Martika surfs with her friends at Virginia Beach. Her friend, Mark caught 8 waves out of 20 possible waves to ride in the shore. They plan to stay out in the water for 50 more waves. How many of the 50 waves do you predict Mark will catch?

40 waves

Step-by-step explanation:

Prob (Mark catches waves) = Times waves caught / Total waves =  8 / 20 =  4 / 5 = 20%

Predicted waves out of 50 , caught = 4 / 5 or 20% of 50  = (4 / 5) x 50 = 40

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.

domain is all the x values included in the

0 ≤ x ≤ 2

range is all the y values of the graph

-2 ≤ y ≤ 2

***keep in mind that there are different ways to show domain and range

hope this !
