On Aaron’s farm, 1/10 of the animals are cows, ⅖ of the animals are chickens,

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

There are 5 pigs on Aaron's farm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Start with 40 animals

2. 1/10 of the animals are cows, so divide 40 by 10 and you will find that 4 of the animals are cows

3. 2/5 of the animals are chickens, so multiple 40 by 2 to get 80 and then divide 80 by 5 and you will find that 16 of the animals are chickens

4. Subtract the 4 cows and 16 chickens from the 40 total animals and you find there are 20 more animals that are neither cows nor chickens

5. Of the 20 remaining animals, 1/4 are pigs, so divide 20 by 4 and you will find that there are 5 pigs

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

  d.  4 seconds after the ball is kicked

Step-by-step explanation:

The height function can be factored as ...

  h = -16t(t -4)

The values of t where h = 0 are 0 and 4.

The ball will reach the ground again 4 seconds after it is kicked.

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation 2x2 + x-1 = 2
algol [13]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x² + x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 2 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - \frac{3}{2}
