Answer:

21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were five teams entered in a competition, and each team consisted of either only boys or only girls, with the number of team members being 9, 15, 17, 19 and 21 members, if after one team of girls had been knocked out of the competition, the number of girls still competing was three times the number of boys, to determine how many girls were in the team that was eliminated, the following calculation must be performed:

9 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 60/4 = 15

9 + 15 + 17 + 21 = 62/4 = 15.5

9 + 15 + 19 + 21 = 64/4 = 16

9 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 66/4 = 16.5

15 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 72/4 = 18

Thus, since 15 x 3 equals 45, and 45 plus 15 equals 60, the number of girls on the team that was eliminated was 21.

If f(x)=-2x^2+5x-3 and g(x) is the reflection of f(x) across the y-axis, then an equation of g is which of the following
Ymorist [56]

To reflect a function across the y-axis you have to change

x\mapsto -x

So, the function becomes

f(x)=-2x^2+5x-3 \mapsto f(-x)=-2(-x)^2+5(-x)-3=-2x^2-5-3

While traveling to Europe, Phelan exchanged 250 US dollars for euros. He spent 150 euros on his trip. After returning to the Uni
Anettt [7]
Since the exchange rate of euro to USD right now is 1:1.11, therefore he spent 150x1.11=166.5 USD. Therefore, he has 250-166.5=83.5 USD left(assuming the exchange rate is the same, 1.17).

Marina86 [1]
Dénote l the vertical leap, then the given equation can be written like this:
l(t)=4t^2\\\text{Since one inch equate 0.0833333 feet then 44 inches equate  }\\44\times 0.0833333=3.6feet\\\text{Add to 33 feet like this:}\\33+3.6=36.6feet\\\text{Now we have to solve the equation:}\\4t^2=36.6\\\text{Divide over 4 we get:}\\t^2= \frac{36.6}{4}=9.15\\\text{Take the square root we get:}\\t=\sqrt{9.15}=3

The hang time equates then 3 seconds
