Answer:
8 cookies for each student that was present
Step-by-step explanation:
11 total dozens
10 dozens were separated throughout the present students
He has a TOTAL of 19 students but FOUR were absent
19-4=15
a dozen is 12
so 12x10=120
120 divide by 15 = 8
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
a positive 3 taken away from a negative 10 leaves you with less negative but still in the negative which means you get -7 so 3 is the blank
The geometric mean of two numbers x and y is √(xy).
So, if the geometric mean of 3 and a is 9 =>
9 = √(3a)
=> 9^2 = 3a
=> a = 9^2 / 3
a = 81 / 3
a = 27
Answer: the value of a is 27.
Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2
The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.
If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,
