Liz scored higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Correct answers by Austin = 92%

Total questions = 50

Correctly answered by Liz = 47

Percent of Liz's correct answers = $\frac{Correct\ answers}{Total\ questions}*100$

Percent of Liz's correct answers = $\frac{47}{50}*100$

Percent of Liz's correct answers = $\frac{4700}{50} = 94\%$

As 94% is higher than 92%, therefore;

Liz scored higher.

Find the x- and y- intercepts of parabola y=5x^2-16x+10

____ [38]

Y-INTERCEPT

$y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10$

The y-intercept is where the equation/curve/parabola cosses the y-axis.

The y-axis is where x = 0. (The x-axis is where y = 0)

To find the y-intercept:

$\text{y-axis} \rightarrow \text{x = 0} \rightarrow y = 5(0)^2 -16(0) + 10 = 10$

The y-intercept must be at (0, 10)

X-INTERCEPT (ROOTS/SOLUTIONS)

$y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10\\\text{make it equal 0}\\y = 0\\\therefore 5x^2 - 16x + 10 = 0$

We need to use the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula helps us find what values of $x$ make the equation = 0

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-16) + \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{256-200}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{56}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + 2\sqrt{14}}{10}\\x = \frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\\\\\\x=\frac{-(-16) - \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\text{doing the same thing...}\\\text{end up with...}\\x = \frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}\\$

The x-intercepts are at:

$(\frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)\\(\frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)$

Six students collect buttons for a project. The students have 10, 14, 15, 12, 13, and 14 buttons. They divide the buttons evenly

vovangra [49]

Answer:

13 buttons

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to add the buttons received by the 6 students.

= 10 + 14 + 15 + 12 + 13 + 14

= 78 buttons

Therefore the number of buttons received by each students can be calculated as follows

= 78/6

= 13 buttons

Hence each student will receive 13 buttons

Find parametric equations for the path of a particle that moves along the circle x2 + (y − 1)2 = 16 in the manner described. (En

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ , b) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ , c) $x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the circle is:

$x^{2} + (y-1)^{2} = 16$

After some algebraic and trigonometric handling:

$\frac{x^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16} = 1$

$\frac{x^{2}}{16} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{16} = \cos^{2} t + \sin^{2} t$

Where:

$\frac{x}{4} = \cos t$

$\frac{y-1}{4} = \sin t$

Finally,

$x = 4\cdot \cos t$

$y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$

a) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ .

b) $x = 4\cdot \cos t$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t$ .

c) $x = 4\cdot \cos t''$ , $y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin t''$

Where:

$4\cdot \cos t' = 0$

$1 + 4\cdot \sin t' = 5$

The solution is $t' = \frac{\pi}{2}$

The parametric equations are:

$x = 4\cdot \cos \left(t+\frac{\pi}{2} \right)$

$y = 1 + 4\cdot \sin \left(t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$

I need help with this question please!!!

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each point of function b(x) is shifted by rule

x -----> ( x - 2 )

and

y -----> (y + 3)

( - 1.5, 0) ------> (- 3.5, 3)

(- 1, - 1) -----> ( - 3, 2)

(0, - 2) ------> ( - 2, 1)

(1, - 1) -----> ( - 1, 2)

(2, 3) -----> (0, 6)

(4, 7) -----> (2, 10)
