From a class of girls and boys the probability that one student chosen at random to answer a question will be a girl is 1/3 . If

four boys leave the class , the probability that a student chosen at random to answer a question will be a girl is 2/5 . How many boys and girls are there in the class before the four boys leave ?

Let the no. of girls be x and boys be y......
x/y=1/3
=>3x=y            ...............(I)
now 4 boys leave the class is then
x/y-4=2/5
=>5x=2y-8
(I)=>5x=2(3x)-8
x=8
now 3x=y
=>y=24
therefore no. of girls is 8 and the no. of boy is 24..............

How do you solve a system of linear equations by graphing? ​
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.

<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

__

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.

Determine the equations of the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, if any, for y=x^3/(x-2)^4
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the vertical asymptotes of the function f(x) you must find the limit when x tends k of f(x). If this limit tends to infinity then x = k is a vertical asymptote of the function.

\lim_{x\to\\2}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4} \\\\\\lim_{x\to\\2}\frac{2^3}{(2-2)^4}\\\\\lim_{x\to\\2}\frac{2^3}{(0)^4} = \infty

Then. x = 2 it's a vertical asintota.

To obtain the horizontal asymptote of the function take the following limit:

\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4}

if \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4} = b then y = b is horizontal asymptote

Then:

\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4} \\\\\\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{1}{(\infty)} = 0

Therefore y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote of f(x).

Then the correct answer is the option a) x = 2, y = 0

How to solve for X: X-B=A
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x−a)(x−b)=x2−(a+b)x+ab

Now, this with the third bracket.

(x2−(a+b)x+ab)(x−c)=x3−(a+b+c)x2+(ac+bc+ab)x−abc

But there’s another way to do this, which is easier. Assume the given expression is equal to 0, then, we can form a cubic equation as

x3−(sum−of−roots)x2+(product−of−roots−taken−two−at−a−time)x−(product−of−roots) , which is essentially what we got above.

Write the sentence as an​ equation, using x as the variable. Then find the solution of the equation from the set of integers bet
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The solution of given equation is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the variable such that

x \in (-12,12)

Relation:

The quotient of a number and 4 is negative 1

We can write the equation as:

\dfrac{x}{4} = -1

Solution:

\dfrac{x}{4} = -1\\\\\Rightarrow x = 4\times -1\\\Rightarrow x = -4

Thus, the solution of given equation is x = -4
