I'm not sure about the given data but I plotted the scatter plot based on what I understand on how the data should be presented.
Time (years)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Number of participants(x1000)
22, 25, 28, 14, 17, 20,15, 9
Attached is the scatter plot created online.
x = time (years)
y = number of participants
X-intercepts are points where the graph intersects the x-axis, i.e. when y=0.
Substitute y=0 and solve for x:
y=x^2-3x+2
0=x^2-3x+2
0=(x-2)(x-1)
By the zero product property, we deduce x-2=0 or x-1=0, i.e. x=1 or x=2.
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b=c
a=girls
b= boys
c= total
the statement tell us:
4/5 of a class is girls:
a=(4/5)*c
boys=b=8
c=a+b
so we have:
c=(4/5)*c + 8
c-(4/5)*c=8
(5c-4c)/5 = 8
c/5=8
c=8*5
c=40
total=40
Well, to find the perimeter we have to add all of the side lengths, so let's do that:
2x+3 +2x+3 +2x
And we know that this equals 36 so let's solve for x
2x+3+2x+3+2x = 36
6x+6 = 36
6x = 30
x = 5
So we know know that x = 5.
Now all you have to do is plug in the values of x into the lengths
2(5) + 3
= 10+3
= 13 is the length of two of the sides.
2x
= 2(5)
= 10
And 10 is the length of the last side.
