The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 7:2. If there are 60 more boys than girls, work out how many girls there are.

Mathematics
1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, kids are divided into 8 total parts.

7 - 1 = 6 more parts that are boys. The 48 extra boys are those 6 parts.

48/6 = 8 boys per part

All parts have the equal number of kids, so one part girls also has 8.

There are 8 girls (and 56 boys. 8:56 = 1:7).

Explain the steps necessary to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example to illustrate the method:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 10

First divide the first 2 terms by the coefficient of x^2 , which is 3:

= 3(x^2 - 2x) + 10

Now  divide the -2 ( in -2x) by 2 and write the x^2 - 2x in the form

(x - b/2)^2 - b/2)^2  (where b = 2) , which will be equal to x^2 - 2x in a different form.

= 3[ (x - 1)^2 - 1^2 ] + 10 (Note: we have to subtract the 1^2 because (x - 1)^2 = x^2 - 2x  + 1^2  and we have to make it equal to x^2 - 2x)

= 3 [(x - 1)^2 -1 ] + 10

= 3(x - 1)^2 - 3 + 10

= <u>3(x - 1)^2 + 7 </u><------- Vertex form.

In general form the vertex form of:

ax^2 + bx + c  = a [(x - b/2a)^2 - (b/2a)^2] + c .

This is not easy to commit to memory so I suggest the best way to do these conversions is to remember the general method.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to 24x-9y=63
Gelneren [198K]
In order to find the slop it is probably best to put the equation in y=mx+b form. This means to get y by itself on one side. 
24x-9y=63 will then become -9y=63-24x in which y has been isolated.
Then you should divided by -9 to get the final form: y=24x/9 -63/9.
 Now you can get the slope of the perpendicular line by taking the slope of the original equation and finding its reciprocal which is -9/24x. This is your answer.
