Tina is playing a computer game. She starts with 100 points, and she loses points based on the following rules: • Each time a pl

ayer passes a level, 8 points are lost. • Each time a player catches a flower, 3 points are lost. Suppose Tina catches 6 flowers per level, on average. Solve an inequality to determine the number of levels she must complete to have fewer than 20 points left.

Answer: she needs to finish 4 levels to have a point total less than 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the following:

Initial score = 100 points

Losing points for passing a level = - 8 points

Losing points for catching a flower = - 3 points

Assume Tina catches 6 flowers during each level

Total levels required to have less than 20 points

Points lost per level:

Catching 6 flowers = -(6 × 3)

Passing the level = - 8

= - 18 + - 8 = - 26 points

Levels to finish to achieve less than 20 points

Let the number of levels be y

Starting points - (26 × number of levels) < 20

100 - (26y) < 20

100 - 26y < 20

-26y < 20 - 100

-26y < - 80

y > 80/26

y > 3.07

Therefore, she must finish 4 levels to have fewer than 20 points

Mr. And Mrs. Storey drove 3,200 miles in all during their vacation. Mr Storey drove 3 times as many miles as Mrs. Storey. Howany
zzz [12365]
In the ratio of miles traveled, Mr. Storey and Mrs. Storey's journey is represented as mr: mrs = 3: 1. The total of these ratio units equals 4 (3+1), which means each unit corresponds to 3200 divided by 4, resulting in 800 miles. Mr. Storey drove 3 multiplied by 800, equating to 2400 miles, while Mrs. Storey drove 1 multiplied by 800, totaling 800 miles.

If the area of the vegetable garden is 170 square feet which equation could be of use to find the length of the tomato patch? 0=
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The equation 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160 might be useful in determining the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the vegetable garden is specified as 170 ft².

Now, regarding the provided equations;

1) For 0 = 3x² + 2x + 180, applying the quadratic formula results in:

x = [-2 ± √(3² - 4(3 × 180)]/(2 × 3)

x = [-2 ± √(-2151)]/6

The square root value is negative, indicating no real solution for x.

Thus, this equation does not help find the length.

2) For the equation 0 = 3x² + 10x + 180, employing the quadratic formula, the square root value is also negative, hence there's no natural root for x. This means this equation can't be used to determine the length.

3) For 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160, the roots when using the quadratic formula yield -10.67 or 5. The value 5 is viable since it is a whole number. Considering the area is also a whole number, this equation can be applied to ascertain the length.

4) For 0 = 3x² - 160, simplifying gives;

3x² = 160

x² = 160/3

x = ±√(160/3)

x = ±7.303

Since the area is a whole number but this length isn't, this equation may not accurately determine the length.

Lesson 3 homework practice mean absolute deviation
AnnZ [12381]
To calculate the mean absolute deviation of
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
, we start by finding the mean;
 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7) =28/7
                               = 4
. Next, we determine the absolute differences of each data point from the mean (x-μ)
 = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3
. The absolute values are 3,2,1,0,1,2,3
. Now we compute the mean of these absolute differences,
3+2+1+0+1+2+3 = 12
                           = 12/7
                           = 1.7143
. Thus, the mean is 4, and the Mean absolute deviation comes out to be 1.7143
