there are 12 students working in a library if three Fourth of them are girls how many girls are working in the piano

1 answer:

3 0

I don’t really get your question, because you said that ¾ of them are girls, Then how many girls are working in the piano? You did not stated the question well. However, I will try to answer this base on my understanding. There are a total of 12 students that works in the library. IF ¾ of them are girls: => 12 / 4 = 3 *3 = 9 => 9 of them are girls and 3 of them are boys. Thus, how many girls are working in the piano. The probability is 9, there might be 9 girls working in the piano, or less than 9. Since you did not mention how many girls worked in different part of the library.

Let u and v be the solutions to 3x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0. Find u/v+v/u

Answer: $\dfrac{-17}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: u and v be are the solutions of $3x^2+5x+7=0$

Let $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is the quadratic equation and u and v are the zeroes/solutions then

Sum of zeroes; $u+v = \dfrac{-b}{a}$

Product of zeroes; $uv= \dfrac{c}{a}$

Comparing $3x^2+5x+7=0$ to $ax^2+bx+c=0$

we get a= 3 , b= 5 and c = 7

$u+v = \dfrac{-b}{a} = \dfrac{-5}{3}----(i)$

$uv= \dfrac{c}{a} = \dfrac{7}{3}----(ii)$

Now we have to find

$\dfrac{u}{v} +\dfrac{v}{u} =\dfrac{u^2+v^2}{uv}$ adding and subtracting 2uv in numerator we get

$= \dfrac{u^2+v^2+2uv-2uv}{uv}= \dfrac{(u+v)^2-2uv}{uv}$

Substituting the values from (i) and (ii) we get

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{-5}{3} )^2-2\times \dfrac{7}{3} }{\dfrac{7}{3} } = \dfrac{\dfrac{25}{9} -\dfrac{14}{3} }{\dfrac{7}{3} }= \dfrac{\dfrac{25-42}{9} }{\dfrac{7}{3}} =\dfrac{-17}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{7} = \dfrac{-17}{21}$
