Answer:

2067 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.

This means 3/5 votes support a candidate

Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x

If 1,240 voters support the candidate,

how many voters participated in the election in all?

Hence,

3/5 of x = 1240 voters.

3/5 × x = 1240

3x /5 = 1240

Cross Multiply

3x = 1240 × 5

x = 1240 × 5/3

x = 2066.6666667 voters

Approximately to the nearest whole number:

2067 voters

Find the distance points p (3,6) and q (7,3) to the nearest tenth?
Vladimir79 [104]
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>

=========================================================

One method is to plot the points P(3,6) and Q(7,3) on the same xy grid.  Plot a third point R at (3,3). See the diagram below.

A right triangle forms in which we can find the legs PR = 3 and RQ = 4. The hypotenuse is found through the pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+4^2 = c^2

9+16 = c^2

c^2 = 25

c = sqrt(25)

c = 5

This is the length of PQ

-----------------------------------

Or you can use the distance formula which is effectively using the pythagorean theorem just in a slightly different format (though it may not be obvious).

d = \text{Distance from P to Q}\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-7)^2+(6-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2+(3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16+9}\\\\d = \sqrt{25}\\\\d = 5\\\\

Tom throws a ball into the air. The ball travels on a parabolic path represented by the equation , where represents the height o
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

2.5 second

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is missing in the question.

The equation is,  h=-8t^2+40t  , where 'h' is the height and 't' is time measured in second.

Now we know to reach its maximum height, h in t seconds, the derivative of h with respect to time t is given by :

\frac{dh}{dt} =0

Now the differentiating the equation with respect to time t, we get

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(-8t^2+40t)

\frac{dh}{dt}=-16t+40

For maximum height,  \frac{dh}{dt} =0

So, -16t+40=0

 \Rightarrow 16t=40

\Rightarrow t=\frac{40}{16}

\Rightarrrow t = 2.5

Therefore, the ball takes 2.5 seconds time to reach the maximum height.

Hem dibuixat tres rectangles. En el primer, la llargada mesura 3 cm més que l'amplada. El segon i tercer rectangle tenen unes di
quester [9]

Resposta:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 14

Segon rectangle:

Amplada = 12

Longitud = 15

Tercer rectangle:

Amplada = 13

Longitud = 16

Explicació pas a pas:

Donat que:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = x

Longitud = x + 3

2n rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió d'1 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 1

Longitud = x + 4

3r rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió de 2 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 2

Longitud = x + 5

Suma dels tres perímetres del rectangle:

Perímetre d'un rectangle: 2 (l + O)

Primer rectangle:

2 (x + x + 3) = 2 (2x + 3) = 4x + 6

2n:

2 (x + 1 + x + 4) = 2 (2x + 5) = 4x + 10

3r:

2 (x + 2 + x + 5) = 2 (2x + 7) = 4x + 14

Suma de perímetres = 162

(4x + 6 + 4x + 10 + 4x + 14) = 162

12x + 30 = 162

12x = 162 - 30

12x = 130

x = 11

Per tant,

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 11 + 3 = 14

2n rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 1 = 12

Longitud = 11 + 4 = 15

3r rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 2 = 13

Longitud = 11 + 5 = 16
