A small college has 1200 students and 80 professors. The college is planning to increase enrollment to 1450 students next year.

The ratio of the students to the professors is 1200:80 = 30:2 = 15.
- After enrollment the number of students will be 1450.
- So the number of professors after enrollment will become the unknown number, x.

➡️ 1200/80 = 1450/x

➡️ 1200x = 1450 * 80

➡️ 1200x = 116,000

➡️ x = 116,000/1200

➡️ x= 96.67

What is the smallest odd number with four different prime factors?
nevsk [136]
Obviously the smallest odd number we are looking for will have the SMALLEST four prime factors. 

The smallest four prime numbers are 2,3,5,7. The lowest multiple of this is 2*3*5*7 = 210 But this is an even number! 

So let's remove 2, and use the next prime number: 3,5,7,11. The lowest multiple of these is 3*5*7*11 = 1155.

PLEASE HELP<br> Solve. x^2+9x+2=0
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using completing the square method

x²+9x+2=0

x²+9x = -2   (complete the square by adding (9/2)² to both sides)

x²+9x + (9/2)² = -2 + (9/2)²

( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (9/2)²

( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (81/4)

( x + (9/2) )² = 73/4

x + (9/2)  = ± √(73/4)

x + (9/2)  = ± √(73) / 2

x = -(9/2) ± √(73) / 2  (factorize out (1/2) )

x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!!!
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

we have, 1953125=5⁹, so it cannot be a perfect square. If the last digit of a given number is 5, then the last three digits must be perfect squares, 025 or 225 or 625. Otherwise, that number cannot be a perfect square. And as 125 is not a perfect square, so no number ending with 125 can be a perfect square

leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X the time to complete a standardized exam  in the BYU-Idaho Testing Center is approximately normal with a mean of 70 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes.

We have 68 rule as 2/3 of total would lie within 1 std deviation, and 95 rule as nearly 95% lie within 2 std deviations from the mean.

We have std deviation = 10

Hence 2 std deviations from the mean

= Mean ±2 std deviations

=70±20

= (50,90)

Below 50, 0.25 or 2.5% would complete the exam.
