A ratio of 3:4 means that for every 3 boys there are 4 girls and vice versa.

12 girls / 4 girls = 3

3 boys * 3 = 9 boys

There are 9 boys in the class.

9 boys + 12 girls = 21 total students

Suppose Department X is 8,000 square feet, Department Y is 5,000 square feet, and Department Z is 6,000 square feet. What's the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

31.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that

Area of Department X = 8,000  square feet

Area of Department Y = 5,000 square feet

Area of Department Z = 6,000 square feet

now the total area = 8000+5000+6000

                               =19,000 square feet

Percentage of area covered by Department Z = \frac{area of Department Z}{total area }100%

                                               =\frac{6000}{19000} 100 %

                                                 =31.6 %

percentage of overhead expenses applied to Department Z = percentage of area covered by Department Z

hence we have,

percentage of overhead expenses applied to Department Z  = 31.6%

In the school store, pencils cost 15 cents each and erasers cost 10 cents each. There is no tax. Gabby wants to spend exactly $2
kakasveta [241]

she bought 10 pencils and 5 erasers

Let x represent the number of pencils and y represent the number of erasers.

Gabby wants to spend exactly $2.00 on pencils and erasers, hence:

0.15x - 0.1y = 2        (1)

Therefore x = 10 and y = 5

Therefore she bought 10 pencils and 5 erasers.

What is the possible number of positive and negative real roots or zeroes in f(x)=x^3+x^2-4
Tanya [424]

This is a third degree polynomial, so we know that the maximum amount of roots will be 3.

We also know that imaginary roots come in pairs, so there is either 0 or 2 imaginary roots.

We can tell the amount of positive / negative roots by applying Descartes' rule of signs.

Let's examine the polynomial: x^3 + x^2 - 4

Note the sign changes.

From left to right, there is one sign change.

We now know there is only one positive real root.

Now, we can replace all values of x with -1 and then simplify. The number of sign changes will tell us the amount of negative roots.

(-1)^3 + (-1)^2 - 4

-1 + 1 - 4

From left to right, there are two sign changes, which tells us there will be 2 or 0 negative roots.

If there are 2, they are not imaginary.

If there are 0, they are imaginary.

<h3>So, our guaranteed root is:</h3><h3>1 positive, real root.</h3><h3>And our possible roots are:</h3><h3>2 negative, real roots.</h3><h3>0 negative, real roots, but 2 imaginary roots.</h3>
