Answer: 14 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of cats to dogs is 9:7

The shelter has 18 cats

Suppose shelter has x dogs

\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{7}=\dfrac{18}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{18\times 7}{9}=14\ \text{dogs}

Hat is the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (2,–25) and an x-intercept at (7,0)?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

y = x² - 4x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 25), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 25

To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation

0 = a(7 - 2)² - 25 = a(5)² - 25 = 25a - 25 ( add 25 from both sides )

25a = 25 ( divide both sides by 25

a = 1, thus

y = (x - 2)² - 25 ← in vertex form

Expand and simplify

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 25

y = x² - 4x - 21 ← in standard form

Dina has a number cube that she uses for a game. The number cube has the shape of a triangular pyramid, with 4 faces numbered 1
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A) The relative frequencies in the table are reasonably close; C) The relative frequency of rolling an even number is 0.51.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative frequencies given are at most 0.02 apart.  This means they are reasonably close.

The theoretical probability for each outcome would be 1/4, or 0.25; this means the theoretical probability of rolling an even number would be 0.50, not 0.51.

However, the relative frequency of rolling an even number would be 0.24+0.27 = 0.51.

Since the relative frequencies are reasonably close, the number cube is likely to be fair.

How many solutions does the equation have?
Elina [12.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of d are different on the two sides of the equation (3d vs 6d), so the equation has one solution.

__

Dividing by 3 gives ...

  d +11 = 2(d +33)

  d + 11 = 2d + 66

Adding -d-66 to both sides gives ...

  -55 = d . . . . . . the one solution
