Suppose 12% of the students chose to study French their freshman year, and that meant that there were 21 such students. How many

Answer:

154 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the total number of students .

This can be gotten by

12% of A = 21

Where A represents the total number of students.

12% represents the % of A that chose to study French and 21 is the number of students that studied French .

Therefore,

12% /100% x A = 21

0.12 x A = 21

Divide both sides by 0.12

0.12/0.12 x A = 21/0.12

A = 175

The total number of students is 175.

If 21 chose to study French their freshman year ,number of students that chose not to will be total number of students minus number of those who chose to study French.

That’s

175 - 21

= 154

154 students chose not to study French their freshman year

Write an equation for each linear function described. Show your work. The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1),
svp [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

As

  • The graph of the function passes through the point (2,1), and
  • y increases by 4 when x increases by 1.

so

x             y

2             1

3             5

4             9

5             13

6             17

and so on

From the table:

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:5\right)

m=\frac{5-1}{3-2}

m=4

As the slope-intercept form of the line is

y=mx+b

putting m=4 and any point, let say (2, 1) to find y-intercept 'b'.

1=\left(4\right)2+b

8+b=1

8+b-8=1-8

b=-7

So putting b=-7 and m=4  in the slope-intercept form of the line

y=\left(4\right)x+\left(-7\right)

y=4x-7

Therefore, the equation for the linear function will be:

y=4x-7

Step by step plz <br> 2x^2 + x - 3
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

x = 1 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 + x - 3 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x - 1) (2 x + 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

x - 1 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 1 or 2 x = -3

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer: x = 1 or x = -3/2
