Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given function is,

g(x) = x² + bx + 11

If a point (x, y) lies on the graph of this function, coordinates of the given point will satisfy the equation of the function.

If a point (1, 8) lies on the graph of the given function,

g(-1) = (-1)² + b(-1) + 11 = 8

1 - b + 11 = 8

12 - b = 8

b = 12 - 8

b = 4

Therefore, b = 4 will be the value of b.

The ratio of the number of dogs the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue Farm. The number of dogs is 4/5.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<em>Here is the complete question:</em>

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ $c+d=270$ ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}$

⇒ $4c=5d$

⇒ $c=(\frac{5}{4})d$ ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ $c+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5}{4} d+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5d+4d}{4} =270$

⇒ $9d=270\times 4$

⇒ $d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}$

⇒ $d=120$

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 150$

⇒ $\frac{4\times 150}{5}$

⇒ $120$

Statement is true.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 270$

⇒ $216$

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ $c-d =30$

⇒ $150-120=30$

Statement is true.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ $\frac{5}{9} \times 270$

⇒ $150$

Statement is true.

So,

Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.
