Maddie is participating in the first round a math competition. She writes one contest a month in each of the first ten months of

the school year. She can earn up to 100 points on each contest. On each of the first five contests she averaged 68 points. On the next three contest she averaged 80 points. In order to advance to the next round of the competition, she must obtain a minimum total of 750 points on the ten contests.
What is the minimum average Maddie requires on the final two contests in order to be able to advance to the next round of competition?

The correct answer is 85 points in each contest

Explanation:

To solve this problem, the first step is to find out how many points Maddie has and then how many points she still needs to get a total of 750 points. Additionally, to do this, the correct process is to multiply the average points by the number of contexts.

In the first five contests, she obtained 68 points average

5 x 68 = 340 points in the first five contests

In the three following contests, she obtained 80 points on average

3 x 80 = 240 points

Now, let's add the points and find how many points she is missing to reach 750 points

340 + 240 = 580

750 - 580 = 170

Finally, let's divide the points missing by 2 because there are still two contests and Madie needs to get the 170 points in these two.

170 ÷ 2 = 85 points

Maddie needs to get 85 points on average to complete her goal of 750 points

kherson [118]

Answer:

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram:

The volume of the box is given by

V = Length \times Width \times Height \\\\

Let x denote the length of the sides of the square as shown in the diagram.

The width of the shaded region is given by

Width = 3 - 2x \\\\

The length of the shaded region is given by

Length = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \\\\

So, the volume of the box becomes,

V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3 - 2x) \times x \\\\V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3x - 2x^2) \\\\V =  \frac{1}{2} (15x -10x^2 -9 x^2 + 6 x^3) \\\\V =  \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x) \\\\

In order to maximize the volume enclosed by the box, take the derivative of volume and set it to zero.

\frac{dV}{dx} = 0 \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} ( \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x)) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\0 = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\18x^2 -38x + 15 = 0 \\\\

We are left with a quadratic equation.

We may solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is given by

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

Where

a = 18 \\\\b = -38 \\\\c = 15 \\\\

x=\frac{-(-38)\pm\sqrt{(-38)^2-4(18)(15)}}{2(18)} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(1444- 1080}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(364}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm 19.078}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38 +  19.078}{36} \: or \: x=\frac{38 - 19.078}{36}\\\\x= 1.59 \: or \: x = 0.53 \\\\

Volume of the box at x= 1.59:

V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(1.59)) \times (3 - 2(1.59)) \times (1.59) \\\\V = -0.03 \: cm^3 \\\\

Volume of the box at x= 0.53:

V =  \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(0.53)) \times (3 - 2(0.53)) \times (0.53) \\\\V = 1.75 \: cm^3

The volume of the box is maximized when x = 0.53 cm

Therefore,

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

Can you help me find each measure?
madam [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the measure for HJ you can already see, start from h and draw a line to J. The measure shows 63 degrees.

2. start at F and draw a line to G first. the measure shows 65 degrees. Now continue the line from where you stopped at G, to H. There's no measure but you can see it is in a semicircle. A semicircle is 180 degrees andthe other two angles are 63 and 65.

So...

180=63+65+GH

subtract to get GH

180-63-65= 52

so the measure GH is 52 degrees. The full measure you are trying to find is FGH thought. So ad the 65 and the 52.

FGH =117 degrees.

3. The meaure is CDE. CD as you can see is a right angles, so 90 degrees. But there is no measure for DE. If you look to the angle vertical from DE which is BA. It measures 40 degrees. DE and BA are vertical so they are congruent. If DE equals 40  and CD equals 90, put them together and you get 130.

CDE= 130 degrees

4. Next measure is BCD. We already know CD is a 90 degree angle but BC is blank. You can see the measure BCD is in a semi circle. A semicircle equals 180, CD equals 90, and BA equals 40

so...

180= 90+40+BC

so subtract

180-90-40= 50

BC =50

so add BC=50 and CD=90. SO, BCD is 140 degrees.

5.The angle LMN is next. MN is 30 but LM is blank. LMN is in a semi circle.

A semicircle is 180 degrees.

so...

180=105+30+LM

subtract

180-105-30=45

LM = 45

Add LM=45 and MN=30

LMN is 75 degrees.

6.The last angle is LNP

If you look at it MP is a semi circle, so 180 degrees. And LM is 45 from our last question. so 180 +45=225

LNP=225

hope this helps

8x-2+9-6x=0
add like terms
2x+7=0
subtract 7 from both sides
2x= -7

4. The price of a sweater is $5 less than the price of the shirt. If four sweaters and
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Form an equation:

let x be the price of a shirt

Then, the price of a sweater would be x - 5

So you would have:

4(x - 5) + 3x = 200

simplify

4x - 20 + 3x = 200

7x - 20 = 200

add 20 to both sides

7x = 220

divide both sides by 7

x = about 31.43

That means the cost of the sweater would be 31.43 - 5 = 26.43
