You can read 100 pages in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pages read in 2 hours = 40

We need to find how many pages can you read in 5 hours.

We solve it using Unitary Method

Pages read in 2 hours = 40

Pages read in 1 hour = $\frac{40}{2}$

Pages read in 5 hour = $\frac{40}{2}\times5\\$

= $20\times 5=100$

So, you can read 100 pages in 5 hours.

Write the quadratic function in standard form.<br> f(x) = -x2 + 2x + 4<br> f(x) =

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

$f(x)=-1(x-2)^2+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The quadratic function is given as:

$f(x)=-x^2+2x+4$

The standard form of a quadratic function is given as:

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ , where, 'a', 'h' and 'k' are real numbers.

Now, in order to convert the given function to standard form, we use completing by square method.

$-x^2+2x=-(x^2-2x)=-[(x-2)^2-2^2]=-[(x-2)^2-4]=-(x-2)^2+4$

Now, $f(x)=-x^2+2x+4$ can be rewritten as:

$f(x)=-(x-2)^2+4+4\\f(x)=-1(x-2)^2+8$

Therefore, the standard form of the function is:

$f(x)=-1(x-2)^2+8$

In a probability experiment, Karen flipped a coin 84 times. The coin landed on heads 36 times. What percentage of the coin flips

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

57.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a coin has only two sides, heads or tails. Therefore if of the 84 times, 36 times he fell in heads, the other times he fell in tails.

84 - 36 = 48 times fell in tails.

Therefore to calculate the percentage that fell in tails, it would be the ratio between the number of times it fell in tails and the total number of experiments:

48/84 = 0.571, and that is 57.1%

Which means that 57.1% of the times the coin was thrown fell into tails.
