Sean mcmanus of cbs sport said that "the absurd thoughts that limited what minorities could or could not do in sport are slowly being eroded by minorities proving that they can do the jobs. real progress is being made. in sport, since many pick their players and coaches based primarily on the athlete’s or manager’s ability to contribute to winning." true or false.

TRUE

Explanation:

Society has evolved over time and the barriers imposed by extreme conservative ideologies in the past are being replaced by respect and reflection and optimization of results. This can be seen in several sectors, such as the military, but it is especially noticeable in sports.

Some sports, such as football and basketball, have had a restriction on athletes' color and orientation. Currently, everyone is accepted because there is the view that all are equal and what should be preponderant for the escalation of an athlete is their ability to contribute and no factor referring to the essence or the appearance should be preventing a person from exercising a profession .

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = -

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
