sec. as the kite moves horizontally

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:y=105 - 5 = 100 ft

z=125 ft

dz/dt=2 ft/sec

by using Pythagorean Theorem, we find x

x^2 + 100^2 = 125^2

x = 75

Sita and Radha purchased a car for rupees 320000 due to some economic problem they sold it for 280000.find the loss incured and

musickatia [10]

Answer:

40000 and 12.5% respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

soln:

given,

cost price(c.p)=320000

selling price(s.p)=280000

loss(l),loss percentage(l%)=?

we know,

l=c.p-s.p

or,l=320000-280000

•°•l=40000

now,

l%=l/c.p*100%

or,l%=40000/320000*100%

•°•l%=12.5%
