The greatest possible number of club members is 7

Solution:

Given that, local readers’ club has a set of 49 hardback books and a set of 21 paperbacks

Each set can be divided equally among the club members

To find the greatest possible number of club members, we have to find the greatest common factor of 49 and 21

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

Greatest common factor of 49 and 21:

The factors of 21 are: 1, 3, 7, 21

The factors of 49 are: 1, 7, 49

Then the greatest common factor is 7

Thus, the greatest possible number of club members is 7

Answer:

Equation of the parabola: y = 3 - 7x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola with vertex (h,k) is y = a(x - h)^2 + k

Thus, the equation of this parabola is y = ax^2+3

To find a, use the fact that the parabola passes through the point (1,−4):

-4 = a(1)^2 +3

Solving this equation, we get that a = −7.

Thus, the equation of the parabola is y = 3 − 7x^2.

Line AB is tangent to circle C, AB= 4 inches, and AD = 2 inches. Find the radius of the circle.

Mariulka [41]

Let the radius of the circle be x, then by the tangent-secant theorem
4^2 = 2(x + 2)
16 = 2x + 4
2x = 16 - 4 = 12
x = 12/2 = 6

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 6 inches.

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:4. There are 35 students in the class. How many more girls than boys are there?

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 4 = 7 parts

Divide the number of students by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio

35 ÷ 7 = 5 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

3 parts 3 × 5 = 15 ← number of boys

4 parts = 4 × 5 = 20 ← number of girls

20 - 15 = 5

There are 5 more girls than boys
