Answer:

150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys enrolled in 2012 be x

Let the number of girls enrolled in 2012 be x + 200

Ratio of boys to girls in 2012 enrollment = 3/7

Now;

3/7 = x/x + 200

7x = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150 boys

Hence, 150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Determine the zeroes of the polynomial
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

3,7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

(\sqrt{x^2-4x+3} )+(\sqrt{x^{2} -9} )-(\sqrt{4x^2-14x+6} )\\=(\sqrt{x^2-x-3x+3} )+(\sqrt{(x^2-3^2})-(\sqrt{4x^2-2x-12x+6})\\ =(\sqrt{x(x-1)-3(x-1)} )+\sqrt{(x+3)(x-3)}-\sqrt{2x(2x-1)-6(2x-1)}  \\=\sqrt{(x-1)(x-3)}+\sqrt{(x+3)(x-3)}  -\sqrt{2(2x-1)(x-3)} \\=\sqrt{x-3} (\sqrt{x-1} +\sqrt{x+3} -\sqrt{2(2x-1)} )\\

\sqrt{x-3} =0~gives~x=3\\or~\sqrt{x-1} +\sqrt{x+3} -\sqrt{2(2x-1)} =0\\or~ \sqrt{x-1} +\sqrt{x+3} =\sqrt{2(2x-1)} \\squaring\\x-1+x+3+2\sqrt{x-1} \sqrt{x+3} =2(2x-1)\\2x+2+2\sqrt{(x-1)(x+3)} =4x-2\\2\sqrt{x^2-x+3x-3} =2x-4\\\sqrt{x^2+2x-3} =x-2\\again ~squaring\\x^2+2x-3=x^2-4x+4\\\\2x+4x=4+3\\6x=7\\x=\frac{7}{6}
