The greatest amount of friends he can have is 7
-2 = - x + x^2 -4 => x^2 - x - 4 + 2 = 0
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
a is the coefficient of x^2 => a = 1
b is the coefficient of x => b = - 1
c is the constant term => c = - 2
quadratic equation: [- b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a =
= { 1 +/- √[ (-1)^2 - 4(1)(-2)] } / (2(1) = { 1 +/- √ (1 + 8) } / 2 = {1 +/- √9} / 2 =
= { 1 +/- 3} / 2
To determine this, we need to set up proportions.
x/100 = 75/500.
A quick way to find x, the percentage we're looking for, is to cross multiply our fractions.
100 x 75 and 500 with x.
75 x100 = 7500, and 500 times x is 500x.
7500=500x
Divide by 500 on each side.
15 = x
Your answer is C.)15%.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
280
Step-by-step explanation:
50% is half, so to get the total, multiply 140*2 which is 280.
Answer:
1. 144 2. 16 3. 1 4. 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
So think of this as a function in a function. So you work from the inside to the outside. So for problem 1, we start with f(4)) [you read it "f of 4"] so what is the solution when x = 4, since f(x) means the function of x so f(4) means 'the function of 4' inside f(x).
Since f(x) = 3x then f(4) = 3(4) [notice how you substitute the 4 everywhere you see a letter x]
so f(4) = 12, now you work the next part h(f(4)) since f(4)=12 then h(12)
So take the h(x) function which is h(x) = 
then h(12) = 
so h(12) = 144
