Answer: There are 10 boys and 7 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boys and y be the number of girls then according to the question we have the following equations :-

x+y=17...............................(1)\\\\7x+11y=147...........................(2)

The value of y from (1) will be

y=17-x , substitute this in equation (2), we get

7x+11(17-x)=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ 7x+187x-11x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ 187-4x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4x=147-187\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4x=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

∴ y=17-10=7

Hence, there are 10 boys and 7 girls in the class.

Find the vertical asymptote(s) of f of x equals quantity 4 x squared plus 3x plus 6 end quantity over quantity x squared minus 3
siniylev [52]

The vertical asympototes of f(x) are  at x = -6 and x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertical asymptote(s) of a rational function,

  • Equate the denominator by 0
  • Solve it for x
  • If x = a, then the vertical asymptote is at x = a

∵ f(x)=\frac{4x^{2}+3x+6}{x^{2}-36}

- Equate the denominator x² - 36 by 0

∵ x² - 36 = 0

- Add 36 to both sides

∴ x² = 36

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = ± 6

∴ There are vertical asymptotes at x = -6 and x = 6

The vertical asympototes of f(x) are  at x = -6 and x = 6

R is inversely proportional to A.
hjlf

Here are the answer: a) R = 3.6 and b) A = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

R is inversely proportional to A.

R ∝ \frac{1}{A}

so, R = \frac{k}{A}  -------eq 1 where k is any constant

To find the values of a) R when A = 5 and

b) Value of A when R = 9

Now,

Putting R = 12 and A = 1.5 in eq 1 we get,

12 = \frac{k}{1.5}

or, k = 12×1.5 = 18

From eq 1 we get,

R = \frac{18}{A} --------- eq 2

Now,

a) Putting A= 5 in eq 2 we get,

R = \frac{18}{5} = 3.6

b)  Putting R = 9 in eq 2 we get

R = \frac{18}{A}

or, A = \frac{18}{9} = 2
