There are 27 girls and 36 boys who want to participate in a math competition. If each team must have the same ratio of girls and

boys what’s the greatest number of teams that can enter?

Since the ratio of girls and boys must be the same in each team, and all the competitors must be involved, it means that each team's ratio of boys : girls must be equal to the total ratio of Boys : Girls = 36 :27= 4 / 3.

Now 4 / 3, the most simplified version of 36 / 27, happens by dividing the numerator & demoninator by 9 (the greatest number it can divide by). So the greatest number will be 9 teams, each of  4 Boys & 3 Girls

Find 2 consecutive odd integers sum of who's square is 290​ pls send fast
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<h3>Hence required integers are 11 and 13</h3>

Let x an odd positive integer

Then, according to question

x^2 +(x+2)^2=290

2x^2 +4x−286=0

x^2 +2x−143=0

x ^2+13x−11x−143=0

(x+13)(x−11)=0

x=11 as x is positive

Hence required integers are 11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it is helpful....

At 2:00 PM a car's speedometer reads 30 mi/h. At 2:10 PM it reads 50 mi/h. Show that at some time between 2:00 and 2:10 the acce
Daniel [21]

Answer: If we define 2:00pm as our 0 in time; then:

at t= 0. the velocity is 30 mi/h.

then at t = 10m (or 1/6 hours) the velocity is 50mi/h

Then, if we think in the "mean acceleration" as the slope between the two velocities, we can find the slope as:

a= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (50 mi/h - 30 mi/h)/(1/6h - 0h) = 20*6mi/(h*h) = 120mi/h^{2}

Now, this is the slope of the mean acceleration between t= 0h and t = 1/6h, then we can use the mean value theorem; who says that if F is a differentiable function on the interval (a,b), then exist at least one point c between a and b where F'(c) = (F(b) - F(a))/(b - a)

So if v is differentiable, then there is a time T between 0h and 1/6h where v(T) = 120mi/h^{2}

Is height over time that a football is thrown across the field an exponential function
xxTIMURxx [149]
No if it was, the football would keep going up forever and keep going up faster as it was released
physics and common sense tells us that there is air resistance to slow the rise of the football

not exponential
