Answer:

We must order these decimals from least to greatest. Then we must determine how the least compares with the winning score.

9.80 -> 3

9.75 -> 1

9.79 -> 2

9.81 -> 4

The least decimal is 9.75. Now we must determine how 9.75 compare with the winning score.

The last swimmer must get a score less than 9.75 seconds in order to win.

A parabola is represented by the equation y2 = 5x. which equation represents the directrix?
ivann1987 [24]

The value of the directrix is -5/4.

According to the statement

we have given that the equation of parabola is y2 = 5x. And we have to find that the which equation represents the directrix.

We know that the general equation of parabola is

(y - k)2 = 4a(x - h)  -(1)

and given parabola equation is

y2 = 5x.  -(2)

After comparing the both equations we get k=0 and h=0

And the formula to find the directrix is

x = h - a

Substitute the values of h and a in it then

x = 0-5/4

x = -5/4.

Here the directrix is -5/4.

So, The value of the directrix is -5/4.

6 labour complete a work in 12 days. How many labours should added to complete the works in 8 days?​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

9 labours

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we must know which kind of proportionality is this. There are two types of proportions, direct and indirect/inverse proportions. In direct proportion, if one quantity increases, the other quantity also increases.

In indirect proportion, if one quantity increases, the other decreases and vice versa.

As per this question, we know if the number of labour increases, the number of days to complete a work decreases, thus proving that this is an indirect/inverse proportion.

6 labours => 12 days

x labours =>  8 days

Since its an inverse proprotion, multiply 6 with 12, and x with 8.

8x = 6 × 12

x = \frac{6*12}{8}

∴ x = <u>9 labours</u>

2(6 − 2x) + 3x = 4 + 2(5 + x) what is x
alexira [117]
First let's get rid of the parenthesis:

12 - 4x + 3x = 4 + 10 + 2x

Now group the x's on the left and the numbers on the right

-4x + 3x - 2x = 4 + 10 - 12

...and simplify

-3x = 2

divide by -3 to isolate x

x = -2/3
