A physical education teacher plans to divide the seventh graders at Wilson Middle School into teams of equal size of year-ending

mock Olympic event. He wants each team to have between 5 and 9 students, and has a strong preference to have the same number of students on each team. The seventh grade at Wilson consists of three classes, one with 24 stu- dents, one with 26, and one with 21. How many students should be on each team?

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total number of students are: 24+26+21=71

He wants each team will have the same number of students between 5 and 9.

The number between 5 to 9 are 6, 7 and 8.

The number 71 is a prime number so we need to divide the 71 students in group so that minimum students left without team.

Dividing 6 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{6} = 11 teams and 5 students.

Dividing 7 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{7} = 10 teams and 1 students.

Dividing 8 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{8} = 8 teams and 7 students.

Thus, we can not divide 71 students into equal teams, but 70 divided by 7 gives the least students left out i.e 10 teams each with 7 students and only 1 student will remain at last.

X + 17 is greater than or equal to -3 . Select the correct solution set
alisha [4.7K]

x + 17 ≥ -3

Isolate the x. Subtract 17 from both sides

x + 17 (-17) ≥ - 3 (-17)

x ≥ -3 - 17

x ≥ -20

5STARS/BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER
Natalija [7]
Your answer is the second option, -3, -6, -12, etc.

The information we are given tells us that a1 = -3 and an = 2 × a(n - 1). This means that if we want to find the value of a2, we just need to substitute -3 into the equation:

a2 = 2 × a1 = 2 × -3 = -6

And then to find a3, we substitute in a2, which in this case is -6, so:

a3 = 2 × a2 = 2 × -6 = -12

The only option with the first 3 terms as -3, -6, -12 is the second option, so that is the answer.

Marketing Chapter 3 Test Questions
butalik [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) The average nightly ticket sales can be calculated as

Average sales = Average no. of customers per night x Charge per ticket

For the second night, we have

$1750 = (N)($7)

This gives us N = 250.

So, the average number of customers decreased as a result of the price increase.

To calculate the percentage change, we use the following formula:

% change = \frac{250 -300}{300} X 100

We have -17% change in the average number of customers the theater has each night. The negative sign indicates a decrease in the number, which is consistent with our calculations.

2.) % change in prices = \frac{Final price - Initial price}{Initial price} X100

Therefore, we have 40% change in the cost of ticket per person, which reflects an increase in the prices.

3.) Elasticity of Demand = \frac{ percentage change in quantity demanded}{percentage change in price}

Hence, we have \frac{-17}{40} = -0.425

This stands consistent with the Law of Demand - as the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases.

4.) Market price is obtained by looking for a point where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. From the table we see that at $75 price, there is a demand for 45,000 units of that product in that market, which the suppliers are willing to supply. Hence, that defines the market price for that product.

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 0 = –3x2 – 4x + 5? Quadratic formula: x = StartFracti
weqwewe [10]

The solutions of the quadratic equation 0 = -3x² - 4x + 5 are

x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{19}}{3}  and  x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{19}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, is

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

To find the solution of the quadratic equation by using quadratic formula

  • Find the values of a, b, and c from the quadratic equation
  • Substitute these values in the quadratic formula
  • Calculate the values of x

∵ -3x² - 4x + 5 = 0

∴ a = -3 , b = -4 and c = 5

- Substitute these values in the quadratic formula

∵ x=\frac{-(-4)+\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-3)(5)}}{2(-3)}

∴ x=\frac{4+\sqrt{16+60}}{-6}

∴ x=\frac{4+2\sqrt{19}}{-6}

- Simplify by dividing up and down by -2

∴ x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{19}}{3}

∵ x=\frac{-(-4)-\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-3)(5)}}{2(-3)}

∴ x=\frac{4-\sqrt{16+60}}{-6}

∴ x=\frac{4-2\sqrt{19}}{-6}

- Simplify by dividing up and down by -2

∴ x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{19}}{3}

The solutions of the quadratic equation 0 = -3x² - 4x + 5 are

x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{19}}{3}  and x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{19}}{3}
