Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total population of students will be equal to the sum of both those who wore the silly hat and those who didn't hence

Total students= 74+666=740

Number of students who wore silly hat is given as 74 hence when expressed as a percentage of the total students' population we get that

percentage of the students wore a silly hat=\frac {74\times 100}{740}=10\%

Therefore, 10% of students wore a silly hat last Tuesday

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola.  The first few steps are as follows.  Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex.  Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign.  The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out).  Let's start there.  The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

-2x^2+4x=-1.  Now we factor out the -2:

-2(x^2-2x)=-1.  Now we complete the square.  This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 2x.  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  We add 1 into the set of parenthesis.  But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2).  The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it.  Adding in to both sides looks like this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2.  Simplifying gives us this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex.  Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

-2(x-1)^2+3=y

From this form,

y=-a(x-h)^2+k

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

-3x+4>-23 what is the answer I need help
Dmitrij [34]
X<9
The answer is x<9 because you first subtract 4 from both sides then divide both sides by -3. Which then would give you 9.

can someone please help me out with this problem ? i been trying to do this for like 2 days now and i still don’t get it .. also
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the Pythagorean theorem is

c is the hypotenuse which is the side opposite of the right angle

plug the numbers into the Pythagorean theorem

x^2+(\sqrt{26})^2=13^2

when squaring a square root, just take the number in the radical and get rid of the radical

x^2+26=169

subtract 26 from both sides

x^2=143

find the square root of 143

143 is prime so it can just be written as

x=\sqrt{143}
