Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 54 by 3 you get 18. Now we get the ratio of boys which is 2 and you multiply it by 18 as 1 ratio I'm this case is 18.

Once you multiply the two numbers, you get 36 boys.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio relates to 54 girls.

Divide the number of girls by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

54 ÷ 3 = 18 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 18 = 36 ← number of boys

1. Writing an equation for an exponential function by
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 1) t(n)=0.6(2)^n

2) f(x)=10(5)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the function that shows the thickness of the paper after n folds,

t(n) = ab^n         ---------(1)

Since, According to the question,

Initially the thickness of the paper = 0.6

That is, at n = 0, t(0) = 0.6

By equation (1),

0.6 = a(b)^0\implies 0.6 = a

Hence the function that shows the given situation,

t(n) = 0.6 b^n       -----------(2)

Again when we fold the paper the thickness of the paper will be doubled.

Thus, at n = 1, t(1) = 1.2

By equation (2),

1.2 = 0.6 b^1\implies 2 = b

Thus, the complete function is,

t(n) = 0.6 (2)^n    

2) Let the function that is passing through the points (-2, 2/5) and (-1,2),

f(x) = ab^x         ---------(1)

For f(x) = 2, x = -1

By equation (1),

2= ab^{-1}       ---------(2)

Also, For f(x) = 2/5, x = -2

Again, By equation (1),

\frac{2}{5}= a(b)^{-2}

\implies \frac{2}{5}=ab^{-1}b^{-1}=2b^{-1}

\implies \frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{b}

\implies 2b=10

\implies b = 5

By substituting this value in equation (2),

We get, a = 10

Hence, from equation (1), the function that is passing through the points (-2, 2/5) and (-1,2),

f(x) = 10(5)^x

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 4x+6y=1 that has a greater y intercept compared to 2x+3y=18
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

4y = 6x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

let us write both equations in this form;

we have this as;

6y = -4x + 1

y = -4x/6 + 1/6

and;

2x + 3y = 18

3y = -2x + 18

y = -2x/3 + 6

So firstly we want to find an equation that is perpendicular to the first

When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes has a product of -1

The slope of the first line is -4/6

let the slope of the line we want be m

As per they are perpendicular;

-4/6 * m = -1

-4m/6 = -1

-4m = -6

m = 6/4

So now, we want the y-intercept greater than that of the second equation which is a y-intercept of 6

we can choose 10

and we have the equation as:

y = 6x/4 + 10

multiply through by 4

4y = 6x + 40

The answers to this question cousin
podryga [215]
If R is between Q and S then QR+RS=QS

given
QR=x+4
RS=3x-1
and QS=27

x+4+3x-1=27
combine like terms
4x+3=27
minus 3 both sides
4x=24
divide both sides by 4
x=6

sub back
QR=x+4
QR=6+4
QR=10

RS=3x-1
RS=3(6)-1
RS=18-1
RS=17

x=6
QR=10
RS=17
