Ratio of the number of students in art class to the number of students in gym class was 2:7, however art class is small, and gym

class is large, students changed for the second semester. Now the students in art class to the number students in gym class is 5:4. If 75 students are in art class in second semester, how many were in art class and gym class first semester?

Semester 1:

let the number of students in the art class be 2a, and the number of the students in the gym class be 7a. (check: the ratio is 2a:7a = 2:7)

so the total number of students is 9a.


semester 2:

the 9a students are go to the art class and gym class at a a ratio of 5: 4, 

so 5a students go to the art class, and 4a students go to the gym class.



<span>75 students are in art class in second semester means that 5a=75, 

so a=75/5=15.


In the 1st semester the number of students was: 

art class: 2a=2*15=30

gym class: 7a=7*15=105

Solve 3x2 + 4x = 2. TEACH me how to solve this.. I know what to do once I have it in the right forum... but I do not understand
sertanlavr [38]
So if it is 3x^2+4x=2 then
set one side to zero
subtract 2 from both sides
3x^2+4x-2=0
this is not factorable by normal means so use quadratic formula which is if you have the equation in ax^2+bx+c=0 form you can solve for x if you put it into this equation quadratic formula x=\frac{-b+ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} or  \frac{-b- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} so if you were to input it into this equation you would get
a=3
b=4
c=-2

the solution is x= \frac{-2+ \sqrt{10} }{3} or \frac{-2- \sqrt{10} }{3}
the answer is  C

I think he is not correct because there is negative number so it can't be greater than one

allsm [11]

Answer:

7s²7p⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

Livermorium is located in the seventh period and sixteenth column of the periodic table. The noble gas configuration for livermorium is [Rn]7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7p⁴. The valence electrons are the ones in the orbitals with the highest quantum number (coefficient). Remember, there can be up to 8 valence electrons at one time. Therefore, the valence electron configuration is 7s²7p⁴.

Express the function f(x) =3x^2-6x-18 in the form a(x + h)^2=k, where a, h and k are constants.Hence state the :
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1
