Mrs. Bryant's homeroom students are collecting boxtops. Each student is responsible for collecting 4% of the class's overall goa

l. Kevin has already collected 37.5% of his collection requirements. If the class's goal is to collect 800 boxtops, how much is each student responsible for collecting, and how many boxtops does Kevin currently have?

Answer:

Each student; 32

Kevin; 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4% of 800 is 32. Each student is responsible for colleting 32 box tops.

The next step is to figure out what 37.5% of the 32 is 12.

Hope that this helps! Have a good day and good luck!

Which numbers are 4 units from -2 on the number line

Artemon [7]

Let the number be x

Then the absolute value of the number from -2 should be 4

$|x--2|=4$

$|x+2|=4$

So either

$(x+2)=4$

$x=4-2=2$

Or

$-(x+2)=4$

$x+2=-4$

$x=-4-2$

$x=-6$

[tex] <B>The numbers are 2 and -6</B> [/tex[

They are four units away from -2 on the number line

In triangle RST, angle R is a right angle. If TR = 6 and TS = 8, what is the length of RS

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

RS = 2 $\sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

RS² + RT² = TS² , that is

RS² + 6² = 8²

RS² + 36 = 64 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

RS² = 28 ( take the square root of both sides )

RS = $\sqrt{28}$ = $\sqrt{4(7)}$ = 2 $\sqrt{7}$ ≈ 5.3 ( to 1 dec. place )

For the graphed exponential equation, calculate the average rate of change from x = −3 to x = 0.

iragen [17]

Answer:

$-\frac{7}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are using the average rate of change formula:

$m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

where

$m$ is the average rate of change

$a$ is the first point

$b$ is the second point

$f(a)$ is the function evaluated at the first point

$f(b)$ is the function evaluated at the second point

We want to know the average rate of change of the function $f(x)=0.5^x-6$ form x = -3 to x = 0, so our first point is -3 and our second point is 0. In other words, $a=-3$ and $b=0$ .

Replacing values

$m=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$m=\frac{0.5^0-6-(0.5^{-3}-6)}{0-(-3)}$

$m=\frac{1-6-(8-6)}{3}$

$m=\frac{-5-(2)}{3}$

$m=\frac{-5-2}{3}$

$m=\frac{-7}{3}$

$m=-\frac{7}{3}$

We can conclude that the average rate of change of the exponential equation form x = -3 to x = 0 is $-\frac{7}{3}$
