1 answer:
Let,
- Number of boys be 3x
- Number of girls be 2x
- Then, Total number of students = 3x + 2x = 5x
It is given that,
➙ Number of girls = 420
Then,
➙ 2x = 420
➙ x = 420/2 = 210
No. of boys = 3x = 630
Then,
➙ Number of students = 5x
➙ Number of students = 5(210)
➙ Number of students = 1050
- ANSWER - 1050

The given function is a quadratic equation. Any quadratic equation can be written in the form :
The given points can be taken as (2,23) ,(4,55) and(10,247)
We form three equations with the given points
For point (2,23 ) the equation is
23 = 4a + 2b + c
For point (4,55) the equation is
55 = 16a + 4b + c
For point (10,247) the equation is:
247 = 100a+10b+c.
Solving the three equations for a,b,c we have :
32 = 12a + 2b
16 = 6a + b
and,
192 = 84 a + 6b
32 = 14a + b
Solving for a,b,c we have:
a=2 b=4 c=7
The quadratic equation is c(x)=
When x=8
c(x)=]
