Answer:

<u>There are 350 girls in the school.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the question correctly:

Ratio of number of boys to the girls = 5:7

Number of students in the school = 600

2.  How many girls are there in the school?

Number of girls = x

Number of boys = 5/7x

x + 5x/7 = 600

7x + 5x = 4,200

12x = 4,200

x = 350

<u>There are 350 girls in the school.</u>

And the number of boys is (600 - 350) = 250.

What is the area of the largest rectangle with lower base on the x-axis and upper vertices on the curve y = 27 - x2?
statuscvo [17]
The answer is 54 square units.
let the vertex in quadrant I be (x,y) 
<span>then the vertex in quadratnt II is (-x,y) </span>
<span>base of the rectangle = 2x </span>
<span>height of the rectangle = y </span>
<span>Area = xy </span>
<span>= x(27 - x</span>²<span>) </span>
<span>= -x</span>³<span> + 27x </span>
<span>d(area)/dx = 3x</span>²<span> - 27 </span><span>= 0 for a maximum of area </span>
<span>3x</span>²<span> = 3 x 3</span>² = <span>27 </span>
<span>x</span>²<span> = 9 </span>
<span>x = ±3 </span>
<span>y = 27-9 = 18 </span>
So, the largest area = 3 x 18 = 54 square units
