12 girls out of 30 were selected, so the ratio "selected:tried" if 12/30. This fraction can be simplified into

\dfrac{12}{30} = \dfrac{2}{5}

Similarly, 16 boys out of 40 were selected, so the ratio "selected:tried" if 16/40. This fraction can be simplified into

\dfrac{16}{40} = \dfrac{2}{5}

So yes, the ratio of the number of students on the team to the number of students trying out the same for both boys and girls

Rewrite the set M by listing its elements. Make sure to use the appropriate set notation
Anika [276]
We are given the rule for the set,
M= {x | x is an integer and -2 < x < 1}In words, this set translates to numbers that are integers and greater than -2 but less than 1.
The actual elements of the set are
M = { -1, 0}
There are only two elements.

What is the domain of the function y=sqrt x?
vova2212 [387]
Square root is not defined to for negative values. For negative values, the answer of square root is a complex number which is not in Real Domain.

So any such values, for which the expression is not defined are not in the Domian. So the domian of square root of x will be All real numbers greater than or equal to 0. 

This can be expressed as:

[0 , ∞)
or
x ≥ 0

What is the equation, in standard form of the parabola that contains the following points? (-2,18), (0,2), (4,42)
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: y = 3x^{2} - 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in standard form of a parabola is given as :

y = ax^{2}  + bx + c

The points given are :

( -2 , 18 ) , ( 0,2) , ( 4 , 42)

This means that :

x_{1} = -2

x_{2} = 0

x_{3} = 4

y_{1} = 18

y_{2} = 2

y_{3} = 42

All we need do is to substitute each of this points into the equation , that is , x_{1} and y_{1} will be substituted to get an equation , x_{2} and y_{2} will be substituted to get an equation and x_{3} , y_{3} will also be substituted to get an equation also.

Starting with the first one , we have :

y = ax^{2}  + bx + c

18 = a[(-2)^{2}] + b (-2) + c

18 = 4a  - 2b + c

Therefore :

4a - 2b + c = 18 ................ equation 1

substituting the second values , we have

2 = a (0) + b ( 0) + c

2 = c

Therefore c = 2   ............... equation 2

also substituting the third values , we have

42 = a[(4)^{2}] + b (4) + c

42 = 16a + 4b + c

Therefore

16a + 4b + c = 42  ........... equation 3

Combining the three equations we have:

4a - 2b + c = 18 ................ equation 1

c = 2   ............... equation 2

16a + 4b + c = 42  ........... equation 3

Solving the resulting linear equations:

substitute equation 2 into equation 1 and equation 3 ,

substituting into equation 1 first we have

4a - 2b + 2 = 18

4a - 2b = 16

dividing through by 2 , we have

2a - b = 8 ............... equation 4

substituting c = 2 into equation 3 , we have

16a + 4b + c = 42

16a + 4b + 2 = 42

16a + 4b = 40

dividing through by 4 , we have

4a + b = 10 ................ equation 5

combining equation 4 and 5 , we have

2a - b = 8 ............... equation 4

4a + b = 10 ................ equation 5

Adding the two equations to eliminate b , we have

6a = 18

a = 18/6

a = 3

Substituting a = 3 into equation 4 to find the value of b , we have

2(3) - b = 8

6 - b = 8

b = 6 - 8

b = -2

Therefore :

a = 3 , b = -2 and c = 2

Substituting these values into the equation of parabola in standard form , we have

y = 3x^{2} - 2x + 2
