Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

s(20/100)=40

20s=4000

s=200

So there are a total of 200 students.

Answer:

There are 200 middle school students

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this question can be: 40 is 20% of what. This can be simplified to 40 = 0.2x and then to get x by itself you divide 40 by 0.2 which is 200.

Select the correct answer.

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two lines on the graph representing the system of equations.

First line passes through two points (-3, 1) and (-2, 3).

Slope of the line = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{3-1}{-2+3}$

m = 2

Equation of the line passing through (x', y') and slope = m is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Equation of the line passing through (-3, 1) and slope = 2 will be,

y - 1 = 2(x + 3)

y = 2x + 7 ----------(1)

Second line passes through (0, 1) and (-1, 4) and y-intercept 'b' of the line is 1.

Let the equation of this line is,

y = mx + b

Slope 'm' = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{4-1}{-1-0}$

= -3

Here 'b' = 1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = -3x + 1 ---------(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

2x + 7 = -3x + 1

5x = -6

x = $-\frac{6}{5}$

x = $-1\frac{1}{5}$

From equation (1),

y = 2x + 7

y = $-\frac{12}{5}+7$

= $\frac{-12+35}{5}$

= $\frac{23}{5}$

= $4\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, exact solution of the system of equations is $(-1\frac{1}{5},4\frac{3}{5})$ .

Option (B) will be the answer.

The function h(t) = -16t^2 + 16t represents the height (in feet) of a horse (t) seconds after it jumps during a steeplechase.

Vladimir79 [104]

A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.

h'(t) = -32t + 16

When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.

-32t + 16 = 0

-32t = -16

t = 0.5 seconds

b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.

h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet

If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.

c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0.

-16t^2 + 16t = 0

-16t(t-1)=0

t = 0 and 1

So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.
