Answer:

100 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys : girls is 2 : 5.

In other words, boys are 2 parts of the school while girls are 5 parts of the school.

Since there are 40 boys, 2 parts of the school is 40. Thus:

2p = 40\\p = 20

1 part is 20.

Since there are 5 parts girls, there are

5p = 5*20 = 100

100 girls.

Answer: 100 girls

The graphs below have the same shape the equation of the red graph is f(x) =x^2. What is the equation of the blue graph?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

G(x)=(x-6)^2

which agrees with the answer D of your options

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the graph of G(x) has the initial graph shifted horizontally to the right in 6 units, therefore such horizontal shift is accomplished by subtracting the 6 units from the x-variable in the original expression:

G(x)=(x-6)^2

The graph of which function(s) will contain the point (4, 12)? y = x + 8 y = 3x y = 2x y = x + 6
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

y=x+8  and y=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The Given point is (4,12)

now we can substitute the point in each of the function and check wether it lies on it or not.

A.  y=x+8

substitute y=12,x=4

12=4+8=12 which is true

B.  y=3x

substitute y=12,x=4

12=3*4=12 which is true

C.  y=2x

substitute y=12,x=4

12=2*4=8  which is not true

D.  y=x+6

substitute y=12,x=4

12=4+6=10 . which is not true

Therefore option A and B are correct.
