Answer:

8 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a ratio problem.

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3

Since you know how many girls their are you plug it in

2:x

3:12

Basically you see how you get from 3 to 12 and the answer is to multiply by 4

Since it is a ratio problem you also multiply the 2 by 4

Your answer is 8 boys

The line x = k intersects the graph of the parabola x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5 at exactly one point. What is k? Thank you! :)
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help quick

It is C, because the x values between the first dot and the second is 4. So you multiply the slope 4 times on the y value. The y value changes from -2 to -5, so -2 + 4*-3/4 should be equal to -5
