Answer:

There are 171 members in the club

Number of boys = 38

Number of girls = 133

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total members of the club

Boys = 2/9x

if there are 95 more girls than boys

Girls = 2/9x + 95

how many girls are there in club?

Total members in the club = boys + girls

x = 2/9x + 2/9x + 95

x = 2+2/9x + 95

x = 4/9x + 95

x - 4/9x = 95

9x-4x/9 = 95

5/9x = 95

Divide both sides by 5/9

x = 95 ÷ 5/9

= 95 × 9/5

= 855/5

= 171

boys = 2/9x

= 2/9 * 171

= 342 / 9

= 38

Girls = 2/9x + 95

= 38 + 95

= 133

Total = 38 + 133

= 171

There are 171 members in the club

Number of boys = 38

Number of girls = 133

lora16 [44]

Answer:

D) 0.1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(J) = Probability of John to purchase 0 books

Let P(B) = Probability of Beth to purchase 0 books

P(J∩B) = Probability that both john and Beth will purchase 0 books .ie. a total of 0 books is purchased.

Since the decisions to purchase books are two independents events,

P(J∩B) = P(J) * P(B)

P(J) = 0.5

P(B) = 0.25

P(J∩B) = 0.5 * 0.25

P(J∩B) = 0.125

Write three functions. In the first function, y should vary directly with x. In the second function, y should vary inversely wit
skelet666 [1.2K]
<span>A) First function, y varies directly with x.

1) function: y = (3/4)x

2) graph: it is a straight line that passes through the origin and has slope 3/4. The slope means that the rate of change of the function is 3 units per every 4 units the x-value incresase or, what is the same 0.75 units per incresase unit of x - value.

3) real world example

 A recipe of a cake instructs to use 3 cups of sugar for every 4 cups of flour. So, how much flour you need if you have 12 cups of sugar?

y = (3/4)x , so if x = 3, y = (3/4)*12 = 3*12/4 = 9.

So, given that the variation is direct you multiply the number of cups of sugar times the constant rate, 3/4, to get the number of cups of flour in relation with the given amount of sugar.

B) The second function: y varies inversely with x.

Inverse variation => y*x = constant or y = constant / x.

Tnat means that if x increase y will decrease in the same factor that x increases.

1) function: y = 12 / x

2) graph: the form of this graph is called hyperbola, it is a decreasing line from left to right. It has two asymptotes, the y-axis (x =0) and the x-axis (y = 0). That means that x and y can never be zero.

As the x-value approaches 0, the y value approaches positive or negative infinity;  as the y-values approaches 0 the x-values approaches to positive or negative infinity.

If you take the positive values, the graph is a decreasing curve in the first quadrant (x and y are positive).

If you take the negative values, the graphs is a decreasing curve in the third quadrant (x and y are negative)

3)  real world example.

The relatioship between velocity and time in a uniform motion.

If the distance run by an object is constant, as the velocity increases the time decreases in the same factor.

Suppse a distant of 100  km between cities A and B.

How long will it take to travel from A to B at 50 km/ h and 25 km/h ?:

100 km = velocity * time

at 50 km/h: 100 km = 50 km/h * t => t =  [100 km ] / [50 km/h] = 2 hours

at 25 km/h: 100 kg = 25 km/h * t => t = [ 100 km ] / [25 km/h] = 4 hours.

 C) Third case, the relationship between x and y should is neither inverse variation nor direct variation.

Of course, there are infinite type of functions that are neither inverse variation nor direct variation: linear (that do not passe through the origin), quadratic, exponential, logarithmical, trigonometric sine, ...

1) example of function: y = 30 + 2x

2) graph: it is a straigh line with y-intercept 30 and slope 2.

3) real world example:

The cost of producing chairs consists of 30 dollars of rent for the facility plus 2 dollar to produce each chair, so the total cost y is 30 + 2x.
