$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Given:}}}$

Total number of rotten mangoes in the bag = 6

Total number of good mangoes in the bag = 24

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {To\:find:}}}$

Fraction of the rotten mangoes to the total mangoes.

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Solution:}}}$

$\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \frac{1}{5} }}}}}}$

$\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Step-by-step\:explanation :}}}$

Total number of mangoes in the bag = Total number of rotten mangoes + Total number of good mangoes

➺ $\:6 + 24$

➺ $\:30$

Now,

Fraction = $\frac{Total \: \: number \: \: of \: \: rotten \: \: mangoes}{Total \: \: number \: \: of \: \: mangoes}$

➺ $\: \frac{6}{30}$

➺ $\: \frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, the fraction of the rotten mangoes to the total mangoes is $\sf\pink{\frac{1}{5}}$ .

Pick the correct description of the line 2y = 10

lana [24]

2y = 10
y = 10/2
y = 5 <==horizontal

this is a horizontal line. Anytime you have y = an integer, it is horizontal...and if u have x = an integer, it is a vertical line.

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (2, 0). use the quadratic formula to find the other x-intercept for the parabola

omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways to find the other x intercept.

1) Polynomial Long Division.

Divide x^2 - 3x + 2 by the binomial x - 2, because by the Factor Theorem if a is a root of a polynomial then x - a is a factor of said polynomial.

2) Just solving for x when y = 0, by using the quadratic formula.

$x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0\\x_{12} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(2)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 1}{2} = 2, 1$ .

So the other x - intercept is at (1, 0)

3) Using Vietta's Theorem regarding the solutions of a quadratic

Namely, the sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation is equal to the quotient between the negative coefficient of the linear term divided by the coefficient of the quadratic term.

$x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b}{a}$

And the product between the solutions of a quadratic equation is just the quotient between the constant term and the coefficient of the quadratic term.

$x_1 \cdot x_2 = \frac{c}{a}$
