Answer:

520 girls attended the picnic

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

step 1

Let

Homewood middle school total students=1200

A=unknown=total of girls

(2/3)A=total girls attended the picnic

B=unknown= total of boys

(1/2)B=total boys attended the picnic

step2

replace

A+B=1200\ equation (1) \\\frac{2A}{3}+\frac{B}{2}=730\ equation(2)\\

Step 3

find A and B

from equation (1)

A=1200-B\ equation\ (3)\\\\

from equation (2)

\frac{2A}{3}+\frac{B}{2}=730\\\frac{2A}{3}=730-\frac{B}{2}\\A=(730-\frac{B}{2})*\frac{3}{2} \\1200-B=1095-\frac{3B}{4}\\A=A\\-B+\frac{3B}{4}=1095-1200\\-\frac{B}{4}=-105\\ B=420\\\\hence\\\\A=1200-B\\A=1200-420\\A=780

total girls attended  the picnic=(2/3)A=(2/3)780=520

520 girls attended the picnic

a utility pole is 8m high. a cable is stretched from the top of the pile to a point in the ground that is 7 m from the bottom of
Olin [163]

We can draw this as:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the cable, as it is the hypotenuse of a right triangle:

\begin{gathered} c^2=7^2+8^2 \\ c^2=49+64 \\ c^2=113 \\ c=\sqrt[]{113} \\ c\approx10.63 \end{gathered}

Answer: the cable length is 10.63 m.

Let the demand function for a product be q = 100 - 2p. the inverse demand function of this demand function is:_______
Westkost [7]

The inverse demand function of the given demand function is <u>p = 50 - q/2</u>.

A graph that depicts the relationship between a product's price and demand is called a demand curve. On a demand graph, the horizontal axis represents the amount desired, while the vertical axis represents the product's price.

The price is a function of the quantity required when there is an inverse demand curve. The inverse of a demand curve indicates that variations in the amount required cause changes in price levels. The formula for calculating the demand curve for a product yields the graph of an inverse demand curve.

Given demand function: q = 100 - 2p.

To find the inverse demand function, we find the inverse of the equation, by isolating p, to get:

q = 100 - 2p,

or, 2p = 100 - q,

or, p = 100/2 - q/2,

or, p = 50 - q/2.

Thus, the inverse demand function of the given demand function is <u>p = 50 - q/2</u>.
