In the 75th Congress (1937−1939) there were in the Senate 75 Democrats, 17 Republicans, and 4 members of other parties. Suppose

that a bill passed the Senate with 16 more votes in favor than against, with three times as many Democrats voting in favor as non-Democrats voting in favor, and 30 more Democrats voting in favor than Republicans voting in favor. If every member voted either for the bill or against it, how many Democrats, how many Republicans, and how many members of other parties voted in favor of the bill?
Democrats members
Republicans members
other parties members

Answer:

42 Democrats members

12 Republicans members

2 other parties members

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are a total number of voters of

  • 75 (democrats)+17 (Republicans)+ 4( Other parties)=  96 voters

And we know that the bill has passed with 16 nore votes in favor that against, so let's calculate how many votes in favor of the bill we have:

  • 96 Votes = F (votes in Favor)+ A (votes against)

also: F= A+16= A = F-16, so:

  • 96= F+A= F+F-16 => F= 56 votes in favor of the bill

Thos 56 votes are the sum of the votes in favor from all the parties:

56 = D (votes in favor of democrats)+R ((votes in favor of Republicans)+OTH (votes in favor of other parties)

=> 56= D+R+OTH (A)

also democrat's votes in favor are three times the sum of non-democrat's votes in favor:

  • D= 3*( R+OTH) => OTH= D/3-R

and we have 30 more democrats thar republicans voting in favor:

  • D= R+30 => R=D-30

if we replace in the (A) formula:

56 = D+R+OTH => 56= D+D-30+D/3-D+30 =>

  • 56=4/3*D => D=42 (DEMOCRATS VOTES IN FAVOR)
  • R= D-30 => R= 12 (REPUBLICAN VOTES IN FAVOR)
  • OTH= D/3-R= 14-12= 2 (OTHER PARTIE'S VOTES IN FAVOR)

Someone please help I don’t understand what this even is.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

A and D are not polynomials. B and C are polynomials

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out what function is a polynomial, you have to understand what a polynomial is. A polynomial is a sum of monomials that make up a polynomial expression. A mononomial is a real number, with a variable, and a exponent of a variable that makes up one term. For example 3x^{2} is a monomial. It has a real number, a variable, and a exponent that makes up one term. A polynomial has one or more monomial terms that make it a polynomial. So firstly, a polynomial by definition cannot have a negative exponent. That eliminates D. Why?  because by definition, the standard form of a polynomial function states that n cannot be positive, it has to be a nonnegative integer. Also, polynomials can only be real numbers. It cannot have a nonreal number. Radical forms without a perfect square are nonreal numbers. So that eliminates A. However, B and C can be polynomials because the definition of polynomials say that real numbers, nonnegative exponents, and constants can be part of a polynomial function. Even with the fraction, that would be part of rational expressions (polynomial/polynomial), which is polynomials. I hope this helps friend. Math can be tough to explain just as much as doing it :)

A linear function that represents the number of animals adopted from the shelter is compared to a different linear function
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two lines only can intersect if the lines are not parallel.

And given a linear equation:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept, the general equation for a parallel line to this one is:

y = a*x + c

with the condition:

b ≠ c

So we need to have the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Then when we compare the linear function that represents the number of animals adopted with the linear function that represents the hours volunteers work at the shelter, you need to look if both equations have a different slope or not.

Let's describe the two cases:

If the lines have the same slope, then you need to see the y-intercept.

If the y-intercept is different, then the lines never do intersect.

If the y-intercept is equal, then both equations describe the same line (as both have the same slope and the same y-intercept).

If the lines have different slope, then we can conclude that the lines are not parallel, and the lines will intersect at some point.

The vertex of this parabola is at (2.-3). When the yvalue is -2, the xvalue is 5. What is the coefficient of the squared term in
tatiyna

Answer:

The coefficient of squared term is 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of parabola is (2.-3)

We know the vertex form of a standard parabola

y=a(x-h)^2+k,\text{ where (h,k) is vertex}

Plugging values of h and k, h= 2, k = -3

y=a(x-2)^2-3

Now, x=5, y=-2

-2=a(5-2)^2-3

-2=9a-3

9a=1

a=\frac{1}{9}

Thus, the coefficient of squared term is 1/9
