There were 20 football players in the room. Because the ratio of football players to soccer players was 5 to 7, that meant that, should the ratio represent the actual number of football players in the room, there would be 12 football players in the room. However, the ratio has to be set equal to accomodate the 48 football players, therfore the 12 hypothetical players in the room would have to be multiplied by 4 to equalize. But that also means that everything else in the ratio will have to be multiplied by 4 to truly balance the ratio. Since there were 5 out of 12 football players, and there are actually 48 football players, and 12 times 4 equals 48, then 5 times 4 should give us our actual number of football players. Finally, some basic math will tell you that because 5 times 4 equals 20, and we can say that there are actually 20 football players in the room.

topjm [15]
A smooth curve which approximates the shape of a histogram and describes the overall pattern of a distribution is called density curve. A density curve is a graph that shows probability. The area under the density curve is equal to 100 percent of all probabilities and can be a skewed distribution. The right or left skew does not refer to how the graph looks but it refers to whether the data is skewed.

In the quadratic function f(x) = ax^2 + c, what transformation occurs to the parent function when "a" is negative? *
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The parabola will reflect over the x axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

By setting the "a" value to a negative number, you will be inverting the f(x) values, in other words making a parabola open downwards, or a direct reflection over the x axis of the parent formula.

Take f(x)=1x^{2}+0 for example.

if we plug in 1 for x f(x) will equal 1

however if we make the a value negative

f(x)= -1x^{2}+0

and set x equal to 1,

you should see that f(x) is now -1
