At a local election there were two propositions on the ballot, R and S. Twice as many voters voted "yes" for R as for S. If the

number who voted "yes" for R but "no" for S was 750 and the number who voted "yes" for S but "no" for R was 310, how many voted "yes" for both propositions?a. 122b. 127c. 130d. 135

Answer:

c. 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call B the quantity of voters who voted yes for both propositions.

From the question we know that twice as many voters voted "yes" for R as for S, that can be written as the following equation:

R+B=2(S+B)

Where R is the number who voted "yes" for R but "no2 for S and S is the number who voted "yes" for S but "no" for R.

Replacing R by 750 and S by 310 and solving for B, we get:

750+B=2(310+B)

750+B=620+2B

2B-B=750-620

B=130

So, 130 voters voted yes for both propositions

A ball is thrown vertically upward. After t seconds, its height h (in feet) is given by the function h(t) = 52t - 16t^2 . What i
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

42.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height function is a parabola.  The maximum value of a negative parabola is at the vertex, which can be found with:

x = -b/2a

where a and b are the coefficients in y = ax² + bx + c.

Here, we have y = -16t² + 52t.  So a = -16 and b = 52.  The vertex is at:

t = -52 / (2×-16)

t = 13/8

Evaluating the function:

h(13/8) = -16(13/8)² + 52(13/8)

h(13/8) = -169/4 + 169/2

h(13/8) = 169/4

h(13/8) = 42.25

5% of what number is 63?
masha68 [24]
To find the percentage of a number, you take the percent - 5% - and change it to a decimal by moving the percent over 2 times to the left and multiplying it by the number. So...

.05 x 63
= 3.15

Answer: 5% of 63 is 3.15
