Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of students in cooking club = x

Number of students in fencing club = 1/5 x

Number of students in chess club = 2(1/5)x

Since, There are 42 more students in the cooking club than in the chess club

Then ;

Number of students in chess club = Number of students in cooking club - 42

2(1/5)x = x - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

(2/5)x - x = - 42

-0.6x = - 42

x = 42 / 0.6

x = 70

Hence, number of students in chess club :

(2/5) * 70 = 28

Solve the equation by completing the square 5x(x+6)=-50
motikmotik
First lets distribute the 5x 
5x^2 + 30x = -50

Lets divide every term by 5 
x^2 + 6x = -10 

To complete the square we have to half the b value, which in this case is 6. Then square it. 
Half of 6 is 3, 3 squared is 9 

Add that to both sides of the equation 
x^2 + 6x + 9 = -1 

Find the binomial squared
(x+3)^2 (If you're wondering how i got that please comment) 

(x+3)^2 = -1 

Take the square root of the equation of both sides
(x+3) = +/- i
x = -3 +/- i
x = -3 - i
and 
x = -3 + i

Answer:\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two upward facing parabolas  with equations

y=6x^2 & y=x^2+2

The two intersect at

6x^2=x^2+2

5x^2=2

x^2=\frac{2}{5}

x=\pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}

area  enclosed by them is given by

A=\int_{-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left [ \left ( x^2+2\right )-\left ( 6x^2\right ) \right ]dx

A=\int_{\sqrt{-\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left ( 2-5x^2\right )dx

A=4\left [ \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} \right ]-\frac{5}{3}\left [ \left ( \frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2}-\left ( -\frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2} \right ]

A=\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}
