If you divide 6 by 8= 0.75, which is equivalent to 75%. So Amber made 75% of her free throws.

Step 1:
Divide the fraction
6/8= 0.75

Step 2:
Change decimal into % by moving decimal two places to the RIGHT or by multiplying by 100
0.75*100= 75%

Amber made 75% of her free throws.

Hope this helps! :)

In the system shown below, what are the coordinates of the solution that lies in quadrant IV?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The coordinates of the solution that lies in quadrant IV are (2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 equations, the first of an ellipse and the second of a circumference.

$2x^2+y^2=33\\x^2+y^2+2y=19$

To solve the system solve the second equation for x and then substitute in the first equation

$x^2+y^2+2y=19\\\\x^2 = 19 -y^2 -2y$

So Substituting in the first equation we have

$x^2 = 19 -y^2 -2y\\\\2(19 -y^2 -2y)+y^2=33\\\\38 -2y^2-4y +y^2 = 33\\\\-y^2-4y+5=0\\\\y^2 +4y-5 = 0$

Now we must factor the quadratic expression.

We look for two numbers that multiply as a result -5 and add them as result 4.

These numbers are -1 and 5.

Then the factors are

$y^2 +4y-5 = 0\\\\(y-1)(y+5) = 0$

Therefore the system solutions are:

$y = 1$ ; $y = -5$

In the 4th quadrant the values of x are positive and the values of y are negative.

So we take the negative value of y and substitute it into the system equation to find x

$y=-5\\\\2x^2+(-5)^2=33\\\\2x^2 = 33-25\\\\2x^2 = 8\\\\x^2 = 4$

$x = 2$ , and $x= -2$

In the 4th quadrant the values of x are positive

So we take the positive value of x

Help please it's due today. Also please leave an explanation too ty!

Answer:

B. 6π $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the help image I attached, what we are given is in RED and what we solve is in BLUE.

First, draw a diagonal in the square. Its length is the diameter, but we don't know the exact value. Since two right triangles have been created, we use Pythagorean Therom to solve for the hypotenuse/diameter:

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\6^2+6^2=c^2$
