Answer:

16 students got an A

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation to compare the ratio to the scores:

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{40}

Cross multiply:

80 = 5x

Divide each side by 5:

x = 16

Now, check if \frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5}

16/8 = 2

40/8 = 5

The ratios are the same! Therefore, 16 students got an A!

Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions :)

Total- no- of- students = 56\\A -students = Total- no- of- students - B-students\\A - students = 56 - 40\\A students = 16Answer:

A Students = 16 students

Step-by-step explanation:

A :B\\2 :5\\ No- of -A -students =?\\No- of -B -students = 40\\2+5 =7\\\frac{5}{7} *x = 40\\\frac{5x}{7} =40\\Cross - multiply\\280 = 5x\\Divide-both-sides-of-the-equation -by 5\\\\\frac{280}{5}  =   \frac{5x}{5} \\x = 56

Y= -3x^2-24x-46 write in vertex form
mario62 [17]

ANSWER

y= -3{(x + 4)}^{2}  + 2

EXPLANATION

The given function is:

y= -3x^2-24x-46

Factor -3 for the first 2 terms.

y= -3(x^2 + 8x)-46

We add and subtract the square of the coefficient of x.

y= -3(x^2 + 8x +  {(4)}^{2} )  - - 3( {4)}^{2} -46

Factor the perfect square trinomial.

y= -3 {(x + 4)}^{2} )  + 48 -46

The vertex form is:

y= -3{(x + 4)}^{2}  + 2
