Paraphin [41]2 years ago

Answer:

60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  a proportion question. You compare two ratios. Unfortunately it is an inverse ratio.

12 = k/100                   Multiply both sides by 100

1200 = k

20 = k/x                       Multiply both sides by x

20x = k

20x = 1200                 Divide by 20

20x/20 = 1200/20

x = 60 days.  

An inverse proportion works by making a constant k. The  constant k makes the days shorter when the number of people increases. You should expect that. More people , less time.

What constant term should be used to complete the square? x 2 - 5x + _____ = 7
amm1812
The quadratic equation in its generic form is:
 ax2 + bx + c
 To complete squares we must add the following term:
 (b / 2) ^ 2
 The equation is:
 ax2 + bx + c + (b / 2) ^ 2
 We have the following equation:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + k = 7
 By completing squares we have:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + (-5/2) ^ 2 = 7 + (-5/2) ^ 2
 Rewriting:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 6.25 = 7 + 6.25
 Answer:
 
A constant term should be used to complete the square is:
 
6.25

find the area of each sector. Use the 3.14 as the value of pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.​ Part 4
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1) 378.1 in²

2) 8.4 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of sector= \frac{θ°}{360°}  \times \pi {r}^{2}

1) Area of sector

=  \frac{150°}{360°} \times 3.14 \times  {17}^{2}  \\  = 378.1 \: in^{2}  \\ (nearest \: tenth)

2) Area of sector

\frac{60°}{360°}  \times 3.14 \times  {4}^{2}  \\  = 8.4 \: m^{2}  \\ (nearest \: tenth)
