Answer:

n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 40 people, half are women, so there are 20 women.

There are 5 times as many women as men, so 20/5 = 4 are men.

The remainder are children, so there are 20-4 = 16 children.

The ratio of children to men is ...

children : men = 16 : 4 = 4 : 1 = n : 1 . . . . . . . . remove a factor of 4 from 16:4

The value of n is 4.

What is the equation of this line?<br><br>A: y=-3/2x<br>B: y=2/3x<br>C: y=-2/3x <br>D: y=3/2x

Answer:

b) y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

I will be using (3,2) and (-3,-2) to find the slope:

$m=\frac{-2-2}{-3-3}\\m=\frac{-4}{-6} \\m = \frac{2}{3}$

$y = mx + b\\y = \frac{2}{3}x+b$

(3,2)

$y = \frac{2}{3}x+b\\\\2 = \frac{2}{3}(3)+b\\\\2 = 2+b\\-2 -2\\\\0=b$

$y=mx+b\\\\y = \frac{2}{3}x+0\\\\y = \frac{2}{3}x$

Hope this helps!

If h(x) = 3 + 2f(x) , where f(1) = 3 and f '(1) = 4, find h'(1).

Leviafan [203]

H'(x) = 2f'(x)

h'(1) = 2*f'(1) = 2*4
h'(1) = 8
