Answer:
x ≈ 21.7
I rounded to the nearest tenth because the values are given in tenths. The first few digits of x are below if you are rounding to something else, as the image is cut out.
Step-by-step explanation:
(It will not let me post, so I've attached a screenshot of my explanation:)
Answer:
Number of times she will hit the ball the next time she plays softball if she is at bat 20 times = 9 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of times Sierra hit the ball when she was at bat playing softball= 45%
So, we can find:
Number of times she will hit the ball the next time she plays softball if she is at bat 20 times =
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Start with
We observe that both fractions are not defined if . So, we will assume .
We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:
We multiply both sides by :
We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:
We check the solution:
which is true
Answer:
we start with -8 divided by 2 because of PEMDAS
we now have -4
then we do 4-4+3=3
