Answer:

<em>Here is the complete question:</em>

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ $c+d=270$ ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}$

⇒ $4c=5d$

⇒ $c=(\frac{5}{4})d$ ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ $c+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5}{4} d+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5d+4d}{4} =270$

⇒ $9d=270\times 4$

⇒ $d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}$

⇒ $d=120$

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

a.

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 150$

⇒ $\frac{4\times 150}{5}$

⇒ $120$

Statement is true.

b.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 270$

⇒ $216$

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

c.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ $c-d =30$

⇒ $150-120=30$

Statement is true.

d.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

e.

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ $\frac{5}{9} \times 270$

⇒ $150$

Statement is true.

So,

Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.

Part 1

svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!
