Answer:          410 possible points

To solve for the possible points in the course, use a proportion and cross multiply.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is two fractions that are equal to each other. For the fractions to be equal, they are proportionate. In our math problem, percentage is proportionate the the number of points.

The fractions represent information you have, and one variable will represent what you are solving for.

Given

Your points = 361

Points to get an 'A' = your points + 8

'A' = 90% of possible points

Find the points needed for an 'A' at 90%

Points to get an 'A' = your points + 8

= 361 + 8

= 369

State variables

let x be the amount of possible points

Write a proportion

We know the number of points for 90% is 369 points. Remember that 90% is the same as 90/100.

Keep the information with the same units inside the same fraction. Here, percentage is represented by the first fraction. Points is represented by the second fraction.

[tex]\displaystyle{\frac{90}{100}=\frac{369}{x}}[/tex]

Solve

We can solve using cross multiplication. This is when we multiply each numerator by the denominator from the other fraction.

[tex]90x = 369*100[/tex]        Simplify by multiplying.

[tex]90x = 36,900[/tex]            Isolate the variable x.

[tex]\displaystyle{\frac{90x}{90} = \frac{36,900}{90}}[/tex]           Divide both sides by 90 to cancel out 90 on the left.

[tex]\displaystyle{x = \frac{36,900}{90}}[/tex]              Divide.

[tex]x = 410[/tex]                    Solved for x, representing the possible points.

Elise and her mom are volunteering at an emergency relief center. To help prepare in case of a flood, they pack emergency kits with food and water. Elise puts 4 water bottles into each kit they pack. In all, she packs 120 water bottles. Which equation can you use to find the number of emergency kits K Elise packs?

Answers

4K = 120 can be used to find the number of emergency kits K Elise packs. The total number of emergency kits packed by Elsie and her mom are 30.

Here, we are given that Elise puts 4 water bottles into each emergency kit.

Let the number of kits packed = K

Then the total number of bottles packed = 4 × K

= 4K

Also, we are given that Elsie packs a total of 120 bottles.

Thus, we get the following linear equation-

4K = 120

We can use this equation to find the number of emergency kits K Elise packs.

dividing by 4 on both sides, we get

4K/4 = 120/4

K = 30

Hence, the total number of emergency kits packed by Elsie and her mom are 30.

Two ships A and B take off at the same time from the same spot at a harbour. Ship A travels west with a speed of 40 km/h, while ship B travels north at a speed of 50 km/h. Determine, to the nearest integer, how fast the distance between the ships is increasing when they are 0.5 hours away from the harbour. Use the units as given in the question but write down only the numerical value of your answer without the unit.

Answers

Using the Pythagorean Theorem and implicit differentiation, it is found that the distance between them is increasing at a rate of 2050 km/h when they are 0.5 hours away from the harbor.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs [tex]l_1[/tex] and [tex]l_2[/tex] of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

[tex]h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2[/tex]

For this problem, we have that since the ships are moving west and north, the distance between them as a function of the time will be given by the hypotenuse of a right triangle, as follows:

d² = x² + y².

In which;

x is the position of Ship A(moving horizontally).y is the position of Ship B(moving vertically).

Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change of the position is given as follows:

[tex]2\frac{dd}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dd}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

From the velocities, we have that:

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 40, \frac{dy}{dt} = 50[/tex]

From the velocities, and the time of half an hour, the positions are given as follows:

x = 0.5 x 40 = 20, y = 0.5 x 50 = 25.

Hence:

[tex]\frac{dd}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dd}{dt} = 20(40) + 25(50)[/tex]

dd/dt = 2050.

The correct value of m = 6 and b = -9.

The function f(x) is differentiable at x = 3 and we know that if a function is differentiable at some point means that it is continuous at that point also.

Here function is continuous at x = 3 piecewise

m(3) + b = (3)²

3m + b = 9 .....(1)

and function is differentiable at ( x = 3 ) piecewise

d/dx ( m * x + b ) = d/dx (x)² at ( x= 3 )

( m + 0 ) = 2x  at ( x = 3 )

m = 2 * 3

m = 6

By placing the value of m in equation (1)

3m + b = 9

Answers

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to simplify numerator and denominator through factoring. The you should get an expression involving only a + b which is given as -2

Take numerator
[tex]a^2-b^2-12b-36[/tex]

Factor
[tex]-b^2-12b-36[/tex]

[tex]= - (b^2 + 12b + 36)\\\\= -(b+6)^2[/tex]

So numerator becomes
[tex]a^2-\left(b+6\right)^2[/tex]

Apply difference of squares formula: [tex]\displaystyle x^2-y^2=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-y\right)[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{with\;} x^2 == > a^2, and y^2 == > (b + 6)^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies a^2-\left(b+6\right)^2 \\== \left(a+\left(b+6\right)\right)\left(a-b-6\right)[/tex]

Denominator
[tex]a^2-6a-b^2-6b[/tex]

can be factored as follows

[tex]a^2-b^2 = (a + b) (a -b)[/tex]
[tex]-6a-6b = -6\left(a+b\right)[/tex]

So denominator becomes
[tex]\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right)+-6\left(a+b\right)[/tex]

Factor out common term (a+b) to get
[tex]\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b-6\right)[/tex]

So the original expression with Numerator and denominator

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{\left(a+b+6\right)\left(a-b-6\right)}{\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b-6\right)}[/tex]
Cancel the common factor (a-b-6) to get
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a+b+6}{a+b}[/tex]

Since a + b = -2, plug in this value of (a+b) in both numerator and denominator to get

Kathi and Robert Hawn had a pottery stand at the annual Skippack Craft Fair. They sold some of their pottery at the original price of $13.50 ​each, but later decreased the price of each by ​$4.00. If they sold all 91 pieces and took in $972.50​, find how many they sold at the original price and how many they sold at the reduced price.

Answers

The number sold at the original price is 27 and they sold 64 at the reduced price.

How to calculate the value?

Let x = number of pieces sold at 13.50

Let y = number of pieces sold at 9.50

The equation will be:

x + y = 91. ..... i

13.50x + 9.50y = 972.50 ..... ii

From equation i x = 91 - y

13.50x + 9.50y = 972.50

13.50(91 - y) + 9.50y = 972.50

1228.50 - 13.50y + 9.50y = 972.50

1228.50 - 4y = 972.50

4y = 1228.50 - 972.50

4y = 256

y = 256/4

y = 64

Since x + y = 91

x = 91 - 64 = 27

Therefore, the number sold at the original price is 27 and they sold 64 at the reduced price.

Answers

The mass, in grams, of 1 cubic centimeter of the sand in scientific notation is 7 x 10^(-1).

What is scientific notation?

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers.

Now it is given that,

Average mass of grain = 7 x 10-4 gram

Number of grains in 1 cubic centimeter = 1,000 grains =  10^3 grains

Thus,

Mass of 1 cubic centimeter of the sand = Average mass of grain * Number of grains in 1 cubic centimeter

⇒ Mass of 1 cubic centimeter of the sand =  7 x 10-4 * 10^3 grams

⇒ Mass of 1 cubic centimeter of the sand =  7 x 10^(-4+ 3) grams

⇒ Mass of 1 cubic centimeter of the sand =  7 x 10^(-1) grams

Thus, the mass, in grams, of 1 cubic centimeter of the sand in scientific notation is 7 x 10^(-1).

Prokaryotic cells We dump 8.8 million tons of plastic into oceans By: Seth Borenstein, Associated Press December 16, 2021 Each year about 8.8 million tons of plastic ends up in the world oceans. The quantity is much higher than previous estimates, according to a new study. It tracked marine debris from its source. That's the equivalent of five grocery bags full of plastic debris dotting each foot of coastline around the world. So says the study's lead author, Jenna Jambeck. She is an environment engineering professor at the University of Georgia. At the current rate, Jambeck projects that by 2025, the total accumulated plastic trash in the oceans will reach around 170 million tons. That's based on population trends and continued waste management disposal problems. But there may be some early signs of change, she said. More than half of the plastic waste that flows into the oceans comes from just five countries. They are China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The U.S. is ranked No. 20. Europe and the U.S. are not mismanaging their collected waste. The plastic trash coming from those countries is due to litter, researchers said. China is responsible for 2.4 million tons of plastic that makes its way into the ocean. That's nearly 28 percent of the world total. The U.S. contributes 77,000 tons. That is less than 1 percent, according to the study published in the journal Science. This is mostly because developed countries have systems to trap and collect plastic waste, Jambeck said. "We need to wake up and see our waste," Jambeck said. "I think the problem in some ways has sort of snuck up around us." The amount of plastics estimated to be going into the water is equal to how much tuna is fished per year. So "we are taking out tuna and putting in plastic, said study co-author, Kara Lavendar Law. Nancy Wallace is head of the marine debris program for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She said plastic waste in the water is eaten by sea life. It also collects ocean toxins. And, there's a clean-up cost and it affects tourism. Jambeck used World Bank statistics on 192 countries' waste streams to track and estimate plastic pollution from the source. She examined how much waste is generated and the percentage that reaches the oceans. Jambeck's estimates were for 2010 and ranged between 5 and 14 million tons of plastic. The middle scenario estimate is 8.8 million tons. Previous estimates were less than 1 million tons, based on samples. Scientists know that much can be hidden in the bottom of the ocean and in places researchers don't get to. Last year Andrs Czar of the University of Cadiz in Spain estimated the waste at about 35,000 tons. Cozar said his team acknowledged that "99 percent of the ocean's plastic is missing." 1. a.
