Given:

Total students = 60

Student passed = 85%

To find:

The number of students who failed and then convert it in %.

Solution:

We have,

Number of passed student = 85% of Total students

= $\dfrac{85}{100}\times 60$

= $51$

So, number of passes students is 51.

Number of students who failed = Total students - Passes students

= $60-51$

= $9$

So, number of students who failed is 9.

$\text{Fail}\%=\dfrac{\text{Failed students}}{\text{Total students}}\times 100$

$\text{Fail}\%=\dfrac{9}{60}\times 100$

$\text{Fail}\%=15$

Therefore, 15% students fail in the test.

Every _____ tessellates. A. Decagon B. Polygon C. Triangle D. Hexagon

olga2289 [7]

The answer is letter B. Every polygon tesselates. Since the word 'tesselate' here means a pattern of shapes put together without any gaps, then I think every polygon tesselates if they are put side by side together in varying amounts and leave absolutely no gaps or spaces between each other.

How do I solve this math problem?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: 4x² + 4x - 2 - $\frac{3}{2x+3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use either synthetic or long division. I am using synthetic division:

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = $-\frac{3}{2}$

$-\frac{3}{2}$ | 4 10 4 -6

| ↓ -6 -6 3

4 4 -2 -3 ← -3 is the remainder

↓ ↓ ↓

4x² +4x -2 ← factored polynomial

Please help me with this problem

eimsori [14]

Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)

Slope = change in Y over change in x:

Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2

Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)

Simplify to get y = 2x-3

Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.

The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3

You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7

The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7

a manufacturer has determined that if his company sells x items per day then their profit is given by P=-x^2+ 700 x-10000 euros.

Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the minimum amount of items, x, that need to be sold for the manufacturer to make a profit, we can use the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}; x= \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$x= \frac{-700+\sqrt{700^{2}-4(a)(-10000) } }{2(1)}; x= \frac{-700-\sqrt{700^{2}-4(a)(-10000) } }{2(1)}$

$x= \frac{-700+\sqrt{530000} }{2}; x= \frac{-700-\sqrt{530000} }{2}$

$x=\frac{-700+100\sqrt{53} }{2}; x=\frac{-700-100\sqrt{53} }{2};$

$x=-350 + 50\sqrt53 = 14.005; x = -350 - 50\sqrt53 = -714.005$

In context of the problem, we can only rely on the positive value, as the negative value would lead to a loss of profit.

$(-714.005)^2+700(-714.005)-10000=-0.360$

Furthermore, we must round to the nearest whole number, as you cannot make part of an item.

Lastly, if you were to plug in 14 into the equation for Profit, you would still have a negative number (i.e. a negative profit), thus requiring the manufacturer to make no less than 15 items to make a profit:

$(14)^2+700(14)-10000=-4\\\\(15)^2+700(15)-10000=725$
