Complete Question

A contestant in a game show has​ 9,000 points. The contestant answers the next question incorrectly and loses 750 points. Does the word​ "lose" suggest a positive integer or a negative​ integer? What integer represents a loss of 750​ points?

a) Positive, + 750

b) Positive , - 750

c) Negative , +750

d) Negative , - 750

Answer:

d) Negative , - 750

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that the contestant has 9000 points

Then he loses 750 points.

This means that the 750 points would be deducted from the 9000 points he the contestant has already.

The word lose is a negative and it carries the Subtraction (-) sign,

hence, lose suggests a negative integer which is given as:

-750

Option d is the correct option

A series is defined by 5+9+13+17+.......+805 a. Find the number of terms of the series. b. Find the sum of the first 20 terms.​
puteri [66]

Answer: the number of terms of the series is 201 numbers

              the sum of the first 20 terms is 890    

the number of terms of the series is \frac{805-5}{4}+1=201

the series have:

u1 = 5

d = 4

=> u(n) = 5 + 4.(n - 1)

=> u(20) = 5 + 19.4 = 81

so the sum of the first 20 terms is (81 + 5).20/2 = 890

( u1 is the first number of the series, d is the  distance between front and rear numbers, u(n) is the overall term of the sequence, u(20) is the 20th of the series)

Use the ratio of a 30-60-90 triangle to solve for the variables.​
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x=12,\\y=6\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In all 30-60-90 triangles, the side lengths are in ratio x:x\sqrt{3}:2x, where x is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and 2x is the hypotenuse, or longest side, of the triangle.

Since there are 180 degrees in a triangle, the angle on top must be 30 degrees. Therefore, its opposite side is 6 and x=6 in the ratio x:x\sqrt{3}:2x.

Thus, we have:

y=\boxed{6\sqrt{3}},\\x=2\cdot 6=\boxed{12}
