Candidate A and Candidate B are running for mayor. A poll was taken to determine which candidate would likely win the election. The poll is accurate within ±5%. Write an absolute value equation to find the maximum and minimum percentage of voters who will vote for Candidate A if 38% of the voters in the poll voted for Candidate A. Let A represent the percent of voters who will vote for Candidate A.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]|A-38|=5[/tex]

33% or 43%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that poll is accurate within [tex]\pm5[/tex].

38% voters have voted for candidate A.

[tex]A[/tex] is the percent of voters who will vote for candidate A.

So, value of A can be 38+5=43%

OR

38-5 = 33%

We will write an absolute function for the above situation.

But, first of all, let us have a look at the definition of Absolute value function.

[tex]|y|=\left \{ {-{y}\ if\ y<0 \atop {y}\ if\ y>0} \right.[/tex]

The the value of function gives us a negative sign when the value inside the modulus function is negative.

[tex]A-38[/tex] will be negative when [tex]A < 38[/tex] and

[tex]A-38[/tex] will be positive when [tex]A>38[/tex].

This difference is given as [tex]\pm5[/tex].

Therefore, the absolute value function can be written as:

[tex]|A-38|=5[/tex]

Case 1: [tex]A < 38[/tex]

As per definition of modulus function, it will open with a negative sign.

[tex]-A+38=5\Rightarrow A = 33[/tex]

Case 2: [tex]A>38[/tex]

As per definition of modulus function, it will open with a positive sign.

[tex]A-38=5\Rightarrow A = 43[/tex]

Therefore the answer is 33% or 43%

Answer:

about 1854.55 miles (rounded to the hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

[tex] \frac{44}{100} = \frac{816}{x} [/tex]

The first fraction represent the percentage of the distance.

The second one represent the number of 816 miles out of x

2. 100 × 816 = 44 × x

3. You'll get 81,600 = 44x

4. and then you divided both side by 44 to solve for x

I think it’s 1854.55 miles

Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.
a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?
b. Which figure has 37 tiles?
c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.

a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?

In figure 0, we let x=0

y = 5*0+7 = 0+7 = 7

b. Which figure has 37 tiles?

This means y = 37

37 = 5x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

37-7 = 5x+7-7

30 = 5x

Divide by 5

30/5 = 5x/5

6 =x

Figure 6 has 37 tiles

c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?

m is the slope or how much it is increasing each time x increases by 1  and b is how much we start with when x =0

Answers

Answer:

B. 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, dilation, rotation or translation.

If a point X(x,y) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new point is at X'(-x, -y).

If the square with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 5), C(5, 5) and D(5, 0) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new points are at A'(0, 0), B'(0, -5), C'(-5, -5), D'(-5, 0)
