Answer:

The proportion of people who were caught after being on the 1010 Most Wanted list would be 40.81%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their 1010 Most Wanted list, and to do so, they need to find out the fraction of people who appear on the list that are actually caught, supposing a sample of 517517 suspected criminals is drawn, and of these people, 211211 were captured, to estimate the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 1010 Most Wanted list using this data, the following calculation must be performed:

517,517 = 100

211,211 = X

211,211 x 100 / 517,517 = X

21,121,100 / 517,517 = X

40.81 = X

Therefore, the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 1010 Most Wanted list would be 40.81%.

-3 on a number line​
babymother [125]

-3 on a number line would look like 3 right from 0.

Let's just say we have a number line. A number line is a line that represents numbers. I'll say the positive side is on the top/left and the negative side (-3) on the bottom/right. -3 is a negative number. There is the sign (-) before 3. That indicates it's a negative number. Since it's a negative and 3, we move 3 down or right.

Divide. Write in simplest form. 10 divided by 1 2/3 ?
adell [148]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite 10 as 10/1 and 1 and 2/3 as 5/3.

Mixed numbers can be changed to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. We then put out numerator over our old denominator.

So we have 10/1 ÷ 5/3 or 10/1 × 3/5.

It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

Now multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators, we have 30/5. Notice however that 30/5 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 30 and 5 which is 6 and we end up with 6.

Therefore, 10 ÷ 1 and 2/3 = 6.

What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-8)(x-2)?
7nadin3 [17]
Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)

another way to do it: 
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-\frac{b}{2a}, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9
