Answer:

3 ring

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of jewelry = 10

number of necklace = 1÷2 * 10 = 5

number of bracelets = 2÷5 * 5 = 2

Total of both = 5+ 2= 7

remainder = Total jewelry - sum of necklace and bracelet

remainder = 10 - 7

= 3

therefore there are three rings in the jewelry box

Answer:

3 rings

Step-by-step explanation:

10 / 2 = 5 necklaces

(5/5) x 2 = 2 bracelets

10 - 5 - 2 = 3<u> rings</u>

The equation 2(5+7) = (2•5) + (2•7) illustrates what property?
wel

In this question, you're trying to figure out what property is being represented.

Your answer would be the Distributive Property

This is your answer because as you can see, you are "distributing" the 2 to the variables inside the parenthesis.

When you distribute the number, you would be multiplying, in which in this case there is multiplication.

Therefore, Distributive property would be the correct answer.

Find the x- and y- intercepts of parabola y=5x^2-16x+10
____ [38]

Y-INTERCEPT

y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10

The y-intercept is where the equation/curve/parabola cosses the y-axis.

The y-axis is where x = 0. (The x-axis is where y = 0)

To find the y-intercept:

\text{y-axis} \rightarrow \text{x = 0} \rightarrow y = 5(0)^2 -16(0) + 10 = 10

The y-intercept must be at (0, 10)

X-INTERCEPT (ROOTS/SOLUTIONS)

y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10\\\text{make it equal 0}\\y = 0\\\therefore 5x^2 - 16x + 10 = 0

We need to use the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula helps us find what values of x make the equation = 0

Quadratic formula: x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-(-16) + \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{256-200}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{56}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + 2\sqrt{14}}{10}\\x = \frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\\\\\\x=\frac{-(-16) - \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\text{doing the same thing...}\\\text{end up with...}\\x = \frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}\\

The x-intercepts are at:

(\frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)\\(\frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)
