Answer:

36.19047619 million

or 36,190,476 students

Step-by-step explanation:

7.6 million / all students = 21% / 100%

7.6 * 100 / 21 = 36.19047619

36.19047619 million

or 36,190,476 students

Is the following statement a good definition? Why? An integer is divisible by 100 if and only if its last two digits are zeros.

kifflom [539]

The given statement is:
An integer is divisible by 100 if and only if its last two digits are zeros

The two conditional statements that can be made are:

1) If an integer is divisible by 100 its last two digits are zeros.

This is a true statement. If a number is divisible by 100, it means 100 must be a factor of that number. When 100 will be multiplied by the remaining factors, the number will have last two digits zeros.

2) If the last two digits of an integer are zeros, it is divisible by 100.

This is also true. If last two digits are zeros, this means 100 is a factor of the integer. So the number will be divisible by 100.

Therefore, the two conditional statements that are formed are both true.

So, the option A is the correct answer.
Yes, it is. When the definition is separated into two conditional statements, both of the statements are true

Answer:

A total of 15 cups of punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% ( or 0.20) of the punch is pineapple juice so if you have 3 cups of this juice, by proportion, you can make 3 / 0.20 = 15 cups

A basketball player shoots a basketball that reaches a height above 15 feet before landing back on the ground exactly after 7 se

Papessa [141]

Answer:

I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height of the basketball reaches above 15 feet, hence the maximum of the function should be greater than 15 feet. Also at 7 seconds, the ball is on the ground, hence f(7) = 0 feet

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a

i) f(x) = -(x-3)² + 16 = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 16 = -x² + 6x + 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3-3)² + 16 = 16 > 15

Also f(7) = - (7 - 3)² + 16 = 0

Hence this option is correct

ii) f(x) = -x² + 8x - 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -8 / 2(-1) = 4

f(4) = -4² + 8(4) - 7 = 9 < 15 not correct

Also f(7) = - 7² + 8(7) - 7 = 0

Hence this option is not correct since the maximum f(4) = 9 < 15

iii) f(x) = -(x-3)² + 14 = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 14 = -x² + 6x + 5

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3-3)² + 14 = 14 < 15

Also f(7) = - (7 - 3)² + 14 = -2

Hence this option is not correct since the maximum f(4) = 9 < 15 and f(7) ≠ 0

iv)f(x) = -x² + 6x + 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3)² + 6(3) + 7 = 16 > 15

Also f(7) = - (7)² + 6(7) + 7 = 0

Hence this option is correct
