Answer:

23pupils

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of 18th grade boys this year = 18

Percentage decrease  = 28%

Unknown:

How many 8th grade teams were there last year  = ?

Solution:

Since this is a percentage decrease, ;

     Number of pupils this year  = Number of pupils last year - (28% x 18 )

                  18 + (28% x 18 ) = Number of pupils last year

         Number of pupils last year = 23pupils

Point slope means
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where the slope is m and a point on the graph is (x1,y1)

we are given
slope=-3
therefor
y-y1=-3(x-x1)
eliminate choices A and D
they gave us point (5,-7)
x1=5
y1=-7

y-(-7)=-3(x-5)
y+7=-3(x-5)

Sharon is jumping from an 18-foot diving board with an initial upward velocity of 4 ft/sWhen Sharon jumps, Megan throws a beach
likoan [24]

Answer:

1.08 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

<u>first equation:</u>

According to the data, sharon position will be

h(t)= -16 t^{2} + 4t +18---->eq(1)  

<u>Second equation;</u>

When Sharon jumps, Megan throws a beach ball up to Sharon with an initial upward velocity of 16 ft/s from a height 5 feet off the ground to the nearest hundredth of a second

therefore, ball position would be

h(t)= -16t^{2} +16t +5 --->eq(2)

In order to find how long after she jumps does the ball reach Sharon i.e time, we will equate eq(1) and eq(2)

Therefore,

eq(1)= eq(2)

-16t^{2} +4t +18 = -16t^{2} + 16t +5  --->(further simplifying it)

-16t^{2} + 16t^{2} + 18 -5 = 16t - 4t

13 = 12t

t= 13/12

t= 1.08 s

Thus it took 1.08 seconds.

For what value of x must ABCD be a parallelogram?<br><br> Picture below*
sesenic [268]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

BD is already given to you as bisected. AC must also be bisected. That means that 6x and 7x - 5 must the the same value. Then and only then will the figure be a parallelogram. (a four sided figure is a parallelogram if the 2 diagonals are bisected.

Equation

6x = 7x - 5                    Subtract 6x from both sides

Solution

6x - 6x = 7x - 6x - 5     Simplify

0 = x - 5                        Add 5 to both sides

5 = x - 5 + 5                 Simplify

x = 5
