Answer:

a) 35,  b) 25,  c) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.

Number of boys:  b

Number of girls:  b + 10

Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so

\frac{b+10}{b}=\frac{7}{5}

"Cross multiply" to get

7b=5(b+10)\\7b=5b+50\\2b=50\\b=25

There are 25 boys.  There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.

That's a packed classroom!

I need to know the answer

Answer: f(x)=-(x-5)^{2}(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a double root at x=5 and a single root at x=-2, so we know f(x) is of the form f(x)=a(x-5)^{2}(x+2) for some constant a.

To find a, we can substitute the coordinates of the y-intercept, (0, -50).

-50=a(0-5)^{2}(0+2)\\\\-50=50a\\\\a=-1

So, f(x)=-(x-5)^{2}(x+2)
