Sunnyside Middle School wanted to add a new school sport, so they surveyed the students to determine which sport is most popular

. Students were able to choose among soccer, football, lacrosse, or swimming. The same number of students chose lacrosse and swimming. The number of students who chose soccer was double the number of students who chose lacrosse. The number of students who chose football was triple the number of students who chose swimming. If 434 students completed the survey, how many students chose each sport?

Answer:

Lacrosse = 62 students

Swimming = 62 students

Soccer = 124 students

Football = 186 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information, we can draw some equations

<em>1.</em>    Lacrosse = Swimming

<em>2.</em>   Soccer = 2 * Lacrosse

<em>3.</em>   Football = 3 * Swimming

<em>4.</em>   Football + Soccer + Swimming + Lacrosse = 434

Lets solve for once sport at a time, I will start with Football.

I will put equation 1, 2 and 3 into equation 4

3Sw + 2L + L + L = 434

We can now again put equation 1 into the new equation 4

3L + 2L + L + L = 434

Simplify

7L = 434

L = 434 ÷ 7

L = 62 students

Since L = Sw, 62 students did swimming also

We can put L into equation 2 to solve for So

So = 2 * 62

So = 124 students

And now we can put Sw into equation 3 to solve for F

F = 3 * 62

F = 186 students

Explanation:

The perimeter of the track is the two circumferences of the semicircles (when combined, they form one circle, so we can just find the circumference of the circle) added to the lengths of the rectangle (

160

meters).

To find the circumference of the circle, we need to know the diameter.

Circumference of a circle:

d

π

or

2

r

π

, where

d

represents diameter and

r

represents radius

The diameter of the circle happens to be the same as the width of the rectangle. We know that the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. We know that the area is

14400

and that its length is

160

.

Width: area divided by length

14400

160

=

90

The diameter of the circle and the width of the rectangle is

90

meters.

Circumference:

90

⋅

π

=

90

π

→

If you are using an approximation such as 3.14 for

π

, multiply that by 90

Add

160

⋅

2

to the circumference since the lengths of the rectangle are also part of the perimeter.

160

⋅

2

=

Let f be the function given by f(x) = x+4(x−1)(x+3) on the closed interval [−5,5]. On which closed interval is the function f gu
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x+4(x^2+2x-3)=4x^2+9x-12

f'(x)=8x+9

f'(x)=0,gives x=-9/8

f(-5)=-5+4(-5-1)(-5+3)=-5+4*-6*-2=43

f(-9/8)=-9/8+4(-9/8-1)(-9/8+3)

=-9/8+4*-17/8*15/8

=-9/8-255/16

=-273/16=-17 1/16

f(5)=4*5^2+9*5-12=100+45-12=133

absolute maximum=133

absolute minimum=-17 1/16

Which equation has a graph that goes through the points (4, -6) and (0, 6)?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

y = -3x + 6\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the gradient of the equation

\frac{Difference in y}{Difference in x} \\\\\frac{6 - - 6}{0 - 4}  = \frac{12}{-4} = -3

The equation will have the gradient -3x

Use the general equation of a line, and substitute the coordinates in to find the y-intercept.

y = x + c\\ y = -3x + c\\

(4, -6)

-6 = -3(4) + c\\ -6 = -12 + c\\ -6 + 12 = c\\ c = 66 = -3(0) + c\\ 6 = 0 + c\\ c = 6

(0, 6)

6 = -3(0) + c\\ 6 = -0 + c\\ c = 6

The equation of the line is

y = -3x + 6\\
