Answer:

There are 4 pigs on the farm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pigs

We are given that the number of chickens is four times the number of pigs.

Number of chickens = 4x

No. of legs of 1 pig = 4

No. of legs of x pigs = 4x

No. of legs of chicken = 2

No. of legs of 4x chicken = 2(4x)=8x

There are a total of 48 legs between the chickens and the pigs

So,4x+8x=48

12x=48

x=\frac{48}{12}

x=4

Hence There are 4 pigs on the farm

The mean of 6 numbers is 8.
shutvik [7]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mean of the numbers is 8

If the ratio is 1:1:2:2:3:3

Suppose the numbers are x, x, 2x, 2x, 3x, 3x

Write the mean of the numbers

\Rightarrow \dfrac{x+x+2x+2x+3x+3x}{6}=8\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{12x}{6}=8\\\\\Rightarrow x=4

So, the numbers are 4, 4, 8,8 ,12,12

As the total numbers are even, median is the sum of the middle values

\Rightarrow \text{Median=}\dfrac{8+8}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Median=}8

Explain how to factor when the leading coefficient is 1.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:  C) Find the factors of c that add up to b.

==============================================

Explanation:

If we want to factor something in the form x^2+bx+c, then we look for two numbers that

  • Multiply to c
  • Add to b

-------------

Let's look at a specific example

Consider factoring x^2+5x+6

We need to find two numbers that...

  • Multiply to c = 6
  • Add to b = 5

Through trial and error, you should find the two numbers to be 3 and 2. This means it factors to (x+3)(x+2). The order of the factors doesn't matter.

You can use the FOIL rule or the box method to expand out (x+3)(x+2). You should get x^2+5x+6 again.

1. y=900(1.27)^x
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The initial value is 900

It is experiencing exponential growth by 27%

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form y=a(b)^x, where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x is the input, such as how many years past a certain date.

Exponential growth is when the multiplier is above 1.00, or above 100%, because b is determined by 1 + r if you have exponential growth, or 1 - r if you have exponential decay. You will never use negatives with exponential decay.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

  29°, 58°, and 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angles opposite are equal, the sides are equal. In order to have three different side lengths, you must have <em>three different angles</em>.
