Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3/2 boys/girls

if we call the expression as x there would be a total of 5x girls and boys

3x of this is boys

3x = 12 so x is 4 then 4×2 = 8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Starts with 3:2 If there are 3 boys for 2 girls

3 x 2 =6

2 x 2 =4

6:4

6 x 2 =12

4 x 2 =8

A student states that the constant of proportionality is 2.5 since 10 - 7.5 = 2.5.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

I cannot see the table. But if I could that would be helpful.

But, if you were to look at the table see if the numbers are increasing or decreasing for the y column. Once you figure this out, find out how much the numbers are increasing/decreasing by and that should be the answer for the constant of proportionality. If it is decreasing, it would be a negative number. If it is increasing, it would be a positive number.

Which equation is y = 2x2 – 8x + 9 rewritten in vertex form?

pishuonlain [190]

we have

$y=2x^{2} -8x+9$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$y-9=2x^{2} -8x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$y-9=2(x^{2} -4x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$y-9+8=2(x^{2} -4x+4)$

$y-1=2(x^{2} -4x+4)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$y-1=2(x-2)^{2}$

$y=2(x-2)^{2} +1$ -----> equation in vertex form

therefore

the answer is the option C

$y=2(x-2)^{2} +1$

Find the primary solution of cosθ=−0.3 ⁡

Agata [3.3K]

The solution of cos θ = −0.3 is θ = 107.45760312 degrees

Solution:

Given that we have to find the primary solution of $cos \theta = -0.3$

To solve this equation, you must find the unknown (theta)

$cos \theta = -0.3$

Use the inverse of cosine (Arccos) to find the angle measurement (in degrees) of theta

$\theta = arccos (-0.3)$

We know that arccos (-0.3) = 107.45760312 degrees

[ If you reference a unit circle or use a calculator ]

$\theta = 107.45760312^{\circ}$

Therefore solution of cos θ = −0.3 is θ = 107.45760312 degrees

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at any time t≥0 its velocity is given by v(t)= t^2In(t+2). What is the acceleration of

S_A_V [24]

Acceleration is the change of velocity per unit change of time. In this case, given the velocity equation, we can get the acceleration of the particle by taking the first derivative of the equation. v'(t)= t^2 (1/t+2) + 2t In(t+2). substituting t= 6, acceleration is equal to 29.45 m/s2.
