Answer: 28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of being a girl is 4/7 which means that the probability of being a boy is 3/7 as the fractions must add up to 1.

Assuming the number of people in class is x then the following expression can be used to solve for it;

\frac{3}{7} x = 12\\\\3x = 12 * 7\\\\x = \frac{12 * 7 }{3} \\\\x = 28

Using the given table of an exponential function, determine the growth/decay factor as well as the rate of increase/decrease. Ty
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The growth rate is 0.6

The growth factor is 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, the exponential equation can be written as;

y = a(1 + r)^x

Where a is the initial value of 100

r is the growth rate

So let us form equations;

160 = 100(1 + r)^1 •••••(i)

Also;

256 = 100(1 + r)^2 •••••••(ii)

Divide equation ii by i

256/160 = 1 + r

1.6 = 1 + r

r = 1.6-1

r = 0.6

X +y=5, 3x-2y+5=0, this is the question​
Neko [114]

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

3x-2y+5=0

3x-2y= -5

x+y=5...... equation 1

3x-2y= -5....... equation 2

there fore make x the subject of the formula in equation 1

x=5-y.. equation 3

substitute equation three in equation 2

3(5-y)-2y=-5

15y-3y-2y=-5

10y=-5

divide both sides by 10

y=-5/10

y=-½

substitute y into equation 1

x+(-½)=5

x=5+½

x=5½

x=5½,y= -½

Which of the following is a function?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

A function only exists if each x-value has only one possible y-value.

C is the only function because each x-value has only one y-value.

The other answer choices have x-values that have multiple y-values. In answer choice A, it has (2,9) and (2,8). In answer choice B, the set has (1, 0) and (1,2). And in answer D, it has (1,3) and (1,2)

Hello,

A(n)=6+(n+1)^(-2)=6+1/(n+1)²

A_{4} =6+ \dfrac{1}{(4+1)^2} =6+ \dfrac{1}{25}= \dfrac{151}{25} \\

 A_{6} =6+ \dfrac{1}{(6+1)^2} =6+ \dfrac{1}{49}= \dfrac{295}{49} \\

 A_{13} =6+ \dfrac{1}{(13+1)^2} =6+ \dfrac{1}{196}= \dfrac{1177}{196} \\
