the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:4 there are 36 students in the class how many students are girls

Alina [70]

First add up the total parts in the ratio.
5 + 4 = 9
Now we need to know the value of each part
36 / 9 = 4
The girls has total of 4 parts, therefore we can just multiply the number of parts by the amount in each part
4 x 4 = 16
So there r 16 girls in the class

A cube has a volume of 0.215ft³. What is te length of each side of the cube?

enyata [817]

Answer:

length ≈ 0.599 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = length³

0.215ft³ = length³

cube root both sides to isolate the length

∛(0.215ft³) = length

length ≈ 0.599 feet

Find a and b so that f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b will have a critical point at (2,3).

Digiron [165]

Using the critical point concept, it is found that a = -3 and b = 7.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>

The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

In this problem, the function is:

$f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b$

Hence, the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 3x^2 + 2ax$

Then:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

$3x^2 + 2ax = 0$

$x(3x + 2a) = 0$

$x = 0$

$3x + 2a = 0$

$3x = -2a$

$x = -\frac{2a}{3}$

Since the critical point is at x = 2, we have that:

$-\frac{2a}{3} = 2$

$-2a = 6$

$2a = -6$

$a = -3$

Then:

$f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + b$

Critical point at (2,3) means that when $x = 2, y = 3$ , then:

$3 = 2^3 - 3(2)^2 + b$

$8 - 12 + b = 3$

$b = 7$
