Murljashka [212]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 8x + 5

BC = 5x² - 16

5x² -  16 = 8x + 5

5x² - 8x - 21 = 0

Quadratic formula

x = [8 ± √(8² – 4·5(-21))] / [2·5]

 = [8 ± √484] / 10

 = [8 ± 22] /10

 = -1.4, 3

-1.4 is an extraneous solution.

x = 3

AB = 8x+5 = 29

AC = 58

The final exam of a particular class makes up 40% of the final grade, and Moe is failing the class with an average (arithmetic m
amm1812

Answer:

%82.5

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The final exam of a particular class makes up 40% of the final grade
  2. Moe is failing the class with an average (arithmetic mean) of 45% just before taking the final exam.

From point 1 we know that Moe´s grade just before taking the final exam represents 60% of the final grade. Then, using the information in the point 2 we can compute Moe´s final grade as follows:

FG=0.40*FE+0.60*0.45,

where FG is Moe´s Final Grade and FE is Moe´s final exam grade. Then,

\frac{ FG-0.60*0.45}{0.40}=FE.

So, in order to receive the passing grade average of 60% for the class Moe needs to obtain in his exam:

FE=\frac{ 0.60-0.60*0.45}{0.40}=0.825

That is, he need al least %82.5 to obtain a passing grade.
