the lions won 16 games last year. this year the lions won 20 games. what is the percent increase in number of games the lions won from last year to this year?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: last year won the lions 16 games last year and into this year the Lions won 20 games.

as the percentage increase is:

20/16

(20/4) / (16/4)

5/4

1.25 (125%)
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: the percent increase is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

lets 16 games are 100% - in last year

 so 20 games are x%

make proportion and find x=20*100/16=125% - in this year

125-100%=25%

Answer: the percent increase is 25%

Write an equation of the line that passes through (−4, −9) and is parallel to the line y=4x .

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel = same slope

y = 4x + b

plug in (-4, -9)

-9 = 4(-4) + b

-9 = -16 + b

b = 7

y = 4x + 7

Answer:

7=4x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you would just plug in (-4,-9) into the equation y=mx+b so we would get -9=4(-4)+b when you simplify you will get -9=-16+b so we would add 16 to both sides and we would get 7=b so we would know that the y intercept is 7 and we know that if a line is parallel to another line is just has a different b so for our equation we would get 7=4x+7

Your teacher divides the class into two groups of the same size by picking names at random from the class, and you will be in group 1? A. impossible B. unlikely C. as likely as not D. Likely E. certain

Answers

Answer:

C. as likely as not

Step-by-step explanation:

The teacher makes two groups with the same number and divides the student at random. The two groups have equal size, so the chance for someone to get picked into group 1 is 100%/2= 50%. The chance for someone to get picked into group 2 will be also 100%/2= 50%

The chance to get picked to be in group 1(50%) is the same as the chance to NOT get picked into group 1(50%). The word to explain this chance will be "as likely as not".

Determine the smallest integer value of a for which f(x) has imaginary zeroes. Show how you foundthis answer. ​

Answers

1 is the smallest possible integer.

Given that: f(x)=ax^2-2x+5.

The discreminant of this equation is:

b^2-4ac=(-2)^2-4a(5)=4-20a

For imaginary zeros, we must get discreminant less than 0.

So,

4-20a<0\n20a>4\na>(4)/(20)\na>0.2

Next integer of 0.2 is 1.

So 1 is the smallest possible integer.

Determine the smallest integer value of a for which f(x) = ax² - 2x + 5 has imaginary zeroes. Show how you found  this answer

Answer:

The smallest integer value of a is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeroes of a function equate it by 0, then find the values of x which are the zeroes of the function

To find the types of the roots (zeroes) of a function f(x) = ax² + bx + c use the discriminant of the function b² - 4ac

  • If b² - 4ac > 0, then the function has two different real roots
  • If b² - 4ac = 0, then the function has one real root
  • If b² - 4ac < 0, then the function has no real roots (imaginary roots)

∵ f(x) = ax² - 2x = 5

- To find its zeroes equate f(x) by 0

ax² - 2x + 5 = 0

∵ f(x) has imaginary zeroes

- That means the discriminant is less then zero

b² - 4ac < 0

∵ a = a, b = -2 and c = 5

- Substitute them in the inequality above

∴ (-2)² - 4(a)(5) < 0

4 - 20 a < 0

- Add 20 a to both sides

∴ 4 < 20 a

- Divide both sides by 20

∴ 0.2 < a

- That means a is greater than 0.2

a > 0.2

∵ You must to find the smallest integer value of a

- The first integer greater than 0.2 is 1

a = 1

The smallest integer value of a is 1

Ralph chase graduated from college with a dept of $20000. He had taken out two different kinds of loans : a government loan at 3.3% APR ( annual percentage rate, or interest after one year) and a private loan at 4.9% APR . If his total interest after one year was $804 , how much money did he borrow from each source ?

Answers

Answer:

Ralph borrowed $11,000 from the government source and $9,000 from the private source.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x = government loan

y = private loan

x + y = 20,000 ............................................ (1)

x = 20,000 - y ............................................. (2)

0.033x + 0.049y = 804 ............................ (3)

Substitute equation (2) into (3) for x, we have:

0.033(20,000 - y) + 0.049y = 804

660 - 0.033y + 0.049y = 804

0.016y = 804 - 660

0.016y = 144

y = 144 / 0.016 = $9,000

Substitute $9,000 for y in equation (2), we have:

x = 20,000 - 9,000 = $11,000

Therefore, Ralph borrowed $11,000 from the government source and $9,000 from the private source.
