On average, the center for a basketball team hits 40% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 60% of his shots. If the guard takes 10 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 10 x \( \frac{60}{100} \) = \( \frac{60 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{600}{100} \) = 6 shots
The center makes 40% of his shots so he'll have to take:
shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)
to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:
center shots taken = \( \frac{6}{\frac{40}{100}} \) = 6 x \( \frac{100}{40} \) = \( \frac{6 x 100}{40} \) = \( \frac{600}{40} \) = 15 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
4! = ?
4 x 3 |
|
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
none of these is correct |
|
a = -7 |
|
a = 7 |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
