Answer: The fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced=1/11


Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: To calculate the number of boys last year.

According to the question,

The number of boys last year= 400+95

The number of boys last year=495

Step 2: To calculate the number of girls this year.

According to the question,

The number of girls this year= 400 + 400*1/5

The number of girls this year= 480

Step 3: To calculate the number of boys this year.

According to the question,

The number of boys this year= 480 – 30

The number of boys this year=450

Step 4: To calculate the fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced.

The number of boys reduced= the number of boys last year - the number of boys this year

The number of boys reduced= 495 - 450 = 45

The fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced  

= The number of boys reduced/the number of boys last year

Therefore,

The fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced= 45/495= 1/11

Answer:

1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of boys in school last year will be 400+95=495.

We are told that next year number of girls increased by 1/5. Next year number of girls in the school will be 400+400*\frac{1}{5} =400+80=480.

We are told that next year number of boys was 30 less than number of girls. So next year number of boys will be 480-30=450.

To find the factor at which number of boys reduced we will find the difference of number of boys between both years and divide by initial number of boys.

\frac{495-450}{495} =\frac{45}{495}  

\frac{1}{11}

Therefore, number of boys had been reduced by 1/11.

For what values of k
sergey [27]

If y = cos(kt), then its first two derivatives are

y' = -k sin(kt)

y'' = -k² cos(kt)

Substituting y and y'' into 49y'' = -16y gives

-49k² cos(kt) = -15 cos(kt)

⇒   49k² = 15

⇒   k² = 15/49

⇒   k = ±√15/7

Note that both values of k give the same solution y = cos(√15/7 t) since cosine is even.
