The girls are 4/9 of the total number of boys and girls, so the total number is 9×96/4=216 and there are 5/9×216=120 boys.
Let the extra number of boys be b, then the total becomes 216+b. We have 96 girls and 120+b boys.
The ratio 2/3=96/(120+b).
Cross multiplying: 2(120+b)=3×96=288.
240+2b=288, 2b=288-240=48, b=24.
So 24 boys arrived.

If y varies directly as x, and y is 48 when x is 6, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 2?
sertanlavr [38]

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x they are directly proportional, which means they relate to each other in the same way....

2 : y = 6: 48

what is y if x = 2?

The value of y can be found if you write it a two fracrions

2 : y = 6 : 48

2 / y = 6 / 48

cross multiply the fractions gives

6*y = 48 *2

divide left and right of the = sign by 6 gives the answer:

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Other method:

multiply left and right of the = sign by y

2 * y/y = y *6 / 48

6y / 48 = 2 * 1

multiply left and right of the = sign by 48

6y * 48/48 = ( 48 *2 )

6y = ( 48 *2 )

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

6/6* y = ( 48 *2 )/6

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

The rate of change of revenue (in dollars per calculator) from the sale of x calculators is R′(x)=(x+1)ln(x+1)R ′ (x)=(x+1)ln(x+
jekas [21]

Answer:

Total revenue = \frac{169}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{169}{4}  dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

R'(x)=(x+1)\ln(x+1)

Integrate with respect to x.

R(x)= ∫(x+1)\ln(x+1) dx

Take x+1=u

Differentiate with respect to x

dx=du

So,

R(x)= ∫u\ln(u)\,du

Use integration by parts: ∫f g dx = f∫ g dx-∫(∫g dx)f' dx

Therefore,

R(x)=  \frac{u^2}{2}\ln(u) -  ∫\frac{u^2}{2}\frac{1}{u}\,du

=  \frac{u^2}{2}\ln(u) -  ∫\frac{u}{2}\,du

Put u=x+1

R(x)=   \frac{(x+1)^2}{2}\ln(x+1)-\frac{(x+1)^2}{4}

To find total revenue from the sale of the first 12 calculators, put x=12

R(x)=   \frac{(12+1)^2}{2}\ln(12+1)-\frac{(12+1)^2}{4}\\\\= \frac{(13)^2}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{(13)^2}{4}\\\\=\frac{169}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{169}{4}

Total revenue = \frac{169}{2}\ln(13)-\frac{169}{4}  dollars

Multiply and simplify the product.
lianna [129]
Multiplying complex numbers is a lot like multiplying binomial terms. The only relation one has to remember when dealing with complex numbers is that i² = -1.

Now let us try to multiply binomials. This is done by adding the products of the first term of the first binomial distributed to the second binomial, and the second term of the first binomial distributed to the second binomial. This is done below:

(<span>3 – 5i)(–2 + 4i)  = -6 + 12i + 10i -20i²
</span>
Simplifying and applying i²<span> = -1:</span>
-6 + 22i - 20(-1)
-6 + 22i + 20
14 + 22i

Among the choices, the correct answer is B.

Given f(x) = x ^ 2 - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x + 2 solve f(x) = g(x) . Use the tables below to help you, but please explain how you ca
Travka [436]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x + 2

To solve f(x) = g(x), equate the right sides, that is

x² - 6x + 8 = x + 2 ← subtract x + 2 from both sides

x² - 7x + 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 1)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

These solutions can be verified from the tables, that is

f(x) = g(x) = 3 ← when x = 1

f(x) = g(x) = 8 ← when x = 6
