Answer:

Number of boys were 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Direct proportion:

When x varies directly with y then x=ky, {where k is proportionality                            

                                                                                             constant}.

Let number of girl be g,

Number of boy be b,

And number of teacher be t.

From the question,

Number of girls varies directly as the number of boys and inversely with number of teacher.

So, Using direct proportion we get an equation

                        g=\frac{k\times b}{t}                    ........(a)

Case 1: g=50 ,  t=20 ,   and b=10

Now,  substituting all the values in equation (a) we get,

             50=\frac{k\times 10}{20}  ⇒ k\times 10=50\times20

                                          k=100

Case 2: g=10 ,  t=100 , b=?

Finding the number of boys using  k=100 we get,

            10=\frac{100\times b}{100}     ⇒ b=10

Therefore, Number of boys were 10.

Lim (sin(pi/x)) as x tends to 0 from both sides​
strojnjashka [21]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Limit does not exist.

Discussion:

The function 1/x has a vertical asymptote as x approaches 0 so

sin (pi/x) has no limit as x approaches 0. In fact, it oscillates wildly between -1 and 1 as x approaches 0. See attached graph of function

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

M (-6, 7)

E (4, 11)

r = 1 / 3

Formula

x = \frac{x1 + rx2}{1 + r}

y = \frac{y1 + ry2}{1 + r}

x = \frac{-6 + (1/3)(11)}{(4/3)} = \frac{-6 + (4/3)}{(4/3)}  = \frac{-18 + 4}{4} = \frac{-14}{4}  = \frac{-7}{2}

y = \frac{7 + (1/3)(11)}{4/3} = \frac{7 + (11/3)}{(4/3)} = \frac{21+ 11}{4}  = \frac{32}{4} = 8
