Answer:
William was 0.5 points away from a perfect score.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the teacher didn't subtract 5 points, he would have 24.5 + 5 = 29.5 points.
30 - 29.5 = 0.5
William was 0.5 points away from a perfect score.
Answer:
{2, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find x for ...
15 = 4|x -5| +3
12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3
3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4
±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value
5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5
The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.
(5,12,13) is a right triangle and can be constructed.
All the others do not satisfy the triangle inequality, i.e. the sum of two short sides must exceed the long side in order for the triangle to be constructed.
Examples:
2+11<15, so no
3+7<11, so no
4+8<15, so no
but 5+12>13 so yes, it can be constructed.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. 8.15%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Natasha is a bank teller, and she received a 5% raise last year and a subsequent merit raise of 3% this year, to determine what is the accumulative or compound effect of these two raises as a percentage, the following calculation must be performed, assuming, as an example, that her starting salary was $ 2,000:
(2,000 x 1.05) x 1.03 = X
2,100 x 1.03 = X
2,163 = X
2,000 = 100
2,163 = X
2,163 x 100 / 2,000 = X
216,300 / 2,000 = X
108.15 = X
108.15 - 100 = 8.15
Thus, the compound effect of both salary increases is a salary increase of 8.15%.
