$\sqrt{450}=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 5^2\cdot 2}=15\sqrt{2}$

first choice is correct

15√2

area = s² = 450 ← s is length of side

to find s take the square root of both sides

s = $\sqrt{450}$ = $\sqrt{2(9)(25)}$

= √2 × √9 × √25 = √2 × 3 × 5 = 15√2

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number

stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

$a^2 - 3a = 28$

$a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0$

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0$

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28$

$\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}$

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4

In college basketball, some teams get most of their points from just one player, and other teams are more balanced in scoring. C

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

(D)The mean number of points per player per game is the same at all 3 schools.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baylor University

6 players who each score 12 points per game

6 players who each score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,12,12,12,12,12,12

$Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+12+12+12+12+12+12}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{12+0}{2}=6$

University of Maryland

1 player scores 58 points per game,

1 player scores 14 points per game,

The rest(10) of the players score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,14,58

$Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+14+58}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{0+0}{2}=0$

Dartmouth College

4 players score 5 points per game,

4 players score 6 points per game,

4 players score 7 points per game.

The Scores are: 5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7

$Mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+7+7+7+7}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{6+6}{2}=6$

The following applies:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

(D)The mean number of points per player per game is the same at all 3 schools.

5% = .05
2600 x .05 = 130
130 x 2 = 260
2600 - 260 = 2340

The population will be 2340 people.

Which costs less to buy, a $1000 computer that is discounted 20% and then offered at an additional 10% off, or a $1000 computer

katen-ka-za [31]

A computer discounted at 30% off is less expensive.

First: 1000*.8 = 800
800*.9 = $720

Second: 1000*.7 = $700
