Assume that advanced students average 93% on an achievement test and regular students averaged 75%. If 100 advanced students and

300 regular students took the test, what would you expect the average to be? How many of each kind of student would be needed to get a group of 90 students who average 87% on the test? Please include work/explaination, I along with a few of my classmates are confused by this problem. We are in a chapter about systems of equations.

Average (mean) = (sum of all the data) / (# of data)

sum of all the data = (average)(# of data)

Thus for 100 students with an average of 93,
sum of all data = (93)(100) = 9300

and for 300 students with an average of 75,
sum of all data = (75)(300) = 22500

Therefore you would expect the overall average to be
(9300 + 22500) / (100 + 300) = 79.5 %

Now if there are x # of advanced students and y # of regular students, then

x + y = 90 (total # of students) and 93x + 75y = 87(x + y) (overall average)

The second equation can be simplified to x - 2y = 0

Subtracting the two equations yields

x = 60 and y = 90

Therefore you would need 60 advanced and 30 regular students.

Answer:

(6, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates are written in the form (x, y), where x is the x-axis value that the point is in, in this case 6, and where y is the y-axis value, in this case 5.

Find the intervals on which​ f(x) is​ increasing, the intervals on which​ f(x) is​ decreasing, and the local extrema. f (x )equa
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f(x) is increasing in the intervals (-∞,-4) and (9,∞)

f(x) is decreasing in the ingercal (-4,9)

The local extrema is:

local max at (-4,496)

and local min at (9,-1701)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by finding the derivative of the provided function, which we can find by using the power rule.

if f(x)=ax^{n} then f'(x)=anx^{n-1}

so we get:

f(x)=2x^{3}-15x^{2}-216x

f'(x)=6x^{2}-30x-216

in order to find the critical points we mus set the derivative equal to zero, since the local max an min will happen when the slope of the tangent line to the given point is zero, so we get:

6x^{2}-30x-216=0

we can solve this by factoring, so let's factor that equation:

6(x+4)(x-9)=0

we can now set each of the factors equal to zero so we get:

x+4=0 and x-9=0

when solving each for x we get that:

x=-4 and x=9

These are our critical points, now we can build the possible intervals we are going to use to determine where the function will be increasing and where it will be decreasing:

(-∞,-4), (-4,9) and (9,∞)

so now we need to test these intervals in the derivative to see if the graph will be increasing or decreasing in the given intervals. So let's pick x=-5 for the first one, x=0 for the second one and x=10 for the third one.

When evaluating them into the first derivative we get that:

f'(-5)=84, this is a positive answer so it means that the function is increasing in the interval (-∞,--4)

f'(0)=-216, this is a negative anser so it means that the function is decreasing in the interval (-4,9)

f'(10)=84, this is a positive answer so it means that the function is increasing in the interval (9,∞)

Now, for the local extrema, we can see that at x=-4, the function it's increasing on the left of this point while it's decreasing to the right, which means that there will be a local maximum at x=-4, so the local max is the point (-4,496)

We can see that at x=9, the function it's decreasing on the left of this point while it's increasing to the right, which means that there will be a local minimum at x=-9, so the local min is the point (9,-1701)

Solve for x <br> solve for x <br> solve for x
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

x = 95

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 60)° = (x + 35)° (corresponding angles are congruent)

2x - 60 = x + 35

2x - 60 - x = x + 35 - x

x - 60 = 35

x - 60 + 60 = 35 + 60

x = 95
