Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

85%=.85

So 45 × .85 = 38.25

38 shots he made.

Hope this helps

<h3>Answer: 38</h3>

Work Shown:

85% = 85/100 = 0.85

85% of 45 = 0.85*45 = 38.25

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get the result 38

As a check, 38/45 = 0.8444 approximately which converts to 84.44% and that's fairly close to 85%. If we tried 39, then 39/45 = 0.8667 = 86.67% which is a bit too high.

If a die is rolled one time, find probability of getting a number greater than 3 and an odd number.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a die is rolled one time. So,

Sample space : $S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

Number is greater than 3 : $A=\{4,5,6\}$

Number is odd : $A=\{1,3,5\}$

Number greater than 3 and an odd number : $A\cap B=\{5\}$

It is conclude that,

$n(S)=6, n(A)=3,n(B)=3,n(A\cap B)=1$

The probability of getting a number greater than 3 and an odd number is

$P=\dfrac{n(A\cap B)}{n(S)}$

$P=\dfrac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the required probability is $\dfrac{1}{6}$ .

Write the cubic polynomial function f(x)in expanded form with zeros −6,−5,and −1, given that f(0)=60

RSB [31]

Answer:

$f(x)=2x^{3}+24x^{2}+82x+60$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The roots of the polynomial are the values of x when the value of the polynomial f(x) is equal to zero

The roots of the polynomial function are

x=-6 -----> (x+6)=0

x=-5 -----> (x+5)=0

x=-1 -----> (x+1)=0

The equation of the cubic polynomial is

$f(x)=a(x+6)(x+5)(x+1)$

where

a is the leading coefficient

Remember that

f(0)=60

That means ------> For x=0 the value of f(x) is equal to 60

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the function and solve for a

$60=a(0+6)(0+5)(0+1)$

$60=a(6)(5)(1)$

$60=30a$

$a=2$

$f(x)=2(x+6)(x+5)(x+1)$

Applying the distributive property

Convert to expanded form

$f(x)=2(x+6)(x+5)(x+1)\\\\f(x)=2(x+6)(x^{2}+x+5x+5)\\\\f(x)=2(x+6)(x^{2}+6x+5)\\\\f(x)=2(x^{3}+6x^{2}+5x+6x^{2}+36x+30)\\\\f(x)=2x^{3}+24x^{2}+82x+60$
