Andre45 [30]

Answer:

3xyz

Step-by-step explanation:

The required sum = 7xyz+(−5xyz)+9xyz+(−8xyz)

=7xyz–5xyz+9xyz–8xyz

=(7–5+9–8)xyz

=(16–13)xyz

=3xyz

In a small chess tournament, 20 matches were played. Find out how many people were involved if it is known that each participant

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

5 players participated in the tournament.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a small chess tournament, 20 matches were played.

Let us assume that n number of players participated in the tournament

As in each game 2 players play, so the number of ways they can play is,

$=\ ^nC_2$

As they played 2 games with every other participant in the tournament.

So the total number of games is,

$=\ 2\times ^nC_2$

But it is given to be 20, so

$\Rightarrow \ 2\times ^nC_2=20$

$\Rightarrow \ ^nC_2=10$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=10$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{n(n-1)}{2}=10$

$\Rightarrow {n(n-1)=20$

As $5\times 4=20$ , so we get n=5.

Therefore, 5 players participated in the tournament.

Is the enlargement or a reduction? Find the scale factor of the dilation. Explain

malfutka [58]

Good evening ,

Answer:

In this case the dilation is a reduction (as you can see the image triangle is smaller than the original triangle)

and also the scale factor = OA’/OA = 2/6 = 1/3

since -1 < 1/3 < 1 then it’s a reduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the photo below for more details (notice OA’ and OA).

Graph f(x) =-2x^+16x-30 by factoring to find the solutions, then find the coordinates of the vertex, and the axis of symmetry. I

fredd [130]

Answer:

Observe attached image

Function zeros:

(3, 0), (5, 0)

Vertex:

(4, 2)

Axis of symmetry:

 $x =4$ 

Step-by-step explanation:

First factorize the function

$f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

Take -2 as a common factor.

$-2(x ^ 2 -8x +15)$

Now factor the expression $x ^ 2 -8x +15$

You must find two numbers that when you add them, obtain the result -8 and multiplying those numbers results in 15.

These numbers are -5 and -3

Then we can factor the expression in the following way:

$f (x) = -2(x-5)(x-3)$

The quadratic function cuts the x-axis at x = 3 and at x = 5.

Now we find the coordinates of the vertex.

For a function of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of its vertex is:

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

In the function $f (x) = -2x ^ 2 + 16x-30$

$a = -2\\b = 16\\c = 30$

Then the vertice is:

$x = \frac{-16}{2(-2)}\\\\x = 4$

The y coordinate of the symmetry axis is

$y = f (4) = -2 (4) ^ 2 +16 (4) -30\\\\y = 2$

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that cuts the parabola in two equal halves. This axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

Then the axis of symmetry is the line

$x = 4$

The solutions and the vertice written as ordered pairs are:

Function zeros:

(3, 0), (5, 0)

Vertex:

(4, 2)
