Answer:

Proportion of games an NFL team wins.

Proportion of defective products in a shipment.

Proportion of voters of a certain candidate in an election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion is a relationship between measures.

Examples in real life are:

Proportion of games an NFL team wins.

For example, this past regular season, the Buffalo Bills won 13 games out of 16, so the proportion of games won by the Bills is 13/16 = 0.8125.

Other possible examples are:

Proportion of defective products in a shipment.

Proportion of voters of a certain candidate in an election.

GCSE maths question about the turning point of the graph.<br> please help!
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of the turning point are (2, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the turning points of the quadratic equation

y = ax² + bx + c, are (h, k), where

  • h = \frac{-b}{2a}
  • k is the value of y at x = h

∵ The equation of the curve is y = x² + bx + c

→ By comparing it with the form above

∴ a = 1

∵ The point (0, -5) lies on the curve

→ Substitute x by 0 and y by -5 in the equation to find the value f c

∵ -5 = (0)² + b(0) + c

∴ -5 = 0 + 0 + c

∴ -5 = c

→ Substitute it in the equatin

∴ y = x² + bx - 5

∵ The point (5, 0) lies on the curve

→ Substitute x by 5 and y by 0 in the equation to find the value f c

∵ 0 = (5)² + b(5) - 5

∴ 0 = 25 + 5b - 5

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∴ 0 = 20 + 5b

→ Subtract 5b from bth sides

∵ 0 - 5b = 20 + 5b - 5b

∴ -5b = 20

→ Divide both sides by -5 to find b

∴ b = -4

→ Substitute it in the equatin

∴ y = x² - 4x - 5

∵ a = 1 and b = -4

→ Substitute them in the rule of h above t find it

∵ h = \frac{-(-4)}{2(1)} = \frac{4}{2}

∴ h = 2

→ To find k, substitute x by 2 and y by k

∵ k = (2)² - 4(2) - 5

∴ k = 4 - 8 - 5

∴ k = -9

∴ The cordinates of the turning point are (2, -9)

A competitive diver dives from a 33-foot high diving board. The height of the diver in feet after 't' seconds is given by u(t) =
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

t  = 0.375s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t) = -16t^2 + 4t + 33 --- driver 1

Rate = 2ft/s -- driver 2

height = 33ft

Required

The time they passed each other

First, we determine the function of driver 2.

We have that:

Rate = 2ft/s and height = 33ft

So, the function is:

h_2(t) = Height - Rate * t

h_2(t) = 33 - 2t

The time they drive pass each other is calculated as:

h(t) = h_2(t)

-16t^2 + 4t + 33= 33 - 2t

Collect like terms

-16t^2 + 4t + 2t= 33 - 33

-16t^2 + 6t= 0

Divide through by 2t

-8t + 3= 0

Solve for -8t

-8t  = -3

Solve for t

t  = \frac{-3}{-8}

t  = 0.375s

Vivi is a drummer for a band. She burns 756 calories while drumming for 3hours. She burns the same number of calories per hour.
lions [1.4K]

This question uses the concept of the division.

Vivi, the band drummer, burns 765 calories in 3 hours. And she burns these calories at the same rate. Which means she burns the same amount of calories per hour.

Thus, the set up equation for this question will be:

Energy burnt in 3 hours=756 calories

Therefore, Energy burnt in 1 hour = \frac{756}{3} =252 Calories.

Thus, the required answer is that Vivi burns 252 Calories of energy per hour while drumming.
