Answer:

150 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the total amount of people at the talent show x. Since 3/6=1/2, we know that half the people are girls, 1/3 are boys. If we added 1/2 and 1/3 we get 5/6, 1-5/6=1/6, so now we know that 1/6 of the people are adults. Because it says "If there were 50 more girls than adults" so from that we can see that 1/2x =1/6x+50. If we were to simplify the equation, we 1/3x=50, so x=150

frozen [14]

Answer:

f(-2) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of doing this is to substitute -2 for x in every place where x shows up:

f(x) = 4x + 3x^2 − 5  →  f(-2) = 4(-2) + 3(-2)^2 − 5  

                                 → f(-2)  = -8    + 3(4) -   5, or f(-2) = 4 - 5, or f(-2) = -1

Which statement is correct for the graph of the specified function?
mash [69]

The correct statement regarding the function plotted in the graph is:

C) The maximum value of the quadratic function occurs at y = 4.

<h3>What is the rate of change of the linear function?</h3>

When x = 0, y = -7, and when x = -5, y = 8, hence the rate of change(change in y divided by change in x) is given by:

R = [8 - (-7)]/-5 - 0 = 15/-5 = -3

<h3>What is the maximum value of the quadratic function?</h3>

It is concave down, hence it has only a maximum value at y = 4 and not a minimum value, hence option C is correct.
