The number of basketball games that must be scheduled in a league with n teams is given by G(n) = (n2 - n)/2 where each team plays every other team exactly once. A league schedules 21 games. How many teams are in the league?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 7 teams in the league

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of games is given by:

[tex]G(n) = \frac{(n^2-n)}{2}[/tex]

The equation will be used to determine the number of games. As we already know, that 21 games are scheduled which means G(n) is 21 so we have to find n when G(n) is 21

Putting this mathematically

[tex]21 = \frac{n^2-n}{2}[/tex]

Multiplying equation by 2

[tex]2*21 = 2*\frac{n^2-n}{2}\\42 = n^2-n\\n^2-n-42 = 0\\n^2-7n+6n-42 = 0\\n(n-7)+6(n-7) = 0\\(n-7)(n+6)=0\\n-7 = 0 => n=7\\n+6=0 => n=-6[/tex]

As the number of teams cannot be negative, the number of teams in league are 7.

Hence,

There are 7 teams in the league

Answer: 58°.

Step-by-step explanation: From what is given, we see that the other three angles are 122°, 90°, and 90°. Since we know that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral adds up to 360°, we just add up 122, 90, and 90 and subtract the sum from 360°. 122 + 90 + 90 = 302. 360 - 302 = 58. Thus, the answer is 58°.

The teachers need to buy eggs and plastic spoons for the egg race event. The teachers want to have 1 egg for every spoon. The eggs are sold in packs of 6 , and the spoons are sold in packs of 10 . If the teachers want to buy exactly 30 spoons and have no leftovers, they need to buy

Answers

Answer:

5 packs of eggs

3 packs of spoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Eggs are sold in packs of 6

Spoons are sold in packs of 10

The teachers want to have 1 egg for every spoon

Find the Lowest common multiple of 6 and 10

6 = 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60

10 = 20, 30, 40, 50, 60

The lowest common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30

If the teachers want to buy exactly 30 spoons and have no leftovers

Eggs are sold in packs of 6

Number of packs needed = 30 /6

= 5 packs

Spoons are sold in packs of 10

Number of packs needed = 30/10

= 3 packs

The teacher will buy 5 packs of eggs and 3 packs of spoons to have exactly 30 spoons and have no leftovers

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the triangular prism is the sum of its base areas and the lateral area. The total area of the two triangular bases is ...

  A = bh = 7(6.1) = 42.7 . . . square units

The lateral area is the product of the perimeter of the base and the length of the prism. The height given for the prism is consistent with it having triangular bases that are equilateral triangles. That is, the unmarked dimension is likely 7 units, so the perimeter is ...

  P = 7+7+7 = 21

and the lateral surface area is ...

  LA = PL = 21·2 = 42

Then the total surface area of the prism is ...

   total area = A + LA = 42.7 +42 = 84.7 . . . square units

__

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by ...

  V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height. Your prism has a volume of ...

A local school sold 230 tickets for their performance of Hamlet. They sold a combination of regular tickets and student tickets. The regular tickets sold for $8 each and the student tickets sold for $5. That night they collected $1522 in ticket sales. Write an equation that describes each piece of information. Let "R" represent the number of regular tickets and "S" represent the number of Student tickets. (Hint: Create a system of equations.)

Answers

Answer:

R+S=230-------------1

8R+5S=1522--------2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let regular be R

and Students be S

total tickets =230

cost of regular = $8 each

cost of students tickets = $5 each

total cost of the both tickets = $1522

Required

The systems of equations

1. for the total number of tickets

R+S=230-------------1

2. For the total cost

8R+5S=1522--------2

Hence the systems of equation for the situation is

R+S=230-------------1

8R+5S=1522--------2

Answer:

c≤  24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

"0.3" was replaced by "(3/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s). Simplify 3/10

    61     3      

 (—— -  ——) -  (c + 1)  ≥ 0    then simplify 61/10

  10    10    

3.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

    61 - (3)                   29

————————  =  ——

     10                          5

29    

 —— -  (c + 1)  ≥ 0  

 5    

4.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

            c + 1     (c + 1) • 5

   c + 1 =  —————  =  ———————————

              1            5      

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

                         c + 1     (c + 1) • 5

   c + 1 =  —————  =  ———————————

                             1            5    

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

                              29 - ((c+1) • 5)     24 - 5c

————————————————  =  ———————

                                          5                5

    24 - 5c

 ———————  ≥ 0  

      5    

 

Multiply both sides by  5  

5.2    Multiply both sides by (-1)

Flip the inequality sign since you are multiplying by a negative number

     5c-24  ≤ 0

5.3    Divide both sides by  5  

     c-(24/5)  ≤ 0

5.4      Add  24/5  to both sides

            c ≤ 24/5

Answer:

The ladder will go approximately 35.71 ft up the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 50 ft ladder is leaning against a building and the base of the ladder is 35 feet from the base of the building.

It means the ladder will form a right triangle with the building with the following dimensions:

base  =  35  f t hypotenuse  =  50  f t height = ?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the height,

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Here,

a is the heightb is the basec is the hypotenuse

Substitute the given values into the equation to determine the height:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2+\left(35\right)^2=\left(50\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]a^2+1225=2500[/tex]

[tex]a^2=1275[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}[/tex]

[tex]a=\sqrt{1275},\:a=-\sqrt{1275}[/tex]

[tex]a\:=\:35.71,\:\:\:a\:=\:-35.71[/tex]

We know that height can not be negative. Thus,

[tex]a=35.71[/tex] ft

Therefore, the ladder will go approximately 35.71 ft up the building.

A computer store buys a computer system at cost of 572.40 cents the selling price was first at 9:54 but then the store was advised at 20% markdown on the system answer parts a and b

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Find the current sale price. Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

B) Members of the stores loyalty club can and additional 10% off their computer purchases. How much do club members pay for the computer with their discount.

A. Current sales price will be:

= $954 - (20% × $954)

= $954 - (0.2 × $954)

= $954 - $190.80

= $763.20

B. Club members will pay:

= $763.20 - (10% × $763.20)

= $763.20 - (0.1 × $763.20)

= $763.20 - $76.32

= $686.88
