A golf tournament has five rounds. The players are given scores for each round based on how many strokes they are above or below

72. Ricky has recorded his score for each of the 5 rounds.
Strokes - how many times a player swings the club or hit the ball

Round ------------------------------------------------1 2 3 4 5
Number of Strokes Above or Below 72 -5 +6 -2 +4 +5

Write an expression to represent Ricky's total number of strokes for the five rounds.

What was his average number of strokes per round? Show your work.​

Answer:

(A) ∫₁⁵[Xₙ + k] where n ranges from 1 to 5

(B) 73.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is clear enough. Kudos!

So there are many players but we're focusing on Ricky.

Ricky has already recorded his score for each of the 5 rounds in the tournament.

The number of strokes in Ricky's record are to be added to or subtracted from a given number 72

ROUND 1:    [72 - 5] strokes = 67

ROUND 2:   [72 + 6] strokes = 78

ROUND 3:   [72 - 2] strokes = 70

ROUND 4:   [72 + 4] strokes = 76

ROUND 5:   [72 + 5] strokes = 77

(A) Write an expression to represent Ricky's total number of strokes for the five rounds.

Do not panic at this first exercise. You are to write an expression which when evaluated, will give the total number of strokes for all five rounds!

You are already given an abstract number '72' to work with in this question.

It is a fixed quantity which influences the value of strokes for each round.

We will represent this by an algebra, if we have to create the above required expression.

The expression will then be:

∫₁⁵[Xₙ + k] where n ranges from 1 to 5

You already know that the sigma sign '∫' represents summation and that's summation from the subscript '1' to the superscript '5'.

X₁ would be -5,   X₂ would be +6,   X₃ would be -2,   X₄ would be +4,   X₅ would be +5

K is the constant 72

(B) What was Ricky's average number of strokes per round?

Out of the 5 rounds, the average number of strokes per round would be

[67 + 78 + 70 + 76 +77] ÷ 5

= 368/5  = 73.6

Answer:

39.9km a day

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the four kilometers cycled and you should get 159.6km cycled in total.  Divide that number by 4 to get 39.9km as a result.  So she's wrong.

A line passes through (-6,-1) and (3,2).What is the equation of the line?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You first find the slope:

(2 - (-1))/(3 - (-6)) =

3/9 =

1/3

This means the equation of the line is y = (1/3)x + b, where b is a real number.

Plug in either of the points to find the value of b:

-1 = (1/3)(-6) + b -->

-1 = -2 +b -->

1 = b

This means the equation is y = (1/3)x + 1

A parabola can be represented by the equation y2 = –x. What are the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix?
Vilka [71]
(y-k)²=4p(x-h)
(h,k) is vertex
and since we got the y term squred, it is facing left or right
when p is positive, then focus is to right of veretx
p is distance from focus to vertex and from vertex to dirextix

y²=-x
(y-0)²=4(-1/4)(x-0)
vertex is (0,0)
p is negative so then focus to left of vertex
so the focus is (-1/4,0)
dirextix is x=1/4
