Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be number of females in the course

Number of males= 5x

total number of students= 5x+x

                                         = 6x

Fraction of male students= number of male students/total number of students

                                         = 5x/6x

                                         = 5/6

Answer:

5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M represents the Male and F represents the Female.

As per the statement:

There are 5 times as many males as females on the maths course at university.

Therefore M = 5F

Total number of person on the maths course = M + F = 5F+ F = 6F

Find the fraction of the course are male;

fraction of the course are male = Number of Males on the math course ÷ Total number of person on the course.

Substitute the given values we have;

fraction of the course are male = 5F/6F = 5/6

Hence, the fraction of the course are male is 5/6.

Answer:

f(x) = x² + 5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties
  • Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

y - x² = 5

<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>

  1. Add x² to both sides:                    y = x² + 5
  2. Rewrite <em>y</em>:                                       f(x) = x² + 5

the area of a trapezoid is 36 square inches. The height is 4 inches and one bases twice the length of the other base. What are t
vlada-n [284]
The formula for this is A= \frac{1}{2} ( b_{1} + b_{2} )h.  Filling in accordingly, 36= \frac{1}{2}(x+2x)(4).  This simplifies to 36= \frac{1}{2}(3x)(4) and 36=6x.  Therefore, x = 6 so the bases are 6 and 12.

Is 7,8,10 linear or non linear and why and pls don’t use big words cuz I don’t and then the teacher gonna ask why hahahah
Leona [35]

Answer:

9 and 8 are linear and 10 is non linear

Step-by-step explanation:

an = dn - c

The an stands for the nth term of the pattern. So a1 is the first term and a2 is the second term of the pattern. The d is the difference between each of the terms. The n stands for the term you're calculating. If you're calculating the third term, then n is 3. And c is a constant that you'll need to calculate.

For example, the linear number pattern of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, … has an equation of:

an = 2n - 1.
