Answer:
Mason wins after 18 total moves
Step-by-step explanation:
Mason's optimal strategy is to keep the total number of marbles at 11n+1, so he will take 10 marbles to start. For each move Jason makes, Mason will take a number of marbles that makes the sum from the two turns be 11.
After each of Mason's 9 turns, the number of remaining marbles will be ...
89, 78, 67, 56, 45, 34, 23, 12, 1
It doesn't matter how many marbles Jason takes. He will lose on his 9th turn.
Mason's best strategy is to stay the overall variety of marbles at 11n+1, thus he can take ten marbles to begin. for every move Jason makes, Mason can take variety of marbles that creates the add from the 2 turns be eleven.
After every of Mason's nine turns, the amount of remaining marbles are
89, 78, 67, 56, 45, 34, 23, 12, 1
It doesn't matter what number marbles Jason takes. He can lose on his ninth flip.
mason will win after 18 moves

The function f(x) is shown in this graph. The function g(x)=-2x-6. Compare the slopes
Since f(x) = -3x + 2, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).
Hence, the answer is (D).
The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x) because the slope of f(x) is 1 option (D) is correct.
What is the slope?The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).
[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have:
g(x) = -2x - 6
f(x) is shown in the graph
The slope of g(x), m = -2
From the graph:
(0, 2) and (-1, 1)
M = (1-2)/(-1) = 1
Thus, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x) because the slope of f(x) is 1 option (D) is correct.

A kite is a __________. A. quadrilateral B. parallelogram C. rectangle D. trapezoid
A kite is a quadrilateral.
So the correct answer is A.
Hope this helps,
Davinia.
Final answer:
A kite is a quadrilateral, which is a shape with four sides, but with unique properties that differentiate it from parallelograms, rectangles, and trapezoids.
Explanation:
A kite in geometry is a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is a kind of shape with four sides, which might not be as commonly discussed in early education as shapes like squares and triangles. A kite is defined by two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length, with one pair longer than the other. Unlike a parallelogram, the sides of a kite do not always have to be parallel to each other. In addition, a kite does not necessarily have right angles as a rectangle does, nor does it have only one pair of parallel sides as a trapezoid does. Therefore, when characterizing a kite, the correct answer is A. quadrilateral.

Answer:
A. lim [x ⇒ -∞] g(x) = -5 . . . . . . written in text form, not typeset
Step-by-step explanation:
A horizontal asymptote is a line that the function approaches but never reaches. It represents the limiting value that the function can have. (The function can come as close to that value as you like for some value of x, but can never actually reach that value.)
Here, you're told the asymptote for negative x values is -5. That means g(x) gets closer and closer to -5 for values of x that are more and more negative. That is, as x approaches infinity, g(x) approaches -5. We say -5 is the limit of g(x) as x approaches negative infinity.
___
The attached graph shows a function that has characteristics like those of g(x).
___
This question is about vocabulary: what is the meaning of "asymptote" and "limit", and how do you read a description of a limit written using math language.
use the distance formula to find base and height of the triangle with points (-3, 4), (1, 4), (1, 1) Show your work.
Answer:
The base = 4 units and the height = 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets remember the rule of the distance between 2 points
- The two points are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)
∴ The distance = √[(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²]
* The vertices of the triangles are (-3 , 4) , (1 , 4) , (1 , 1)
- If two points have the same y-coordinate
∴ The line joining the to point is horizontal
∴ Its length = x2 - x1
- Because √[(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²] and y2 = y1
∴ d = √(x2 - x1)² ⇒ cancel power 2 with the radical sign
∴ d = x2 - x1
* Similar you can find the vertical distance
- If two points have the same x-coordinate
∴ The line joining the to point is vertical
- Its length = y2 - y1
∵ The points (-3 , 4) , (1 , 4) have same y-coordinate
∴ This side of the triangle is horizontal
∴ Its length = 1 - -3 = 4
∵ The points (1 , 4) , (1 , 1) have same x-coordinate
∴ This side of the triangle is vertical line
∴ Its length = 4 - 1 = 3
* The two sides of the triangle are ⊥
∴ One of them is the base of the triangle and the other is the height
* The base = 4 units and the height = 3 units
It’s the second question. 8 friends share twelve candy bars equally. How many does each friend get?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take 1 candy bar and split it between 8 people, each person will get 1/8 of a candy bar. 1/8 for each of those 12 candy bars will give each person 12 × 1/8 = 12/8, or 3/2 = 1 1/2 bars.
You are trying to share 12 candy bars between 8 friends.
Therefore,
12 candy bars ÷ 8 friends = 1.5 bars per person
12 ÷ 8 = 1.5 candy bars
What percent of 370 is 166.5
A. 0.45%
B. 22%
C. 37%
D. 45%
The answer is D. 45%
The answer would be 45%
To solve this pretend that 370 is 100
Then put (x) as the value you are looking for
So 100%=370
(x)%=166.5
Then set it up like this:
100%. 370
=
x%. 166.5
Then divide or do cross multiplication and you find out that x is 45%

At 2:00pm a car's speedometer reads 20mph, and at 2:10pm it reads 30mph.
Use the Mean Value Theorem to find an acceleration the car must achieve.
Answer( in mi/h^2):
The answer should be 30 based on what I've attempted but that was wrong.
Over this 10-minute interval, the car's average acceleration is
[tex]\dfrac{30\,\mathrm{mph}-20\,\mathrm{mph}}{10\,\mathrm{min}}=\dfrac{10\,\mathrm{mph}}{\frac16\,\mathrm h}=60\dfrac{\rm mi}{\mathrm h^2}[/tex]
The MVT says that at some point during this 10-minute interval, the car must have had an acceleration of 60 mi/h^2.
The acceleration in this lapse of time is 60 miles per hour squared.
How to get the mean acceleration?To get this, we need to use the formula:
A = (difference in velocity)/time
The change in velocity is:
30mph - 20mph = 10mph
The time is from 2:00pm to 2:10 pm, so 10 minutes, but we need this in hours so:
10 min = (10/60) hours = 1/6 hours
Then the acceleration is given by:
A = 10mph/(1/6) = 60 m/h²

a specialty food store carries four popcorn flavors. the presentage of each type of flavor carried by the store is shown below All the boxes of cinnamon and cheese popcorn are displayed at the front entrance is the display has 60 boxes how many boxes of popcorn does the store have in all
kettle corn 60%
caramel popcorn 10%
cinnamon popcorn 15%
cheese popcorn 15%
(answers)
A 400
B 200
C 100
D 30
Answer:
200 Boxes of Popcorn
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total amount of popcorn boxes there are in the store, we need to consider the amount of boxes displayed at the front of the store.
We have:
60 boxes = Cinnamon + Cheese
60 boxes = 15% + 15%
60 = 30% of the total boxes in the store.
Now we know that 60 boxes is equivalent to 30%, we can use this to find the number of kettle corn.
60 + 60 = 120
30% + 30% = 60%
This means that we have 120 Kettle Korn boxes.
We can also use the amount of 60 boxes to find what 10% will be equivalent to.
60 boxes = 30%
So if we divide the number of boxes by 3, we'll get the 10% of the total number of boxes.
60/3 = 30%/3
20 = 10%
So all in all we have:
120 Kettle Korn
60 Cinnamon + Cheese
20 Caramel
120 + 60 + 20 = 200
There are 200 popcorn boxes in the store.

Solve algebraically
y=x^2 + 2x
y=3x+20
Answer:
x = 5 and y = 35
OR
x = -4 and y = 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equate the right-hand side of the two equations:
x² + 2 x = y = 3 x + 20.
x² + 2 x - 3 x - 20 = 0.
x² - x - 20 = 0.
Quadratic discriminant
Δ = b² - 4 a · c
= (-1)² - 4 × 1 × (-20)
= 81.
There are two roots:
x₁ = (-b + [tex]\sqrt{\Delta}[/tex]) / (2 a)
= (- (-1) + [tex]\sqrt{81}[/tex]) / (2 × 1)
= (1 + 9) / 2
= 10 / 2
= 5
and
x₂ = (-b - [tex]\sqrt{\Delta}[/tex]) / (2 a)
= (1 - 9) / 2
= -4.
Find the value of y in both case.
y₁ = 3 × 5 + 20 = 35.
y₂ = 3 × (-4) + 20 = 8.
The solution to the system of equations is [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex] with [tex]\( y = 35 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( x = -4 \)[/tex] with [tex]\( y = 8 \)[/tex].
To solve these equations algebraically, we'll set them equal to each other since they both represent [tex]\( y \)[/tex].
Given equations:
[tex]\[ y = x^2 + 2x \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y = 3x + 20 \][/tex]
Setting them equal to each other:
[tex]\[ x^2 + 2x = 3x + 20 \][/tex]
Now, let's rearrange this equation to solve for \( x \):
[tex]\[ x^2 + 2x = 3x + 20 \[/tex]
[tex]x^2 + 2x - 3x - 20 = 0 \[/tex]
[tex]x^2 - x - 20 = 0[/tex]
This is a quadratic equation in the form [tex]\( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \)[/tex]. We need to factorize or use the quadratic formula to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. Factoring might work here:
[tex]x^2 - x - 20 = 0[/tex]
[tex](x - 5)(x + 4) = 0[/tex]
Setting each factor equal to zero:
[tex]\[ x - 5 = 0 \] or \( x + 4 = 0 \)[/tex]
Solving for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in each case:
[tex]\[ x = 5 \] or \( x = -4 \)[/tex]
Now that we have found the potential values of [tex]\( x \)[/tex], let's find the corresponding [tex]\( y \)[/tex] values using either of the original equations. Let's use [tex]\( y = x^2 + 2x \)[/tex]:
For [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex]:
[tex]y = 5^2 + 2(5)[/tex]
[tex]y = 25 + 10[/tex]
[tex]y = 35[/tex]
For [tex]\( x = -4 \)[/tex]:
[tex]y = (-4)^2 + 2(-4)[/tex]
[tex]y = 16 - 8[/tex]
[tex]y = 8[/tex]
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex] with [tex]\( y = 35 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( x = -4 \)[/tex] with [tex]\( y = 8 \)[/tex].
How many times does the quadratic function below intersect the x-axis? y=x+10x+25
The quadratic function y=x^2+10x+25 intersects the x-axis at a single point (x = -5).
Explanation:A quadratic function intersects the x-axis when the value of y is equal to 0. To find the number of times the function intersects the x-axis, we need to determine the number of solutions for y = 0. The given quadratic function is y = x^2 + 10x + 25. We can solve this equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula.
Factoring: Factoring the quadratic equation, we get (x + 5)(x + 5) = 0.
Since both factors are the same, the function intersects the x-axis at a single point (x = -5).
Quadratic formula: The quadratic formula is x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a.
Plugging in the values from the given quadratic function, we get x = (-10 ± √(100 - 4(1)(25))) / 2(1).
Simplifying further, we get x = (-10 ± √(100 - 100)) / 2, which reduces to x = -5. This indicates that the quadratic function intersects the x-axis at a single point (x = -5).
