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

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

If a storm window has an area of 640 square inches, what is the equation to find the dimensions when the window is 20 inches hig
Lyrx [107]
Area = width * height
since the window is 20 inches higher than the width:
width +20 = height

640 = width * width+20
640 = width^2 +20*width
width^2 +20*width - 640 = 0
width = 17.203
**********************************************************
Double Check
if width = 17.203 then height = 37.203
area = 17.203 * 37.203 = 640 square inches Correct!!
