Let number if boys be x

No of girls=x+5

ATQ

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x+5}{x}=\dfrac{4}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(x+5)=4x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x+15=4x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x-3x=15$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=15$

<h3>Number of girls</h3>

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x+5=15+5=20$

Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

left limit = 2 ≠ 1/2 = right limit

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is discontinuous if the limit of the function value approaching the point from the left is different than the limit approaching from the right.

Here, the left limit is 2 and the right limit is 1/2. The limits are different, which is why the function is discontinuous at x=-1.

In a group of Explore students, 38 enjoy video games, 12 enjoy going to the movies and 24 enjoy solving mathematical problems. O

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The number of students that like only two of the activities are 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students that enjoy video games, A = 38

Number of students that enjoy going to the movies, B = 12

Number of students that enjoy solving mathematical problems, C = 24

A∩B∩C = 8

Here we have;

n(A∪B∪C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) -n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C)

= 38 + 12 + 24 - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) -n(A∩C) + 8

Also the number of student that like only one activity is found from the following equation;

n(A) - n(A∩B) - n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C) + n(B) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) + n(A∩B∩C) + n(C) - n(C∩B) - n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C) = 30

n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - 2·n(A∩B) - 2·n(A∩C) - 2·n(B∩C) + 3·n(A∩B∩C) = 30

38 + 12 + 24 - 2·n(A∩B) - 2·n(A∩C) - 2·n(B∩C) + 24 = 30

- 2·n(A∩B) - 2·n(A∩C) - 2·n(B∩C) = -68

n(A∩B) + n(B∩C) + n(A∩C) = 34

Therefore, the number of students that like only two of the activities = 34.
