Total number of people is 55

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x

⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x

⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x

⇒ 3x = 33

⇒ x = 11

Step 2:

Find total number of people.

33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55

Answer:

There are 55 people altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, there are 33 more boys than girls. So let's make girls = x as it is an unknown value:

boys = 33 + x

As we know that the ratio is 4:1 so, we can make it as:

4x : x

Given that the the ratio of boys is 4x and the value is 33+x. Now, we can compare it :

4x = 33 + x

4x - x = 33

3x = 33

x = 11

Next, we can add up all the people:

boys=>

4x = 4 × 11

= 44 boys

girls=>

x = 11 girls

altogether=>

44 + 11 = 55 people

(Correct me if I am wrong)

Using derivatives, it is found that the x-values in which the slope belong to the interval (-1,1) are in the following interval:

(-15,-10).

<h3>What is the slope of the tangent line to a function f(x) at point x = x0?</h3>

It is given by the derivative at x = x0, that is:

m = f^{\prime}(x_0).

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = 0.2x^2 + 5x - 12

Hence the derivative is:

f^{\prime}(x) = 0.4x + 5

For a slope of -1, we have that:

0.4x + 5 = -1

0.4x = -6

x = -15.

For a slope of 1, we have that:

0.4x + 5 = 1.

0.4x = -4

x = -10

Hence the interval is:

(-15,-10).

What is the equation of a line with a slope of ​ ​ −4−4 ​ ​ and a point ​ (−2,5) ​
Darya [45]
Here, we can formulate the slope-intercept equation from the point and the slope:

Slope = -4/-4 = 1
x1 = -2
y1 = 5

By point-slope form:

(y-y1)  = m (x - x1)
(y-5) = 1(x +2)

y-5 = x +2

Simplifying to slope-intercept form:

y = x + 7

Therefore, the slope-intercept form would be y = x+7

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
