Answer:

25 students take both subjects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for 60% of 300 students:

60/100 = x/300

Cross multiply:

60 × 300 = 100 × x

18000 = 100x

Divide both sides by 100:

180 = x

Solve for 20% of 300 students:

20/100 = x/300

20 × 300 = 100 × x

6000 = 100x

60 = x

Solve for the percentage of students in chemistry:

x/100 = 35/300

x × 300 = 100 × 35

300x = 3500

x = 11.66666...7

x = about 11.7%

Find the difference in percentages:

100 - 60 - 20 - 11.7

8.3

8.3% take both subjects

Solve for 8.3% of students:

8.3/100 = x/300

8.3 × 300 = 100 × x

2490 = 100x

24.9

About 25 students

Check your work by adding all the students together (to get to 300):

25 + 60 + 180 + 35

300 students total

This is correct!

What is the quadratic in vertex form that has an a value of 8 and a vertex of (5, 6)?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y= 8(x-5)² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabolas have two equation forms, namely; the standard and vertex form.

In the vertex form, y = a(x - h)² + k, the variables h and k are the coordinates of the parabola's vertex.

In this case; a=8, h =5, and k=6

Therefore;

The vertex equation will be

y= 8(x-5)² + 6

The spring has a stiffness k=200n/m and is unstretched when the 25 kg block is at
g100num [7]
To solve this we are going to use the formula fro the force applied to a spring: F=ks
where
k is the spring constant 
s is the extension 

Since we know the F=ma, we can replace that in our formula and solve for a :
ma=ks
a= \frac{ks}{m}
where
a is the acceleration 
k is the spring constant
s is the extension 
m is the mass

We know for our problem that k=200, s=0.4, and m=25. So lets replace those values in our formula to find a:
a= \frac{ks}{m}
a= \frac{(200)(0.4)}{25}
a=3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}

We can conclude that the acceleration of the block when s=0.4m is 3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}.

mixer [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

-  \frac{5}{3}  \times  \frac{1}{8}  =  -  \frac{5}{24}  \\  \\

2.)

-  \frac{5}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{12}  =   - \frac{5}{24}  \\

3.)

-  \frac{1}{6}  \times  \frac{5}{4}  =  -  \frac{5}{24}  \\
