M=f+240

m+f=25000, using m from above in this equation gives you:

f+240+f=25000  combine like terms on left side

2f+240=25000  subtract 240 from both sides

2f=24760  divide both sides by 2

f=12380, and since m=f+240

m=12620

So there are 12620 males and 12380 females in the city.

To solve you start by dividing 25,000 in half. This gives you 12,500. Then you subtract 240 from it to find the number of females (12,260). Finally you subtract 12, 260 from 25,000 to find the number of males.

So there are 12,260 females and 12,740 males

Need answer to this math problem
Elis [28]

The slope of this line is the difference of the y values divided by the difference of the x values. Solving this give 4/-3. Then, you already know the b in y = mx+b, which is 2, because you already have the value (0, 2). So, the answer is y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 2

Find all the zeros of <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%20%20%7B6x%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%20%20-%20%20%7B7x%7D%5E%7B
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

  {-1, 1/2, 2/3, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

I find a graphing calculator to be a most useful tool for problems like this. (See attached.)

_____

First of all, observe that the constant is -2, so 0 is not a zero.

It is often useful to look at the sum of coefficients. Here, that is 0, indicating 1 is a zero.

You can divide that out, or simply continue by looking at the sum of coefficients with odd-degree terms negated. Then you have 6 +7 -4 -7 -2 = 0, indicating -1 is also a zero.

__

At this point, it can be useful to divide out the factors you know. The synthetic division tableaus attached show that work. First is division by (x+1), then by (x -1).

The result of doing that is the quadratic ...

  6x^2 -7x +2 = 0

This can be factored ...

  (6x^2 -3x) -(4x -2) = 0 . . . . . . rewrite -7x and group term pairs

  3x(2x -1) -2(2x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor each pair

  (3x -2)(2x -1) = 0 . . . . . . the factorization of the remaining quadratic

The zeros of this are the values of x that make the factors zero: 2/3 and 1/2.

The zeros of the given function f(x) are x ∈ {-1, 1/2, 2/3, 1}.

Which is the graph of the system of inequalities
Leni [432]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Try testing each graph by picking a point on the shaded region or none shaded region.

-1/5 and 6= y-intercept

4/5 and 2= slope

You may notice that it is in y-intercept form. So to find where the shaded region goes, test a coordinate and apply it to the equation, if the answer is false, than half of the line is not where the shaded region goes.
