Let the number of girls = x

Then, According to the question,

number of the boys = 9 + 3x9+3x

Total students in class = 60, so

\begin{gathered}9 + 3x + x = 60 \\ = > 9 + 4x = 60 \\ = > 4x = 60 - 9 \\ = > 4x = 51 \\ = > x = 51 \div 4 \\ = > x = 12.75\end{gathered}9+3x+x=60=>9+4x=60=>4x=60−9=>4x=51=>x=51÷4=>x=12.75

On rounding off

Then, number of girls = 13

Let the number of girls = $x$

Then, According to the question,

number of the boys = $9 + 3x$

Total students in class = 60, so

$9 + 3x + x = 60 \\ = > 9 + 4x = 60 \\ = > 4x = 60 - 9 \\ = > 4x = 51 \\ = > x = 51 \div 4 \\ = > x = 12.75$

On rounding off

Then, number of girls = 13

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

$\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}$

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

For $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ , number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ is:

$P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}$

For $P(\text{girl as alternate})$ , number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

$P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}$

So, the required probability is:

$\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}$

Find the value of k such that lim-->4 (x^2+x-k)/(x-4) exists

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

k=20

Step-by-step explanation:

when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0

if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid

if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit

so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4

so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4

4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20

Which of the following points are more than 5 units from the point P(−2, −2)? Select all that apply. A A (2, 1) B B (4, −1) C C

netineya [11]

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:

 $|PQ|= \sqrt{ (a-c)^{2} + (b-d)^{2}}$

Using this formula we calculate the distances |PA|, |PB|, |PC|, |PD| and |PE| and compare to 5.

$|PA|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+9}= \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PB|= \sqrt{ (-2-4)^{2} + (-2+1)^{2}}= \sqrt{36+1}= \sqrt{37} \approx 6$

$|PC|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+1}= \sqrt{17}\approx4$

$|PD|= \sqrt{ (-2+6)^{2} + (-2+6)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+16}= \sqrt{32}\ \textgreater \ \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PE|= \sqrt{ (-2+5)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+9}= \sqrt{16}=4$

The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar corn in a bag. What is the constant of proportionality?

Anit [1.1K]

For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,

$x=Ky$ ,

Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and K is the proportionality constant. If we take Caramel Corn values as x and Cheddar Corn values as y, and then solve for K for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.

$15=K(10)\\K=\frac{15}{10}= \frac{3}{2}$ ,

$30=K(20)\\K=\frac{30}{20}= \frac{3}{2}$ , and

$45=K(30)\\K=\frac{45}{30}= \frac{3}{2}$ .

Hence, the proportionality constant, in this case K, is equal to $\frac{3}{2}$ or 1.5. First answer choice is correct.
