Let
 x: number of boys in the class.
 y: number of girls in the class.
 We must make a system of two equations with two unknowns to determine the number of boys and girls in the class.
 The system that best represents the problem is
 x + y = 25
 3x + 3y = 75
 Note that the equations are linearly dependent. Therefore, the solution is not unique.
 answer:
 the number of girls and boys is obtained through the system of equations:
  x + y = 25
 3x + 3y = 75
 For this case, the system is linearly dependent. (Therefore, I can only give you the answer as to how the problem is solved and not an exact value).

The force F​ (in pounds) required to push a sofa across a floor varies directly as the weight w​ (in pounds) of the sofa.
djyliett [7]

Answer: F=0.41w


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the force<em> F</em> varies directly as the weight <em>w</em> of the sofa. Then, you can write the following expression:

F=kw

Where <em>k </em>is the constant of proportionality.

2. You know that a person can push a 120​ pound sofa with a force of 50 pounds, then you can calcualte the constant of proportionality as following:

k=\frac{F}{w}=\frac{50lb}{120lb}=0.41

3. Then, the equation is:

F=0.41w

If f(1) = 2 and f(n) = f(n − 1)2 + 3 then find the value of f(3).
blondinia [14]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) is purely based on the previous value of f(n), or f(n-1), so we can start with f(1) and work our way up. We know f(1) = 2, so to find f(2), we plug f(1) into

f(n-1)²+3 to get

f(1)²+3 = 2²+3 = 4+3=7

Thus, f(2) =7. Similarly,

f(3) = f(3-1)²+3 = f(2)² + 3 -= 7² + 3= 52

PLEASE HELP GIVING BRAINLIEST<br> f(n) = n2 + 4n<br><br> g(n) = - 2n - 2<br><br> Find f(n) + g(n)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

(g x h)(n) = -3n(n^2+2n+4) + 2(n^2+2n+4)  

(g x h)(n) = -3n^3-4n^2 -8n + 8

(g x h)(1) = -3n^3-4n^2 -8n + 8 = -3 -4 -8 + 8 = -7

For #3.

Zeros are 3 and -1 (plot them on the x-axis as a point)

Axis of symmetry is halfway between those so it’s: x=1

Vertex is (1, -4)

Y-intercept is (0,-3)

Domain is always all real numbers
Range is y is greater than or equal to -3
