In a test, +3 marks are given for every correct answer and -1 mark are given for every incorrect answer. Sona attempted all the questions and scored +20 marks, though she got 10 correct answers. How many incorrect answers has she attempted? (ii) How many questions were given in the test?

Answers

Answer 1


x = number of questions

3y = points for a correct answer
-1x or -x = points for an incorrect answer

Adding up the correct and incorrect points/answers gives us the final score. We can solve to see how many questions were incorrect. (We are told 10 were correct)

3y + (-1x) = 20
3(10) + (-1x) = 20
30 - x = 20
10 = x
x = 10

So she got 10 correct and 10 incorrect, and there were 20 questions in all.

The negative symbol applies to the result of the fraction division. It is equivalent to the multiplication of the fraction by -1. If you want, you can consider the negative in either the numerator or the denominator but not in both.

Answers

Answer:

cot(x)=-sqrt(3)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use the Pythagorean Identity sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1 to find the sine value since cotangent value is the cosine value over sine value.

Plug in:

sin^2(x)+(-1/2)^2=1

Simplify:

sin^2(x)+1/4=1

Subtract 1/4 on both sidea:

sin^2(x)=3/4

Square root both sides:

sin(x)=sqrt(3)/2. [Sine is positive since x is in 2nd quadrant]

cot(x)=(-1/2)/(sqrt(3)/2))

cot(x)=-1/sqrt(3)

Rationalize denominator by multiplying by sqrt(3)/sqrt(3):

cot(x)=-sqrt(3)/3

cot(x)=

Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

9+2+5=16

9+2=11

11/16

Answer:

You use ratios to determine, so to find blue crayons it will be 16/2 chance of finding a blue crayon since there are 16 crayons and 2 blue crayons, and simplified it will be 8/1, you can find out the red crayon also by doing the same thing, since you are trying to get a red or blue crayon it will be 11/16 chance of finding a blue or red crayon.

if -1 is a zero of polynomial ax^²-x²+x+4, find the value of a

Answers

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

-1 is a zero of the polynomial. i.e. x = -1.

The polynomial is :

p(x) = ax²-x²+x+4

We need to find the value of a.

Put x = -1 in the above polynomial.

p(1) = a(-1)²-(-1)²+(-1)+4

For zeroes,

p(1) = 0

a(-1)²-(-1)²+(-1)+4 = 0

a-1-1+4 = 0

a = -2

So, the value of a is equal to -2.

In a data distribution, the first quartile, the median and the means are 30.8, 48.5 and 42.0

respectively. If the coefficient skewness is , use the information to answer

questions 9 and 10.

9. What is the approximate value of the third quartile

(Q3 ), correct to 2 decimal places?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Q_3 = 56.45[/tex] --- The third quartile

[tex]Var = 370.18[/tex] -- Variance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Q_1 = 30.8[/tex] -- First quartile

[tex]Q_2 = 48.5[/tex] --- Median

[tex]\bar x = 42[/tex] --- Mean

[tex]Skp = -0.38[/tex] --- Coefficient of skewness

Solving (9): The third quartile [tex]Q_3[/tex]

This is calculated from

[tex]Skp = \frac{Q_1 + Q_3 - 2Q_2}{Q_3 - Q_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]-0.38 = \frac{30.8 + Q_3- 2*48.5}{Q_3 - 30.8}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]-0.38 (Q_3 - 30.8)= 30.8 + Q_3- 2*48.5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]-0.38Q_3 + 11.704= 30.8 + Q_3- 97.0[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]-0.38Q_3 -Q_3= 30.8 - 97.0- 11.704[/tex]

[tex]-1.38Q_3= -77.904[/tex]

Divide both sides -1.38

[tex]Q_3 = \frac{-77.904}{-1.38}[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 56.45[/tex] --- approximated

Solving (b): The variance

First, calculate the standard deviation from:

[tex]3IQR = 4SD[/tex]

[tex]IQR= Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

So:

[tex]3IQR = 4SD[/tex]

[tex]3(Q_3 - Q_1) = 4SD[/tex]

Make SD the subject

[tex]SD = \frac{3}{4}(Q_3 - Q_1)[/tex]

[tex]SD = \frac{3}{4}(56.45 - 30.8)[/tex]

[tex]SD = \frac{3}{4}*25.65[/tex]

[tex]SD = \frac{3*25.65}{4}[/tex]

[tex]SD = \frac{76.95}{4}[/tex]

[tex]SD = 19.24[/tex]

So, the variance is:

[tex]Var = SD^2[/tex]

[tex]Var = 19.24^2[/tex]

[tex]Var = 370.18[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

b = 6 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3^2 + b^2 = 9^2

9+b^2 = 81

b^2 = 81-9

b^2 = 72

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(72)

b = sqrt(36*2)

b = 6 sqrt(2)

On a map of North Carolina, the distance between Raleigh and Charlotte is 3 1/4 inches. The scale on the map is 1 inch = 40 miles. What is the actual distance?

Answers

Answer:

130 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Actual distance = 31/4 x 40

convert 31/4 to an improper fraction

to convert to improper fraction, take the following steps :  

1. Multiply the whole number  by the denominator

2. Add the numerator to the answer gotten in the previous step

3. divide the number gotten in the previous step by the denominator  

13/4 x 40 = 130 miles
