Answer: 2 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys = 4

Number of girls = 10

Total number of students = total number of boys + total number of girls ,that is

Total number of students = 4 + 10

= 14

Therefore , the ratio in the simplest form that compares number of boys to total number of students is given by

number of boys : total number of students , that is

4 : 14

which will be

2 : 7 in the simplest form

A ratio is something in math that is used to compare two things. In this question, we can use a ration to compare the boys to total number of students in the class.

Add to find total number of students: 4 + 10 = 14

Now put into a ratio: 4:14

Simplify the ratio by diving with common factors.

4/2:14/2 → 2:7

Final answer ~ 2:7 or 2/7

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

3x4²-(-6)²+4-6x4 <br>Need help!! Please!!

goblinko [34]

Assuming the x stands for multiplication... follow the ordering rules:

First let's take care of the exponents. 4²=16 and (-6)²=36. At the same time I will add some spacing between the terms:

3x16 - 36 + 4 - 6x4

Now do the multiplications:

48 - 36 + 4 - 24

The rest is just addition and subtraction

48 - 36 + 4 - 24 = -8

6. Write the equation of the line.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As the equation of a line is in the form y = mx + c:

Step 1 - Calculate the y intercept

This can be done by looking at the y coordinate where x = 0:

y = mx + c

In the picture, the y intercept is 2 so:

y = mx + 2

Step 2 - Calculate the slope

This can be calculated by:

$\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}$

Get two sets of coordinates:

(0, 2) and (2, 4)

Calculate the changes by subtracting from one another:

$\frac{4 - 2}{2 - 0} \\\frac{2}{2}\\=1$

So the gradient is 1, meaning the equation of the line is:

$y = 1x + 2 \\\text{or}\\y = x + 2$

Hope this helps!

Verify the identity. <br> tan (x + pi/2) = -cot x

Leno4ka [110]

$\tan\left(x+\dfrac\pi2\right)=\dfrac{\sin\left(x+\frac\pi2\right)}{\cos\left(x+\frac\pi2\right)}=\dfrac{\sin x\cos\frac\pi2+\cos x\sin\frac\pi2}{\cos x\cos\frac\pi2-\sin x\sin\frac\pi2}=\dfrac{\cos x}{-\sin x}=-\cot x$

using Cramers rule , what is the value of x in the system of linear equations below? -1/2x+3y=-4 -x-y=-1

Tatiana [17]

Cramer's rule tells you that the value of x in the system of equations

$ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f$

is given by

$x=\dfrac{ce-fb}{ae-bd}$

In matrix terms, this is the determinant of the coefficient matrix with the right-side constants replacing the x-coefficients divided by the determinant of the matrix of coefficients. The value of y can be found by doing similar math with the numerator being the determinant of the coefficient matrix with the right-side constants replacing the y-coefficients. For systems of higher dimension, the column of right-side coefficients replaces each column of variable coefficients in turn.

For your equations, this evaluates to

$x=\dfrac{(-4)\cdot (-1)-(-1)\cdot 3}{\frac{-1}{2}\cdot (-1)-(-1)\cdot 3}=\dfrac{7}{\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)}\\\\x=2$
